May 15 - May 27, 2024
We spent 13 days in Morocco. Working with Said to plan the trip was a pleasure. Said was always helpful and prompt in his responses to our communications. During the trip if adjustments/changes were requested, Said was great in making them happen. Faisal, our driver, was an amazing driver and shared lots of knowledge about Moroccan life and culture. He was always happy to answer our questions. He knows everyone which was certainly helpful in making things go smoothly. Favourite places… the tour of the Mosque and a walk on the beach in Casablanca, Chefchaouen (the blue city), Volubilis (UNESCO World Heritage site - amazing Roman Ruins), Fes (both the tour of the Medina and the scenic over look of the Medina), the magical Sahara, crazy and wonderful Marrakesh (both the cultural tour and the food tour (both with Hanan) were fabulous and of course Essaouira (be sure to buy fresh fish on the dock and have them barbecued on the pier (the one at the far end of the pier is the best)). We loved staying in Riads but be prepared for lots of stairs). There is a lot of driving involved (which they tell you about up front), but you need to be prepared for that. Faissal had stops planned but was also happy to stop if we needed additional breaks or for photo ops. Overall a memorable trip.
Hotel Reviews
Beautiful and well run. Great food. Wonderful people.
Beautiful Riad. Located on the outskirts of the Medina. We found the Medina in Fes intimidating without a guide (so easy to get lost). We ate at the nearby Riad Salam. While expensive by Moroccan standards, the Riad is spectacular, the food was great and the staff were all very welcoming.
Comfortable accomodation in a spectacular setting. Great staff and food. We chose to drive to the camp rather than ride camels (we have ridden camels before and given our age (mid 70s and 80) we decided to play it safe). The drive through the dunes was magical.
Spectacular Riad. Beautiful, comfortable, conveniently situated to the square, great food. Definitely 5 star in every sense.
Great location and breakfasts. The rooftop is a great place to relax after a day of exploring. Friendly and helpful staff. Conveniently located within the Medina.
