    Beautiful 8 day Casablanca to Marrakech cultural Morocco tours
    We recently enjoyed an 8 day desert tour from Casablanca to Marrakech. Our driver Hassan was fabulous and his vehicle provided a comfortable and safe ride for our long driving time. We stopped at Rick’s cafe.We were able to change our Morocco itinerary to suit our needs and instead of going to Southern Morocco, we enjoyed a spectacular drive through the high Atlas Mountains and the Toudgha Gorge. Hassan provided useful information on the culture, sights, and places we visited as well as helpful suggestions for restaurants and shopping. At each major stop, we were provided with a local guide to ensure we got the most out of our visit. Our magical accommodations were all wonderful with beautiful locations, great amenities, and daily breakfast. I would recommend Begaa Tours to anyone wanting to get the most out of a visit to Morocco. I would like to return to spend time hiking in the mountains and visiting some less touristy towns. Begaa tours can suggest alternative Morocco itinerary that are better than the well-known sights like the coastal city of Essaouira. We visited in early October which was great weather and lots of fruits were ripening. However, I think April-May would be nice too, to see the wildflowers, roses and snow-capped mountains. Great service and value -thank you Begaa Tours for this amazing Cultural Morocco tours with the best Morocco itinerary

    Best 8 cultural Morocco tours with Begaa Tours
    I spent 8 days traveling through Morocco with Begaa Tours. The entire process was extremely efficient – from gathering information 10 days in advance to creating the best Morocco itinerary to booking and payment. From the moment I was picked up at the airport, everything was taken care of. The 8 day desert tour Morocco itinerary was very carefully laid out but still flexible. The magical accommodations were very nice and the food was incredible with hearty breakfast. Safety and comfort were top-notch. The vehicle was a newer Toyota Land Cruiser. The trip covered the most major cities.
    The best part of my Morocco itinerary tour was my guide and driver Ahmed. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his country. The long days in the car seemed to pass quickly with several stops, sharing our favorite music and Ahmed sharing his never-ending knowledge of Moroccan and Berber history. By the end of our Morocco 8 days from Casablanca trip, I felt like I was on a road trip with a friend rather than a guide. the highlights of the trip are the 2 days desert tour experience of camel trekking and the overnight in a luxury desert camp.
    Thank you to Begaa Tours and my guide Ahmed for the lovely entire trip.

    Amazing Morocco trip and an amazing Morocco tour company
    We did an 8 day tour Morocco itinerary from major cities of Casablanca to Fez, Rabat, El Jadida, Marrakech, and the coastal city of Essaouira. We booked all of our hotels and guides through Begaa Tours and had a fantastic driver, Ibrahim, who really made our desert trip. We had excellent local guides along the way (especially Hassan in Fez the artisan capital) who gave us the city’s history and showed us all the key sites. Most of the accommodations provided breakfast and dinner.
    I couldn’t recommend Begaa Tours highly enough! Request Ibrahim and Hassan if you can for your Morocco tour, and Cultural Morocco tour.
