    Wonderful
    Exotic Lines Travels made our Morocco trip a unique memorable experience. It was easy and straightforward to book the trip with them; prompt communications and accurate information (thanks to Mohamed). The plan of the trip was efficient for the best use of time & fitting maximum site seeing. Many thanks to our super cool driver, Abdo, who made the trip comfortable and fun.

    Top…
    Tout s’est très bien malgré le trajet est assez long (8h aller et 8h retour). A l’aller ça passe plutôt vite car il y a pas mal d’arrêt et les paysages sont magnifiques alors que le retour passe moins rapidement. Nous arrivons au camp de bivouac en dromadaires et nous profitons du coucher de soleil du haut des dunes. C’est incroyable. Certes le camps n’est pas en plein désert et assez près d’une route cependant on l’oublie très vite avec ce cadre idyllique.

    Lovely travel.
    Mohammad our driver was awesome. He went above and beyond to help us sort out transfers after the trip. We sat at the front with him and kept us entertained and cared for 7 hours of driving. Really lovely guy

  4. Wendy

    Highly Recommended.
    The trip was exactly what we’ve hoped for. we made a few stops along the way and had a great time! When we got to Zagora, we got on the camels to ride to our camp which was just beautiful! The tents were really comfy and the people were amazing. Really friendly and taught us a lot about the Berber culture. We really enjoyed the night in the desert :).
