Feb 20 - Mar 6, 2024
What a dream come true vacation...with our excellent driver, Tayeb, we saw an amazing amount of this beautiful country. The trip into the desert at Merzouga, meeting Youstuf and driving through the dunes is a delightful experience. The camel ride at sunset, the black sky with its many stars with the added bonus of a full moon, awesome. The total staff at this camp were helpful, friendly and did everything to ensure our two night stay in a luxury tent was memorable. Moustaffa working with Fatima provided excellent food and service...Marrakesh initially strikes you as a somewhat loud, jumble of people's, cars, motor scooters etc., but thoroughly enjoyed the comforts of the Ryad and especially had fun at La Maison Arabe, with Wafa and Fatiha...top notch marketing. The food tour through the Medina , tasting different local dishes opened up the opportunity for tourists to have the real taste of Morocco...some of our Ryads had many stairs to manoueuve as did the luncheon areas selected by the local guides...to rest up before heading home, Essaouira was perfect...loved the crashing of the waves and the wind whipping through the buildings...small, easy to get around and very laid back....
Hotel Reviews
Luxury tent with its own bathroom facilities and a king size bed certainly added to our comforts...ground was carpeted and electric blankets available if necessary...the place where dreams are made...
The Lina Ryad & Spa in Chefchaouen was a beautiful place to stay for one night. The riad had a charming atmosphere and stunning views of the Blue City. However, the numerous narrow and circular stairs made it challenging to navigate, especially with jetlag. The location was great, but the stairs could be difficult for some guests.
During my two-night stay at Riad Salam Fes, I enjoyed the beautiful ambiance and comfortable accommodations. The riad had bigger staircases and wider steps, which made it easier to move around. The location was fantastic, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a pleasant stay in Fes.
The dining facilities and the bar facilities are lovely, but they are certainly not geared up for early travellers. International people have to be at the airport a couple of hours before their flight time. And so there were not in breakfast facilities available for us when we left in the morning.
Activity Reviews
This is an excellent class with superb skills to ensure each participant enjoyed themselves..would highly recommend even if not normally interested in cooking. Wafa and Fatiha are excellent communicators, patient and quite entertaining...
Yustaff, a very handsome young Berber enjoyed driving up and around the dunes to everyone's delight...a must for anyone visiting the dunes...
A Hammam in my rahad would be more convenient and comfortable..did not like climbing stairs in slippery flip flops...the massage was wonderful just felt the atmosphere was too busy for me to find the relaxation I needed.
The tour allows you to discover the city's highlights and immerse yourself in its culture. From historical sites to vibrant markets, the tour offers a comprehensive experience of Casablanca. The mosque in the city was just stunning. A great way to start your Moroccan adventure.
Visiting Moroccan homes was one of the highlights of the trip. You really get the taste of the culture, and we tried dishes that you couldn't try anywhere else.
