Morocco

Sep 24 - Oct 8, 2024
Such a wonderful 14 days of exploring this beautiful country. Our driver, Ilyace, picked us up at Tangier Med and quickly became our new best friend. He was helpful, informative, friendly, very easy to talk to, and a great driver, We absolutely loved and appreciated how Ilyace made every step of this journey feel easy and stress-free.
We started at Chefchaouen, then to Fes, the Merzouga desert, Boumalne Dades, Marrakesh, Essaouira, and ended in Casablanca - with many interesting stops along the way. It’s impossible to say which part of this journey was the best, as each piece of it offered new and wonderful experiences.
Each guide offered us a great insight into the history and beauty of each of the places we explored. Azdin in Fes, Yusuf in the Merzouga Desert, Mohammed in Boumalne Dades, Hanan in Marrakesh and Hassan in Essaouira.
Hotel Reviews
Beautiful hotel with the most incredible view of the blue city. It was worth every step we had to take to get up to the hotel. The staff were amazing and helpful with anything we needed.
Beautiful Riad in the Medina. Perfectly located,. Rooms and service were great
The 2 hour camel ride to the camp was fantastic. The welcome by all the friendly staff upon arrival was fantastic. We enjoyed the music my the fire and the setting in the desert was amazing.
This was a beautiful hotel in the small town. The meals by the hotel chef were unmatched. It was a wonderful place to stay.
This Riad was incredibly beautiful. The rooms were large and fit for royalty. A great place to stay.
Beautiful hotel right across the street from the beach. Perfectly located. Walking distance to the Medina and the fishing docks. Wonderful sunset from the restaurant on the beach.
Very nice hotel in Casablanca. We only had one night here and had to get up and leave by 4:30 AM. The staff were helpful and provided us with a boxed breakfast to take with us.
Activity Reviews
This amazing and ancient city was so worth the visit. We were so thankful to explore the old Medina with a guide. We for sure would have been lost in the labyrinth of streets on our own. Learning about the history was very interesting and I’m sure we explored places that we would never have found without a guide.
We loved the experience of sharing a meal in a Moroccan home. And we were so happy that our driver, Ilyace, joined us as well. The food was delicious and the family were so pleasant, accommodating and kind.
Beautiful drive to the Dades Valley. We enjoyed the walk through the Todra Gorge. Very scenic landscape.
Our fabulous driver, Ilyace, was there and waiting for us when we arrived off the ferry. He helped us to become familiar with the country and the surroundings as we drove. Chefchaouen was a beautiful town to visit. We loved walking through the streets and seeing all the beautiful blue stairways. Walking up to the Spanish mosque to see the sunset was fabulous as well.
This was a long day of travel. Ilyace made it a great day by making some great stops - in the beautiful city Ifrane, a stop to feed the macaque monkeys along the way, and our stop to see the Ziz oasis of palm trees. The 2 hour camel ride to our camp was icing on the cake. What a wonderful experience!!!
Our guide in the desert, Yusuf, provided us with a great tour and taste of the Berber culture in the desert. We loved the visit in one of the nomad villages.
Our guide, Mohammed, was very entertaining. There was a bit of a language barrier as he didn’t speak much English, but that didn’t matter. We loved the beautiful walk through the valley by the monkey fingers and community gardens. Lunch at his home was very nice.
A wonderful experience!!
Our tour of the old Medina with our guide, Hanan, was very informative and interesting. Hanan brought us to parts of the Medina that we never would have found on our own. I found walking through the artisan section the most interesting and fascinating.
