    We made a route from Marrakech, Dades, Merzouga, Agdz, and back to Marrakech. Our guide, Ibrahim, was friendly, attentive, and always watching over us, explaining the customs and many places we visited. It has been an incredible and unforgettable route. We hope to come back. Inshallah.

    My experience on my journey from Marrakech to the Atlas Desert has been wonderful. We have seen not only its landscapes — gorges, villages in the mountains — but also its culture.
    Our guide-driver has always been attentive to every detail to make this experience amazing. Now he is no longer just a guide but a friend who will always be part of our life.
    Fully recommended. Brahim, eskerrik asko and until next time.
