My husband and I joined the 6-day Fez to Marrakech Desert Tour with Xabbi Tours, and it was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was so well organized, from the charming riads to the unforgettable night under the stars in Merzouga.
Our guide Hicham was amazing—knowledgeable, funny, and always ready to share stories about Moroccan culture and history. He made us feel like friends rather than just visitors. A huge thank you as well to Hamid, our driver, for keeping us safe on the long desert roads and always welcoming us with a smile.
This journey gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. I highly recommend Xabbi Tours to anyone looking to discover the real Morocco!

The 6-day Fez to Marrakech Desert Tour with Xabbi Tours was absolutely unforgettable. From the snow-capped mountains of the Atlas to the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, every day brought new landscapes and authentic encounters.
Our guide Hicham made the experience so special—his knowledge of Moroccan history and culture was impressive, and he always made sure we were comfortable and having fun. Hamid, our driver, was equally fantastic—professional, patient, and always driving with care on the long and sometimes challenging roads.
I felt safe, inspired, and truly connected to Morocco thanks to both of them. I will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family back home.

I came across Xabbi Tours through a simple Google search while planning my trip to Morocco. I reached out via WhatsApp, and from the very beginning Hicham was extremely helpful—quick replies, clear information, and lots of patience with all my questions. We paid a small deposit online, and once we arrived in Fez, everything went exactly as promised. The team was waiting for us at our hotel, Riad Salam Fes, to welcome us and explain the details of our journey.
From there, the adventure truly began. Crossing the Middle Atlas mountains was breathtaking, with stops to see the cedar forest and wild monkeys near Azrou. In the desert, we stayed at Golden Camp Merzouga, where we rode camels into the dunes at sunset and enjoyed traditional Berber music under the stars—it honestly felt magical. The night in the Sahara was the highlight of the whole trip.
On the way to Marrakech, we explored Todra Gorge and Dades Valley, staying at Hotel Xaluca Dades, which was comfortable and charming. Driving through the High Atlas mountains was another unforgettable part of the journey, and Hamid, our driver, made us feel safe and relaxed the whole way. He was always smiling, professional, and very attentive.
Arriving in Marrakech, our last night was at Riad Nesma Suites & Spa, perfectly located in the medina, and it was the ideal way to end such an amazing adventure.
Thank you again to Hicham for organizing everything so smoothly and to Hamid for being the best driver we could ask for. This 6-day trip was truly the adventure of a lifetime!
