    I came from Algeciras to spend a few days in Marrakech and Zagora. Sleeping with nomadic families all very charming was magical. Another unforgettable night was spent in the middle of the desert with stunning views of the stars. We also had a thrilling quad route. I recommend this experience 100%! Absolutely unforgettable before going to Merzouga.
