Morocco

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful custom trip to Morocco for 11 days in May / June 2017. Our agent and the rest of the travel team thought of everything and it was a seamless way to explore a lot of Morocco in a limited amount of time. Our driver was very knowledgeable and made us feel at ease at all time. We learned a lot about the culture, customs and history or Morocco and really enjoyed getting to know such a geographically diverse country - from old cities to the Sahara desert to the mountains to the "grand canyon" of morocco to the beach. We would highly recommend working with this travel company.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

-Gazing at the stars in the dessert at night and sand surfing in the morning

-enjoying lots of excellent meals in Dades valley and Essouara, lunch in Fez, dinner at Riad Arabeque, breakfasts at our hotel in Marrakech

- exploring Marrakech by day and night, staying at the hotel --- the grounds were absolutely beautiful and the hotel had exceptional service without feeling pretentious

-having dinner with a family in Fez and with our driver and his family in Marrakech

-driving through the Dades Valley and stopping to take in some of the breathtaking scenery

-cooking class

-swimming at the pool at our hotel in Dades Valley - the hotel has a small pool perched at the top of the grounds and it is so nice to swim after a day of driving with a nice view of the mountains.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would spend another night at the hotel in Marrakech and another night at the hotel in the Dades Valley and consider skipping Essouara. We absolutely loved our hotels in Dades Valley and Marrakech and the respective areas of the country. We would love to have had more time to hike in the Dades valley and there is so much to see / explore in Marrakech.

We did have a great time exploring Essouara but it was so windy that we couldn't lounge at the pool / beach as we had hoped as the wind made it too cold at the pool and way too sandy at the beach. It is a perfect place for wind surfers and kite surfers. We did enjoy some excellent fresh fish there and enjoyed shopping around the easy going town.
