We were thrilled by the country and our guides

Oct 20 - Oct 30, 2024
We were blown away by this trip, the country itself, but mostly by the amazing people you connected with: our driver/tour expert Nourredine, our guides Mustafa and Ishmael, our cooking class leader Bouchra and the reservation help provided by Sara via WhatsApp. They were all generous, kind, interested, well-educated experts who truly seemed to have our family's needs and interests at heart. So fantastic!
Hotel Reviews
Incredible original atmosphere, great location, clean rooms and fantastically friendly staff.
This was a surreal and dramatic overnight stop on the way to the desert: we met other travellers en route to the Sahara, or some returning. And the staff (Omar!) was funny and warm and welcoming. We liked how quiet it was, the pool, and the feeling on being on the edge of a rugged landscape. Not fancy, but clean and quiet, like a motel. Our kids loved it too.
An incredible oasis on the edge of the sand dunes. We should have stayed more than one night! Could have stayed 3.
A classy and quiet spot with a great rooftop view and gorgeous beachy design rooms,
Unhelpful staff, chauvinistic toward women, and unavailable to help us when we needed them.
This had a lovely pool and a warm friendly feel from the owners and staff, but the rooms were cluttered and didn't feel 100% clean.
Activity Reviews
Was a great father-son workshop. However I'm glad my other kid (10) didn't attend as it was quite technical! But our teenager and his dad loved it!
Excellent history from our guide, however our kids got hot and tired halfway in, and there was no shade on site.
Really lovely to see and experience a real home, with a local person. It gave us a chance to ask questions, and our boys learned a lot.
Was not really a favorite for us. We learned a bit, but will save wine tastings for other countries where it is a focal point.
Was just kind of tacked on to the ATV riding. Felt like an afterthought. No instruction, which is fine. We could have all used boards (4) rather than just having one. Would skip this next time
Loved this but we wanted to ride more. The guide seemed to think we only wanted photos of ourselves on the horses, when really we all wanted to gallop and go riding a bit more freely.
We liked stopping at the rosewater factory, but noticed the prices were very high, aimed at tourists and cost more than at home!
Loved this tour at night with Ishmael!
Excellent tour w Mustafa!
By far a highlight of our family trip!
So cool, the best
Awesome! Such a vibrant city
Was a great location, but we would have liked to know that kitesurfing lesson #1 doesn't include any time in the water actually kitesurfing. So that would have been helpful. However we had a fun day at the beach, and our kids surfed.
Hi Marci,
Thank you so much for your review and feedback on the accommodations and activities. We're sorry to see you had an unsatisfactory stay at Riad Nasreen. While we try our best to visit each site and thoroughly vet them, we cannot know the all aspects of the service and we rely on traveler feedback. Our team truly appreciates the thorough feedback you've given us!
Thank you again!
