Of the 8 places we stayed in during our 12-day adventure, this was our favorite one. It is located in the perfect setting with an amazing view, and it was so calm and peaceful; I could have stayed there for much longer and was sad to leave the area. The room was beautifully appointed, serene and spacious, had very comfortable beds and a large and lovely bathroom. Dar Rihana Dades provided delicious breakfasts and dinners in a lovely dining room, with quantities of food that made you groan, but you kept eating because it was so good. And as wonderful as all of this was, it was made even better by the very welcoming and personable host, who also served our meals and entertained all the guests with his charm and wit.

This riad was simply stunning with its elegance, neutral color patterns, and numerous nooks and crannies to explore, including multiple patio levels overlooking the gorgeous town; I would recommend it to anyone staying in Chefchouen.

This was our first experience staying in a riad, and we loved it. The staff were very friendly and gave us our first mint tea and cookies in Morocco, which I came to love. The room we stayed in was beautiful, as was the courtyard and patio on the roof. The food was exceptional at dinner and lovely at breakfast.

What a beautiful riad in Fez! The hosts were very welcoming, and the courtyard was gorgeous with lush vegetation, a fountain, and a pool. The room was huge with beautiful stained glass windows.

This riad was in the middle of the medina, a perfect location for exploring the town. It had lots of character and charm.

This is a beautiful new hotel with very comfy bedding. The staff were very friendly, and we enjoyed our stay.

What a fun experience to camp out in the Sahara Desert! We were offered the choice of riding on a camel out to the camp or riding in a vehicle. We chose the camel, and it took about two hours, with a stop to watch the sunset. We arrived and had a delicious dinner, followed by traditional music afterwards around a fire. The tent was very spacious, and the bathroom was much more than what I expected for tent life. The staff was fantastic! We met with them down at the bottom before our ride up to the camp, and then they fed and entertained us into the night.

Osman (Othman) was our tour guide, and we loved him! He was so personable and knowledgeable about the history of Rabat. He smiled, laughed, knew everyone throughout the city, and shared his passion for his town with us. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rabat.

We liked our guide, Kalid, a.k.a. Columbo. He was very nice, but I would have liked to explore more of Tangier and not just the medina. He was very sweet and did take us to a nice restaurant to grab a bite to eat because we were so hungry; maybe this took away from our tour time and from exploring more with him.

It was a beautiful drive from Tangier to Chefchouen! We made numerous stops along the way with our phenomenal driver/travel manager, Ziad. We had fun at the Hercules Caves, getting dressed up in traditional clothing.

This hotel was excellent, from the pool, to the drinks to the dinner. Abdul was excellent.

Mohamed was excellent, his focus on customer service was amazing.

Great hotel. Only complaint was breakfast wasn't staffed well. Always had to ask for cups, glasses, silverware and items not replenished.

Our chef at the steakhouse, Mohamed, was great!

Great little Boutique hotel - absolutely fitted our stay and was a peaceful retreat from the mayhem of Marrakesh!

The chef and food at this Dar was amazing - Mohammed the host could not do enough for us - you must stay at this place.

Great location and superb glamping. Good food and very friendly staff.

Great Hotel and a calm oasis - suited us perfectly.Nice pool and very relaxing.

Great Moroccan hotel to stay at in central Medina location. Seaview rooms worth upgrading to as other rooms can be a little dark.

Wouldn't stay here again... It was our first night though so we didn't spend much time here. Staff was nice.

Gorgeous!!! Loved our stay here. Room was beautiful, beds large and comfortable, the best shower. Breakfast was amazing, and so were the amenities (pool, rooftop, spa treatments).

The best breakfast of the trip! Fresh Msemmen made in front of you!! Room was clean and comfortable.

By far our favorite stay of the trip. Special shoutout to Mohammed who looked out for us during our stay. The food was incredible, the room was insanely beautiful (private pool and fireplace). Wish we could have stayed here longer!

One of our favorite guides. His english was great and he was so knowledgable. We learned so much! He even added a stop to see the most beautiful mural as my daughter is an art historian. Rabat overall, is beautiful and clean. Amazing architecture. I just wish we had more time to visit some of the museums.

Beautiful drive through the Moroccan countryside. So much to see looking out the window.

Chefchaouen is a must see! Just gorgeous everywhere you look. The whole town smells like orange blossoms, and as a result has the best orange juice. The guide seemed to know everyone in town and watching him interact with his friends and loved ones was the highlight of the tour.

Mohammed!! Loved this guide! So funny and informative. Again, he seemed to know everyone in town and watching him interact with everyone was a highlight. He helped us get a great price on our bags at the tannery too. We loved Fez, it felt the most authentic out of all the bigger cities we visited.

Volubilis were the most incredible Roman ruins I've seen so far (and I've seen many). You must go before they put the mosaic floors into the museum they are in the process of building. It was incredible to just see them in the grass among the ruins. Donkeys braying in the distance really add to the vibe.

Feta was our very favorite guide. Major shoutout to him, the king of the Moroccan guides. My daughter has a severe nut allergy, and as you will learn nuts are a prominent feature in Moroccan desserts. He was extremely understanding of this and cautious. He triple checked with vendors every time. We just walked around the Souk and tried all the things that peaked our interest. The best way to really get to know Morocco. You must try the potato croquettes and fresh cheeses!

Our guide Mohammed was one of the best! He was very knowledgeable and laid back (especially on plants in the Jardin Majorelle). Marrakech is just beautiful. Don't skip the YSL museum, it is a wonderful collection.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Palais Khum.The hotel itself is lovely, beautifully maintained, and very welcoming. The staff was warm, attentive, and consistently helpful throughout our visit. Our room was comfortable, well-appointed, and everything functioned perfectly — which always makes a stay feel seamless and relaxing. The only small hiccup was breakfast. It felt a bit chaotic at times and the selection was somewhat limited compared to the overall quality of the hotel. That said, it didn’t take away from an otherwise very pleasant experience. Also, one important thing. The hotel hotel is not properly placed on Google maps. We really got lost. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

Alkanar Camp was an absolute blast and truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. They anticipated every need — bringing tea, coffee, and anything else to ensure we were comfortable and relaxed. The dinner was delicious, beautifully prepared, and enjoyed under the most stunning desert sky. The evening entertainment was lively and so much fun — such a special way to experience the atmosphere of the desert. And our hut? Absolutely adorable. Cozy, charming, and far more comfortable than we expected. Waking up there felt surreal. It was an unforgettable experience and one we’ll be talking about for a long time.

Our stay at Palais L’Heure Bleue was truly a lovely experience. The hotel is stunning — elegant, intimate, and beautifully authentic. It perfectly blends Moroccan charm with a subtle French refinement, creating such a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast buffet was superb, with wonderful variety and quality, and dinner in the restaurant felt elegant and special — a true dining experience. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and overall everything worked beautifully… except for the coffee machine, which gave us a bit of a morning challenge (lol!). But even that added a little character to the stay. All in all, it was a memorable and delightful place to stay, and we would happily return.

Our cooking class at La Maison Arabe was an absolute blast and one of the highlights of our time in Morocco. We learned how to make chicken tagine with a wonderful chef and an incredibly warm and gracious hostess/owner. It was truly the best cooking class I’ve ever taken. Each of us had our own workstation, and there was a television monitor so we could clearly watch the chef’s demonstrations step-by-step. Assistants were nearby to guide us and make sure everything turned out beautifully, which made the experience feel relaxed, organized, and fun. The space itself was lovely — modern and polished, yet still infused with a beautiful Moroccan vibe. It felt authentic without being overwhelming. Such a memorable morning filled with great food, learning, and laughter. Highly recommend to anyone visiting!

The Medina in Marrakesh is wild, vibrant, and completely unforgettable. Mohamed guided us through the winding streets and souks on an incredible food tour that turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip to Morocco. We sampled a variety of authentic Moroccan dishes — from fresh street food to local specialties — and everything was delicious. What made it even better was knowing the food was freshly prepared and thoughtfully selected. I honestly think some of the bites we had that day were the best food I ate during our whole trip. Mohamed made the experience fun, safe, and meaningful. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marrakesh.

What an unforgettable experience. Sleeping in the middle of the desert under brilliant blue skies and bright, sparkling stars felt truly magical. Our cozy hut was comfortable and thoughtfully prepared, making the whole adventure feel both authentic and relaxing. My husband and I especially loved the evening entertainment — we got such a kick out of it! The flamethrower performance was incredible, and the energy of the night made it even more special. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Most of all, we felt genuinely well cared for from start to finish. The staff made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. It was a unique experience we will always remember. Highly recommend if you want something truly different and memorable while in Morocco.
