Oct 8 - Oct 16, 2026
The overall expeience was excellent. Highlights were dinner with families, Marakesh tour with Moroccan history, sunset trip in desert, guided stops at the various points of interest, and generally the experience of interacting with the Moroccan people.
Our driver, Abdel, was over-the-top excellent, an 11 out of 10.
A few suggestions:
1. Although most stops were NOT aggressivey pushing sales of their products, a couple did...not comfortable.
2. A walk through the gardens at the "rug stop" was not particularly interesting and, in our case, the ground was muddy and uneven so quite messy and somewhat dangerous.
3. Acceptance of credit cards was sporadic. Thus, I would suggest advising clients to have sufficient amount of Morrocan cash for the week.
4. Because of the frequent tipping of guides and other service people, I would also suggest that clients have smaller denominations available.
5. The last Riad routinely shuts off the water overnight. Quite a surprise when you need to wake up to make an early flight.
6. Logistics for arriving at & leaving the desert camp could be fine-tuned...all aspects, who, what, when, & where. Communications with, and seemingly among, the staff at the desert camp was disjointed at best.
