Our great times in Morocco!!!

Morocco | Dec 19 - Dec 27, 2024

Mr. Ismael was our Drive, and overall Trip Guide. He was very good company - polite, knowledgeable, and very proud of his homeland!! And besides the standard highlights, he shared with us a lot of very interesting facts and tidbits, and experiences, that made the long drives very interesting and enjoyable.

Our drives through the varying terrains of the different regions in Morocco were enjoyable by themselves, besides the destinations we visited and spent time at.

While we don't quite recall the names unfortunately of the local guides who took us around individual destinations, we do remember another Mr. Ismael, who spent a whole day (our first day) with us in Marrakesh. Marrakesh was a very interesting city - with ancient mosques (the Koutoubia), palaces (the), the ancient and very quaint Islamic Learning Center (Ben Youssef Madarasa), the vast, vibrant, hugely interesting outdoor market, besides the beautiful, and VERY CLEAN street markets inside the Medina!!

As enjoyable as Marrakech was, our trip continued to become more as we traveled through Baumalme Dades, stayed at a Desert Camp close to the eastern border, drove through the Ziz valley, with its endless date palm plantations, lost ourselves in the bustle and beauty of Fez's Medina markets, then on to stately Rabat, the very quaint Chefchouen,
