This 4x4 desert tour was the highlight of our Morocco trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to places we never would have found on our own. Visiting the nomadic family and sharing tea with them was such a special experience. The fossil sites were fascinating, and the views of Erg Chebbi from the 4x4 were spectacular.
