Excursions from Dar Chibania

We offer a wide choice of private excursions lasting one or more days. We'll listen to your needs and wishes, organize a personalized trip and advise you on how to discover the riches of Moroccan culture.
With extensive experience in organizing raids and excursions, we work with Khalid, the official tour guide for Morocco's Natural Spaces. Dazzled by the authenticity and cultural richness of the trips he has already concocted for us, we asked him to create a structure to welcome our loved ones in the same conditions.
