What to do and see in Ouarzazate, Souss-Massa-Draa Region: The Best Shopping Tours
The tiny Moroccan town of Ouarzazate is a caramel-colored oasis set against a clear blue African sky. Be inspired by Ait Benhaddou, a beautifully preserved Kasbah that's a UNESCO World Heritage site, or walk in the starry path of celebrities by taking a tour of one of Ouarzazate's two movie studios. Tour the surrounding dunes on camel-back, or simply bask in the quiet bustle of the bargaining sessions at local markets.

I booked a four days trip with another agency but Red city tour were in charge of the transport for us. I wanted to spend one night in Zagora Sand Dunes and then one night in the Sahara desert. The remaining night was spent in the lovely B&B. Nordine, the driver is fantastic. A skillful, friendly and a helpful driver. We had numerous stops to refresh and stretch our legs. The whole trip was fun and mind blowing landscapes. It would take me hours if I had to recount all the amazing places we visited along the way. Thank you Nordine for making the trip fun and for keeping us safe. Hope to make this trip again as a family in the future inchallah. Hafida

Yasyn (our guide) is very kind and friendly. He speaks English very well and knows a lot about the surroundings. With Yasyn we did the following: the Ouzoud waterfalls, drove a quad, went to the Ourika valley and a walking tour through Marrakesh. Honestly I can’t say what I liked the most! Everything with Yasyn is enjoyable for fair prices.

I booked with Green Palm transport a day trip to Essaouira and we got picked up by very professional and smart driver Chafik he is very friendly and knowledgeable, He is very expirienced and knows where to go and stop for food(all good drivers know the best spots for food hence the michelin stars) on our way to Essaouira we made one stop and it was a nice place clean and delicious crepes were served. Once we arrived in Essaouira He adviced us where to go and what to do. We spent the day in this lovely town well recommended to visit. On the return leg it was nice and smooth we slept for most of it as we were tired from a day at the beach. The vehicle use for this trip was a black Mercedes benz Vito in excellent condition clean and I would say relatively new which made it a very comfortable trip and a first class experience. Thank you for a wonderful trip Chafik and Green Palm transport. Check them out for your transport needs while in Marrakech.
