Morocco Tours Package Overview:
Stand on the dunes, under the limitless stars of the bright sky, and forget about everything for a time. Join us and have some fun!! New Year’s Eve in the desert.
New Year’s eve is always a special occasion to look back on what we accomplished in the past year, the beautiful moments we shared, and the hard times we have been through.
It is an opportunity to escape the real world for a while, get your head straight, and re-order your ideas, expectations, and hopes.
We offer you the opportunity to spend these intense moments with us, in the middle of nowhere, on the golden dunes of the Moroccan Sahara.
We have observed some wonderful moments, tears, laughter, welcomes, and kisses during the years that we have been arranging this event.
