We visited Morocco in October 2025 and had an amazing experience from Marrakech to Casablanca. Our car was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, and our driver Mostapha was fantastic. We had excellent local guides at every stop and stayed in beautiful Riads in Marrakech, Dades Valley, Fez and Chefchaouen, plus an unforgettable night in a desert camp in Merzouga–Erg Chebbi. Our local contact was Said from Original travels and he was very responsive. He offered us upgrades and other benefits throughout the trip. Great service, reasonable prices, and truly a 5-star experience. Highly recommend!

An old palace converters into a riad. Has old world charm but very dimly lit, sheets have musty smell and very noisy. We also didn’t have good experience with the dining staff

We went here next morning. Was not too busy. We didn’t find much to see. Having a guide would be great.

Hi Anindita,

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are very happy to hear that you had a great trip from Marrakech to Casablanca.

It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the clean and comfortable car, and that Mostapha took good care of you. We’re also glad you liked the local guides, the beautiful Riads, and your night in the desert camp in Merzouga.

About the Tiziri Luxury Camp, we are sorry you were not able to stay there. As Said explained, there was a special event and a birthday party that night, and the owner told us there would be a lot of noise. For your comfort, we decided to move you to another camp so you could enjoy a quiet and relaxing night.

Said will be very happy to hear your nice words. He always tries his best to help and make the trip smooth for everyone.

Thank you again for choosing Original Travels. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back to Morocco anytime!

Best Wishes,
Abdel
