It was a tour that exceeded expectations! A succession of magnificent landscapes along the way and finally the magical Sahara, where we stayed in the luxury tents. Everything was made more special by the legendary Joussef, who always made himself available and showed us Morocco through his eyes. Highly recommended !!!

I have visited many deserts but each time the dune landscape, the colors and the spectacle of the sunset are exciting. A starry night in the desert is something you won't forget
