    It was the most amazing travel experience we have ever had. All three days offered a different experience, from the travel path, to accommodations, to our journey along the way. Lhoucein was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and a very good driver. We really enjoyed our time with him, he was the best guide and would highly recommend Traverse and Lhoucein equally. Thank you for accommodating our last minute request and making a dream come true for my husband and I. Thank YOU!

    Thank you so much for organizing our trip. Since the very begging it was perfect in timing and itinerary. Our guide Hammi was very careful about our comfort and needs explaining the Moroccan culture and traditions. Moreover, Mohammed and Hammi helped us with booking other hotels and finding nice and save locations, organizing transfer as well. We fell in love with Morocco thanks to you! Hope to see you next time while exploring another tour with you’

    We had an unforgettable experience traveling through Morocco and the Sahara with our guide, Mohamed! From exploring the vibrant cities to the breathtaking desert landscapes, his knowledge and passion brought the culture and history to life. He made sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the country. The camel trek through the dunes and night under the stars was a highlight. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching adventure!

    Traverse Morocco is the place to go! If you're looking to enjoy your vacation in Morocco, I'd highly advise contacting Traverse. Everyone we encountered was absolutely wonderful. Mohammed helped to coordinate our trip while Abraham provided transportation. Abraham was WONDERFUL! So kind, patient and helpful. Despite our frequent lateness, Abraham was so patient with us and assisted us many times. Love him deep ❤️ Yakob was our tour guide for two days and he was also so helpful, and knowledgeable. He provided us with so much information about Moroccan history. We were able to complete all our planned activities smoothly. Thank you so much for your time and assistance. Will definitely recommend!

    Before the memory fades, I thought I might give some feedback in my recent adventure (second time in Morocco to update my previous experience). I have probably include these points in the feedback form but just in case…… Firstly, I would like to say that I would ( and already have) recommend Traverse Morocco to my friends for a trip to Morocco. I had a great time. You should probably give Zayed (our driver) a pay rise. What a great ambassador for your company!! Nothing was too much hassle for him, and he was also very professional, courteous and friendly. He was a great driver in terms of navigating the traffic and we always felt safe with his driving. But we have already advised him that he is not such a good singer ! J ( I have him on file singing but its 61MB and wont email!) I could not recommend Zayed highly enough. The accommodation provided was excellent, with standouts being Fes and Ouarzazate…. A fascinating and diverse country, with a new twist at every turn. Something every day made me rethink my perceptions. All in all I had a great time. I would highly recommend both Morocco and Traverse Morocco. Without doubt absolutely Zayed. Any thanks for a great holiday )

  • We have been back for a while and meaning to send you an email. We enjoyed our time in Morocco and our driver (Brahim) was very good. We now understand the “family” Berber structure as you told us about during our initial enquiries. During our travels we got to experience things that the average traveler may not get to do… The whole trip was excellent and the city tour guides were very knowledgable also. As you know I asked lots of questions before booking but can now say your company did a great job and would be happy to recommend your services to all! I had a different picture in mind- Morocco is …not all desert (I pictured it being similar to Dubia- how wrong was I!!) it was a great suprise to discover something different every day- one day in the medina in Fes watching the craftsmen, then the drive over the middle Atlas through []tree covered mountains to descend on the other side and arrive on the edge of great Sand dunes near Merzouga and then a camel trek into the Erg Chebbi desert!! All the accommodation was wonderful… We would however like to say thanks for a great and memorable experience! Well thats enough for now- a couple of photos attached.

    This is just a note to give you some feedback on my recent trip to Morocco. I had a lovely time and it far surpassed my expectations. Firstly my guide Mustafa was excellent. I always felt safe and he was really helpful and accommodating. On the second last day when I wanted to go to the Jardin Majorelle he managed to fit it into the programme and also I got there before the large queues developed. The accommodation was excellent- the riads were particularly lovely and the overnight stay in the luxury desert camp was truly magical. I was blown away by the scenery. There were too many highlights to list them all. I must go again ! Thank you very much to Mohamed Amraoui at Traverse Morocco I will be recommending you to my family and friends.

2 days to Merzouga desert from Marrakech itinerary

Day 1:Day 1. Marrakech - High Atlas - Ait Ben Haddou - Merzouga Desert & Camel ride

We will pick you up from your hotel and begin our journey through the Tizi n’Tichka pass, the direct route to Ouarzazate. This spectacular road offers breathtaking views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and numerous Berber villages. We’ll stop at Ait Ben Haddou to explore the exterior of the famous Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site. If time allows you’ll visit the interior.

Next, we’ll descend into Ouarzazate before crossing the gorges to reach Agdz, where the palm groves of the Draa Valley, the longest river valley in Morocco, line the landscape. As we continue, the lush greenery will give way to the unique volcanic rock formations of the Sahro mountains, leading us toward the desert.

As evening approaches, we’ll arrive at our luxurious desert camp, where you’ll be welcomed with mint tea and fresh dates or nuts. Set amidst stunning sand dunes, the camp offers a sense of solitude in the vast African desert while providing the comforts of a nomadic lifestyle. Enjoy a delicious dinner followed by a cozy evening around the campfire, beneath the starry African sky. The serenity of the Sahara, with its countless stars, promises an unforgettable experience. You’ll rest in luxurious canvas tents, feeling as though you’ve stepped into a tale from The Arabian Nights.
