The Whitaker Family

Family Traveller

We booked the Shared 3 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech as a family of four, and it turned out to be the highlight of our Morocco trip. The organization was flawless from the pickup in Fes to the smooth drop-off in Marrakech.

Our kids were thrilled to see monkeys in the Cedar Forest of Azrou, but the real magic happened in Erg Chebbi. Watching the sunset together in the Sahara felt surreal.

The camp was comfortable, the food was excellent, and everything felt safe and well-paced. Truly worth every single penny.

This trip became possible thanks to a kind family discount offered by Morocco Global Travel. That gesture meant so much to us and allowed our dream of seeing the Sahara to finally come true.

From Fes all the way to Marrakech, everything was seamless. Crossing the Tizi n’Tichka Pass and spending the night in Erg Chebbi were unforgettable highlights.

It felt like a premium experience even though it was a shared tour. We are beyond grateful and would recommend it to any family wanting a smooth and magical Moroccan adventure.

As a family of six, comfort and timing were very important to us — and this tour delivered. The van was clean and spacious, and the stops were perfectly chosen.

We especially loved walking through Todra Gorge and exploring Ait Ben Haddou. The desert camp experience was unforgettable — music by the fire, delicious dinner, and the clearest sky we have ever seen.

Traveling as a large family of nine can be complicated, but Morocco Global Travel handled it professionally. The itinerary was balanced, and even the long drives felt enjoyable thanks to the incredible scenery through the Ziz Valley and the High Atlas Mountains.

The camel trek in Erg Chebbi was a dream come true for our children. Seeing them experience the Sahara for the first time made the entire journey priceless.
