Moroccan Mystique: A 14-Day Voyage of Discovery from Marrakech

Very good experience in our 14 days tour inMorocco

We just completed an unforgettable two week journey with Moroccan Odyssey Tours in June, guided by the incredible Mr.Youssef and driven by the skilled and reliable Adnane. From Casablanca to Rabat, Tangier Chefchaouen, Volubilis, and Fes, every stop brought new discoveries and then the magic in the Merzouga Desert ATV rides, sand‑boarding, and a camel trek during a breathtaking desert sunset. (Highly recommended!) Next, we relaxed at a Eden boutique in Dades Valley before heading to Marrakech, with an exciting, on‑the‑fly detour to the spectacular Todgha Gorge thanks to Youssef’s flexibility and Adnane’s calm professionalism. We experienced everything from sunshine to sandstorms, rainstorms, and even flooding it was thrilling! Highlights included feasting on tagine, exploring vibrant medinas, sipping fresh sugarcane juice, and tasting the juiciest oranges. This trip was pure joy, and we all wish we could’ve stayed longer! Our heartfelt thanks to Youssef, Adnane, and the entire Sirocco team for an amazing time it truly was the trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend this company!

Best experience ever!!

We were a group of 15 people and travelled 7 days together with Adnan, a very kind and professional driver. We appreciated his services. He drives carefully and cautiously. He was careful and paying attention to our needs, from AC to the music, to keeping the bus perfectly clean at all rides.
