About Tour Guide El maliky M.
I'm a native of the deserts of Morocco. I grew up in a nomadic camp in the Sahara desert near the city of Zagora, immersed in a culture of hospitality and adventure. Few things are more fulfilling than sharing my love of the Moroccan landscape with visitors. One of the best ways to experience the Moroccan desert, a City Tour with Camel Ride and quad tour enables you to cover a good deal of ground up-close and quickly. In this case, I'll take you to see a variety of desert features, including rocky terrain, dunes and rustic Berber villages. The desert is my home, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
