Thanks in great part to our fantastic driver, Mohamed Isghi, our six-day desert journey from Marrakech to Fes with Morocco Packages was very memorable. Mohamed made us feel comfortable and welcomed right away. His driving was first-rate, and his knowledge of Moroccan history, culture, and hidden beauties added great richness to the trip. For us, the Sahara stood as the high point. We will never forget riding camels into the dunes, savoring native music over the campfire, and silently observing the stars.
