11 days tour from Casablanca
We went on an expedition to Merzouga's desert with viajeenmarruecos, and I have to tell that it was unsurpassed for us.
Moha and Ali have taken care of everything, and the accommodations have been excellent....
People that criticize this firm are insane!
There was internet in the tour minibus, they took you to various locations to see along the trip, the driver allowed you to listen to your music in the minibus, and there were surprises along the way.
I'm not sure what to say about you, Ali... You radiate happiness! Thank you for coming along on this journey with us. We couldn't have made a better decision with you, in my opinion. A fantastic experience that comes highly recommended! Please do not hesitate to book with this firm; it is without a doubt the finest! You will not be sorry.

Without a doubt the greatest
You cannot express how wonderful it is to be in a place like Morocco; the culture, the desert, the food, everything was fascinating to me. I believe that this is an experience that everyone should put on their bucket list at some point in their lives; the agency is extremely formal and reliable, and everything is very well organized. 1) They can pick you up at the airport and take you the day of your departure, they provide two meals per day, and the hotels where you stay are very spacious, and you are greeted with traditional tea, 2) they transport you in a van with other people, so it is a great opportunity to meet new people if you can go alone (a) no problem believe me. My favorite moment was the desert camp where you will never experience something so mystical and fascinating 100 percent you will feel like a born Berber, the guides are very prepared simply recommend it widely mind, plus the people who carry the camels are experts in photography so don't be afraid to hand over your phone to take pictures.

Highlights overview:
Casablanca
Casablanca, also known as Casa or Dar El Baida, is Morocco’s economic hub, with its artificial harbor handling the majority of the country’s international commerce. The city, which is located on the west coast, resembles a metropolis of southern Europe: cosmopolitan, contemporary, and frantic, with luxury brands in its shops. It will not be difficult to locate an excellent place to dine in Casablanca, regardless of your budget. Casablanca, which was founded in 1906 on the site of a 7th century Berber city that was destroyed by an earthquake in the second half of the 18th century and is still partially surrounded by the original ancient walls, where a labyrinth of small streets connect among stone houses, has a population of about 3 million people.
Outside the Medina, the Nouvelle Ville, a French-built metropolis with boulevards, retail malls, banks, major hotels, and contemporary boutiques, is located. The white Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, which overlooks the gardens of the Parc de la Ligue Arabe, sits to the west of the residential areas. In the evenings, walk between the El Hank lighthouse and the mausoleum of Sidi Bou Abderrahmane, the city’s primary beach resort, along the An-Diab coastal route. This area is also great for watching beautiful sunsets and partying hard in one of the area’s discos. Casablanca has a temperate climate, with warm winters and cool summers brought on by the Atlantic air, making it milder than Marrakech or Fez.
