We had an amazing 3-day tour from Marrakech to Fes with Pearl Morocco Tours. Hassan, our guide, made the journey unforgettable with his deep knowledge and engaging stories. The scenic drive through the Atlas Mountains and the stay at the desert camp were highlights. The food was delicious, and the stargazing in the Sahara was magical. Hassan’s attention to detail made the experience perfect. Highly recommend Pearl Morocco Tours for an authentic Moroccan adventure!​
