We had an amazing trip to Morocco. Maryem was fantastic to work with. She was very flexible in our planning. Ahmed was an outstanding driver and guide. He really introduced us to his culture, especially with music and food. Loved all our guides, including Hassania, Said and Amnay. The only hiccup was with our guide in Tangier, Hana. She did a poor job communicating with us
Hotel Reviews
Loved the location of this hotel. We had a great balcony with a wonderful view. The only issue was an unpleasant smell in our room
Very luxurious hotel. Beautiful decor. The only concern is location, as the Medina entrance clossst to the hotel is hard to navigate
Fun experience in the middle of the desert that required a camel ride to get there. Very nice service and they gave a fun show after dinner.
This was our first experience in a Riad. We didn’t have a lot of time there but the room was very comfortable. Dinner was very good, as was breakfast
I really enjoyed this hotel. Excellent service and setting. Loved the fact that we could have dinner and breakfast outside by the pool. Highly recommend it if you are in the Dades Valley
Very authentic riad in a great kocstion
Activity Reviews
Hassania was an excellent guide. She gave us the highlights in the Kasbah and mausoleum
Long drive. Stopped at a roadside diner which had excellent kebabs
Very disappointed with this. Our guide started out ok but seemed most interested in forcing us to a herbalist to buy very expensive oil. After that she walked 30 meters ahead of us and just was on her phone. She didn’t share any information on the souk. She also got into a large fight with a local guy who kicked at a cat. She seemed to have no interest in educating us about the city

Long drive but we made it to Volubilis. This was a fascinating experience, walking among 2000 year old ruins. We ate at the cafe at the site
Said was an amazing tour guide. He took us first to the royal palace and then through the Mellah. From there we went to a pottery factory and then into the Medina. He took us on a very informative walk through history We saw the oldest continuously operating university in the world and many other sites. Stopped for lunch, having grilled meat sandwiches and tea. He had wonderful depth of knowledge of the city and its culture
Very long drive but worth it. First stopped at Ifrane, a Swiss style village in the Atlas Mountains. Next we stopped to meet up with the monkeys. Our guide then arranged for us to have couscous with a Berber family at their home/orchard. This was fantastic. On to desert where we met up with the Riad staff who took us to the camels. We took a one hour camel ride through the dunes to our camp. The tents were very comfortable. We had a nice dinner and then a show (the staff playing Amazir music). After breakfast the next morning got an exciting 4x4 ride back to our driver
Left the desert and first stopped at a fossil museum which was interesting. Next we saw an ancient irrigation system. We had a lunch at another Berber house before going to the beautiful Todgha gorge. We took a small tour of the oasis next to Tinghir before heading to the Dades Valley. We stopped at our wonderful hotel for the night
Amnay gave a fantastic overview of Marrakech. We had a number of local delicacies and heard in depth details about the city.
We spent time with a local mother and daughter who welcomed us into their home. Cooked a wonderful and traditional meal that we enjoyed together
