Misleading Tour Title
The tour was subcontract to Moroccan company sharing with other tour company and this tour operator charged more for the same tour. This trip is misleading sold as Meteor Shower tour while the tour guide had no idea about it as well as no information or knowledge on the matter.

Beginning and ending in Marrakech, this easy-paced tour features a camel trek into the Sahara for stargazing at the meteor shower’s peak, explorations of Fes and Marrakech’s labyrinthine souks, legendary Casablanca, and the Atlantic serenity of Essaouira.
