Very interesting tour to Merzouga Desert. We had the opportunity to learn about enchanting aspects of Morocco. An important part of the credit is certainly due to Ismail, our driver, who was able to combine sympathy, professionalism and a great knowledge of the places we visited and the people who live there.
