The tour itinerary was well-designed, offering a perfect balance between sightseeing and relaxation. From exploring the picturesque Kasbahs to venturing into the vast desert, each day brought new adventures and discoveries.
The camel trek into the Merzouga dunes was an absolute highlight. Riding through the undulating sands and watching the sunset over the horizon was a surreal experience that filled us with a sense of wonder and awe.
The accommodations provided by XabbiTours were excellent. The riads in Marrakech were beautifully appointed, offering a blend of traditional Moroccan architecture and modern comforts. The desert camp in Merzouga was a true oasis, providing a unique and immersive experience.
