Hicimos una expedición de 3 días / 2 noches desde Fez a Marrakech a través del desierto. Nuestro guía Said fue muy amable e hizo todo lo posible para que nuestra experiencia fuera agradable. Esta fórmula es muy interesante para recorrer distancias tan grandes con mayor comodidad que el autobús. Muy recomendable.
