The team was super responsive and even adjusted the itinerary to match what I wanted. I never felt rushed or like “just another tourist.” If you’re thinking about visiting Morocco don’t wait.

I booked the 2-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour with Morocco Tourism Packages, and it was unforgettable thanks to Jamal. He was punctual, kind, and very knowledgeable about Moroccan culture and landscapes. Despite the long drive, Jamal made it enjoyable with great stops, local stories, and delicious food recommendations. The highlight was the camel ride at sunset and spending the night in the desert camp under the stars it felt magical. Jamal always made sure we were comfortable and safe. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a short but truly authentic Moroccan desert adventure.
