Tour Reviews
Family Adventure Full of Memories
Our family of six had the best time on this private tour. The camel ride was a favorite for the kids, and the peaceful oases gave us time to relax. The driver’s recommendations for restaurants were fantastic!
Great experience in Morroco
It’s hard to find the right words to explain how wonderful our trip through Morocco with the Day Desert Tours team was. We visited many places in Morocco that would have been impossible to do without Ali (our guide), and he gave all of us a newfound appreciation and love for this country.
We highly recommend Day Desert Tours as the best service and tour operator in Morocco. It was more fun than any expectation I had because I had no idea what to expect. Everything was prepared well, and the food was delicious. We stopped in restaurants and hotels for overnight stays. I appreciate your service, Ali. Thank you.
our amazing group trip
Our private group loved how personal this tour felt. The driver shared interesting stories about Moroccan culture, and the stops at Berber villages and oases added a unique touch. The desert camp was clean, comfortable, and peaceful.
