We have just concluded an unforgettable trip organized by Morocco Desert Gate. From start to finish the experience was flawless, and the planned itinerary exceeded our expectations. The people he chose as guides made us feel truly at home, answering all our doubts/curiosities.
He let us fully experience Morocco, eating and walking around local places, which not everyone does. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Riads he chose so beautiful. You can see that they are well designed, and also comfortable for those of us who wanted to take a walk in the center in the evening. If you are looking for an agency that makes you feel at home and introduces you to the real Morocco, I recommend you contact them!
