Mom and I did a 3-day tour from Marrakech to Fes with Best Tours in Morocco. It was our first time visiting Morocco, and we definitely loved it. Our guides were very professional, from the driver, Ahmed to Hassan, the camel guide for the Sahara part.
We visited the impressive Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah and many Berber villages along the way. The Berbers are warmly welcoming. In the Sahara, we stayed in a luxury desert camp, it was my favorite part! We experienced the locals, played around the campfire, enjoyed stargazing, and the food was also very tasty.
On our way to Fes, we had the chance to see the Barbary apes at Azrou. We wish we had done a longer trip with these guys. We cannot recommend this company enough. I just got back home, and as I watch my memories, I’m already planning another trip with my friend through Best Tours in Morocco.
It’s easy. You only need to pay a small deposit, and you can pay this via PayPal or bank transfer. Don’t worry about the rest of the payment, because you can pay the remaining balance in cash (euros, dollars, or dirhams) to your guide on the first day of your tour.

Our luxury and standard camps are private. The only difference is that the standard camp has shared bathroom.
Because the desert is far away from city lights and pollution, you can see the stars very clearly, and the Milky Way.
The journey to the camp takes about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours each way. Note: if you prefer, you can take a 4×4 vehicle to the camp as an alternative
Often available, especially in luxury camps
