Our recent trip to Morocco was an incredible experience, made even more special by the people who guided us along the way. One of the true highlights was our driver, Omar. Not only was he highly professional and reliable, but his warm personality and deep knowledge of Moroccan culture and landscapes added immense value to our journey. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, informed, and engaged throughout the trip.

We were also impressed by the professionalism and thoroughness of all the local guides we encountered. Each one brought a unique perspective and helped us better understand the rich history and traditions of the region.

Among the many memorable experiences, we especially enjoyed the vibrant souks and a hands-on cooking class in the city—both offering a sensory feast and an authentic taste of Moroccan life. In contrast, the rural part of our trip offered breathtaking topography and charming village markets, giving us a chance to experience the country's natural beauty and slower pace of life.

Overall, this trip was a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and scenery—made exceptional by the people who shared their knowledge and hospitality with us.

Hotel Reviews
Kasbah Tiziri
Kelaat Mgouna

Staying at this riad was a truly unforgettable, authentic Kasbah experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the attention to detail in every aspect of the property—from the beautifully preserved architecture to the lush gardens that felt like an oasis. The lodging was thoughtfully designed, blending traditional Moroccan charm with modern comfort. The food was another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. What made the stay even more special was the warmth and hospitality of our host, who was genuinely welcoming and eager to share the culture and history of the region. It felt less like a hotel stay and more like being a guest in a cherished family home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Moroccan culture in a setting that is both peaceful and inspiring.

Kasbah Itrane Tamnougalt
Tamnougalt

Kasbah Itrane Tamnougalt wasn't as charming as the other accommodations. It felt more like a large resort and lacked the personal touch and intimacy of a Riad.

Sahara Stars Luxury Camp
Merzouga

The Sahara Stars Luxury Camp was a fantastic experience. It looked exactly like the pictures and was everything we expected. Despite a minor communication issue about transportation back to the road, the overall experience was superb and definitely a highlight of the trip.

Activity Reviews
Guided Tour of Taroudant

Taroudant

The guided tour in Taroudant was quite disappointing. We wanted to shorten the tour from two hours to one due to fatigue, but the guide insisted on following the complete itinerary. It was a little frustrating as we were really tired after a long day of travel and wanted to rest in our beautiful Riad.

The private cooking class with the souk tour was absolutely fabulous. The hosts were incredibly nice, and the environment was comfortable. It was a perfect cultural exchange and learning experience. We cooked bread, a tangerine dish, and a pastry. I highly recommend it!

The guided tour of Marrakech was extremely educational. It's essential to go on a city tour to truly understand the culture and city dynamics. It provided a wonderful perspective of Marrakech, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
