We went on the Desert Detours January tour this year, it was excellent. I recommend them highly.

Ray organizes and leads in relaxed ad-hoc manner.

If (as we did) you don't always want to go in convoy you can arrange to do your own thing, and meet up a day or so later.

There are good visits and a good mix of adventure and safety.

Thoroughly good value, and better than going on your own, you see more and goto places that you probably wouldn't find otherwise.

Just returned from a 2 month trip which included a trip to Morocco with DD.
Can only say good things about Ray & Debbie. Don't listen to the whingers just go and enjoy a fantastic trip of a lifetime.
Just remember its Africa not Europe so expect it to be different and you won't be dissapointed. If you're expecting 5 star campsites then its not for you and you should stick to France & Spain but if you've a sense of adventure you'll love it.

In Morocco now at a town called Meekness, for thoughs who may be apprehensive about a tour with Desert Detours all I can say is do it, you will not be dissapointed with Ray or the tour, the Moroccan people are great, friendly and we have not felt at all threatened unlike some places in Spain.

An example of the Moroccan people and the assistance of Desert Detours, yesterday we (I) left the camera and lens etc in the back of a Taxi, did not relises for over an hour, when I to Ahammed Rays assistant he called several people was organising a visit to the police, can you imagine that!

anyway we went out onto the road to flaf a cab, who just happened to be the driver we had previously, he jumped out of the cab, opened his boot and presented me with the bag containing the camera equipment, I`m sure had this been England those items would have been lost forever, but it made me feel humble, as the average wage I beleive is only 20 Dr about 1 pound 25 pence, with the kit costing over 2k retail in the UK this chap could have lived quite well for quite some time.

As Ahammed explained to me, as this was a good act the taxi driver would be looked upon as a good person by Alah when his day of judgement arrives.

Morocco... fabulous, the people supperb... come and visit

Hi everyone! Smile

Rebecca Ray and Debbies daughter. (Desert Detours)

Yes mum (debbie) has attended Morocco with dad (Ray) for the Moroccan October tour, and i am left here in sunny spain minding the office etc.. Very Happy

But from what i can gather not only am i having a good break from mum and dad but the October 2008 tour is going wonderfully! Very Happy

So checking through the Forums on recent updats on Morocco from others i came across a man who has made a posting this morning who is on the tour with dad.
Smile

Speaking to dad last night as i miss both him and mum they were telling me what sort of things were happening.
They are all in Meknes now and the group are loving it! But one of the clients had mis-placed/lost there camera by leaving it in the back of a moroccan taxi Shocked

Thinking they were never to see it again!
Dad didn't go into much more detail about it.

So this morning i read that after arranging for people to go to the police to report it missing etc... they go to jump into the same taxi and the man hands them back there belongings! Amazing ?? Maybe for you, but for those who know Morocco well should know that is the Moroccan way.

I am not going to tell dad about the posting but leave it until he gets back to see for himself.
