This trip was truly the most beautiful tour I have ever been on. First of all, our guide Hassan was the best guide you could ask for. He brought us very close and personal to the locals and was able to offer us a truly authentic experience in their culture. I was able to see some of the most beautiful places I have seen on this 13-day best of Morocco tour.
I highly recommend this tour to see all the greatness that Morocco has to offer. My favorite places were the Sahara desert and the Atlas Mountains, absolutely breathtaking! Also meet nomads and amazing dinner at the local family home, the best food of the trip … with a camel ride.
