Morocco Meander’s Desert Oasis and Coastal Charm tour was a journey of a lifetime. The vast dunes of Erg Chigaga were a sight to behold, and the camp they set up for us was comfortable and provided a genuine taste of desert life. Essaouira, on the other hand, offered a completely different, yet equally captivating experience. The coastal town’s history, culture, and cuisine left us in awe. The tour was well-organized, and the guides were knowledgeable and accommodating. Morocco Meander truly knows how to create an unforgettable adventure in Morocco!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Morocco Desert Oasis and Coastal Charm tour with Morocco Meander. It was an incredible journey that allowed us to immerse ourselves in two distinct Moroccan environments. The pristine silence of Erg Chigaga’s dunes and the picturesque Essaouira shoreline offered an incredible contrast. Morocco Meander’s attention to detail, from the comfortable accommodations to the delicious local cuisine, made the trip an absolute joy. We felt safe, well-informed, and thoroughly entertained throughout. This tour exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to explore more with Morocco Meander in the future.
