Atlas Mountains, Fez, Marrakech

Highlights

  • Offering Morocco tour Packages is easy, but opening opportunities for travelers to immerse in the culture by visiting highly regarded sacred places like an overnight visits to Moulay Idriss were prohibited to non-Muslims until 2005. Experience a home stay with a charming local family; spontaneous opportunity can be created right on the spot when often you are invited to a cooking demonstration by the ladies of the house.
  • You have time to explore the exotic day market, or simply enjoy plenty of time to practice your photography among the vivid blue and bright whitewashed houses of Chefchaouen and other northern villages
  • Enact a glorious medieval era still in full function today in the Medina of Fes and explore the magic of a place suspended in time. Enjoy walking cobbled stone small streets of the medina like Paul Bowles did with best of local guides to show you the way while others are completely lost or visit the strict minimum of this mysterious Medina of Fez.
  • Contemplate under the African skies over the dunes of Merzouga, an ocean of sand under your feet and an ocean of bright stars at the tip of your fingers. This is Magic of The Sahara Desert and the sheltering Skies of Morocco.

"Our family's adventure with Touareg Trails was absolutely fantastic. From exciting buggy rides that had our kids thrilled to a delightful camel ride that enchanted them with the magic of the desert, every activity was tailored for family fun. The highlight was the unforgettable hot air balloon ride over Marrakech, providing us with a serene and breathtaking view of the city. The luxury camp in the desert was a hit with the entire family – warm hospitality, delicious traditional cuisine, and the rhythmic beats of Berber music created a magical atmosphere. Touareg Trails and their wonderful guide made sure every moment was kid-friendly, combining education about the culture with pure enjoyment. We highly recommend this family-friendly experience for an unforgettable adventure in Morocco. Thank you, Touareg Trails, for creating lasting memories for our family!"

What travelers are saying

"An Unforgettable Journey - From Start to Finish I can't express enough how amazing our experience was with DesertBrise Travel, especially with Khalil. Right from our initial conversation, he was consistently available, responsive, and focused on planning every aspect of our trip. While we had some ideas for stops, we didn't have a complete picture, and Khalil took the time to craft a detailed trip plan. She involved us in the decision-making process, addressing all our questions and even providing a comprehensive packing list before our departure, ensuring we were well-prepared. Khalil's meticulous planning and support gave us confidence in the trip's success even before we set off. The journey itself exceeded our expectations. The itinerary was perfectly timed, taking us beyond the cities into rural areas, diverse landscapes, and providing a glimpse of Morocco we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Our accommodations were stunning, and the tour guides at each location were exceptional – well-versed in their areas of expertise and excellent communicators. Special mention goes to our overall guide, Omar, who not only drove us across the entire country but also ensured our comfort, enjoyment, and shared valuable insights, including introducing us to Moroccan and Amazigh music. A resounding 10/10 recommendation for DesertBrise Travel, Khalil, and the entire team. They truly deliver an unforgettable experience!"

What travelers are saying

"I cannot say enough good things about Odynovo, both on the coordination end (we worked with Laura Li, who was fantastic!) to the on-site people (shout out to our airport contact in Cairo Hassan, our skilled driver Ahmed, our fun Cairo guide Mai, and our knowledgable Aswan/Luxor guide Hazem - BEST crew EVER!!!) who make your trip a seamless, safe, exciting, educational, and all-around transformative life highlight. This experience was seriously a bucket-list one for my husband and me, and I can NOT emphasize enough how important the Odynovo team was to making Egypt an infinitely easier context to navigate. If you've watched travel vloggers and social media influencers attempt to navigate Egypt on their own and complain about a negative experience, fear not - if you go with Odynovo, every. single. thing. will be taken care of. There is NOTHING to worry about, and the experience was entirely positive. The people, the food, the culture, the historical sites and stories - with Odynovo taking care of all the logistical details, these are the only things you need to focus on. I am full of gratitude for the experience I had in Egypt, and I credit Odynovo for it. I will absolutely use them in the future for other destinations, and I urge you to do the same. I know my Egypt experience would not have been nearly the same had I not gone with Odynovo. Check out our adventure here: https://youtu.be/vMlAmVk7vBY Also, a passionate recommendation from my experience: DEFINITELY make the trip to Abu Simbel!! It was a major highlight (we went in a private car that left Aswan around 9am since we'd flown in from Cairo that morning). We stopped at the High Dam first, so by the time we arrived at Abu Simbel, the tour busses were on their way back to Aswan, and we had the whole of the site almost entirely to ourselves. It was one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my life. Do it. Stay the night in Abu Simbel if you can in order to avoid the crowds. It was amazing. ✨"

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."
