Fes to Sahara desert tour

Couple Traveller

This adventure turned out to be super and cheerful, very happy with the result of the trip, having the great Brahim not only as a driver and guide, but also as a companion. It all started in Fes and then we headed to the majestic desert and ended up in the Red city of Marrakech. Brahim is an honest person who knows the best places to eat, shop and learn about culture and could not miss good music! I recommend it 100%. Thank you very much for this unforgettable meeting vacation in Morocco
