Mar 31 - Apr 4, 2025
Five (maximum) stars: Mohamed, our guide for the days in Marrakech; very informative, very knowledgeable; very pleasant and patient; speaks English very understandably.
Five stars: Yasser (our driver); with us for our five days in Morocco. Also informative as to local customs, “do’s and don’ts” , speaks English well enough, very pleasant and communicative.
Five stars: Camp Inara, Agafay; good food; great surroundings; pleasant people; nice pool.
Four stars: Hotel Medina in Essaouira. Right outside the medina. Just below luxury category, but nice, comfortable, clean and well-located hotel.
Three stars: Riad Pachavana in Marrakech; nice accommodations, but seemed a bit “tired”. Clean and sanitary. Friendly, efficient employees. There was another riad in the restaurant where we dined, Maison Arabe, which seemed much more elegant, but probably more expensive. We wouldn’t discourage a stay at Riad Pachavana, but it’s not a five star place (nor was it advertised as such).
We were favourably impressed with Morocco, it’s people, places and receptiveness to tourists - reserved, but helpful. I would return. ,
Activity Reviews
Three stars, but likely because we are finicky eaters.
Comprehensive; our guide, Mohamed, was fantastic.
Wind was especially strong the day we were there and that negatively interfered with the experience.
