Description
Two day round trip in the South of Morocco:
These itineraries both start and finish in Marrakech and are therefore ideal for those who arrive there by airplane and do not have the desire or the time to rent and drive a car. One of our own expert drivers will accompany you throughout the journey and, depending on the number of people forming your group, we will arrange for a car or a minibus. Should you desire it, the driver may greet you directly at the airport or come pick you up at the hotel and may likewise leave you there at the end of your wonderful stay in the South of Morocco.
4x4 vehicles are also available with a supplement. However we believe a car or minibus is sufficient for this itinerary.
The organizing agency is in Marrakech and we may therefore also provide tailored tours and itineraries.
