An incredible journey through Morocco. From the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara dunes, every day was different. The highlight was definitely the Sahara camp and the buggy experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel safe at all times.

Perfect balance between adventure and comfort. The accommodations were great, the food delicious, and the activities well planned. Watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon and sleeping in the Sahara were unforgettable moments.

Tour di 7 giorni davvero completo. Abbiamo fatto piccole escursioni a piedi nelle vallate, visitato kasbah storiche e attraversato palmeti. Il giro in cammello al tramonto nel Sahara è stato magico.

An amazing mix of nature, culture, and adventure. We visited kasbahs, walked through palm oases, and enjoyed incredible views during light hikes. The buggy ride in the Sahara was pure fun, and the camp was comfortable and well organized.

Un viaggio di 7 giorni in Marocco semplicemente indimenticabile. Un perfetto mix di avventura e autenticità : trekking tra vallate e canyon spettacolari, giro in cammello al tramonto tra le dune del Sahara, notte sotto le stelle in un campo nel deserto davvero suggestivo e confortevole.
Il volo in mongolfiera all’alba è stato uno dei momenti più emozionanti di tutto il viaggio.
Il tour era in piccolo gruppo, ideale per condividere l’esperienza con amici e conoscere nuove persone. La nostra guida è stata eccezionale: professionale, disponibile e sempre pronta a raccontarci la cultura e la vita locale.
Un’esperienza completa, intensa e ben organizzata, che consigliamo a chi vuole scoprire il vero Marocco in modo attivo e autentico.

This tour offered so much more than we expected. From short hikes in the Atlas Mountains to camel trekking in the dunes, every day felt unique. The hot air balloon was breathtaking, and the desert night was silent and beautiful.
