Midwesterners Making Moroccan Memories
Morocco

Apr 15 - Apr 24, 2024
What an incredible trip! Our group of 6 family and friends had the best time in Morocco. First, when we starting booking this trip we were connected with Ali. He did a fantastic job creating the itinerary and answering all of our questions. Then Said was our emergency contact and while we didn’t need to interact much, it was always pleasant and professional. We were LUCKY enough to have two driver guides in Saadane and trainee Hamza. Saadane was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions during the trip and took our safety very seriously. Thank you brother! Hamza was always helping during the trip translating and buying roadside fruit and taking photos (have him take your photos!!!). We all agreed he will make a great guide! Chefchaouen was stunning and Saadane showed us some wonderful spots there. Then on to Fes. Our Riad was A+ and we spent a day with our local guide Mo Mo. He showed us all the historical spots and gave all the details. Then also brought us to all the best spots to shop! On to the desert! The Sahara is breathtakingly beautiful and the guide and experiences we had there I will never forget. Ride the camels and visit the Nomads. You won’t be disappointed. Ait Ben Haddou is a great pit stop on the way to Marrakesh. The Red City is another highlight and the energy in the Medina in undeniable. We got to experience both a walking and food tour with Hanan and it was such a treat to get to know her. She was so fun and I’m so grateful that we got to have deeper conversations on the second tour. She showed us all the great food stalls! Don’t leave Morocco without heading to the Hammam for a scrub! After 10 glorious days we had a tearful goodbye (maybe that was just me). Sending lots of love to our brothers Saadane and Hamza from MN and WI.
Hotel Reviews
We didn't get to spend a lot of time at the hotel, but it was beautiful and clean and the view are spectacular. Highly recommend.
This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed at and loved the rooftop bar and terrace.
A great spot to stop on the way to Marrakesh from the desert. We ate at the restaurant on site which was convenient after a long day of driving.
One of the most fun experiences of my life. Driving the 4x4s out to the camp is super fun and the drivers have some fun with it on the dunes. Staff are very welcoming and accomodating. The food it great! Tents only have AC at night but that was fine as we were out partaking in all the fun activities. Music and fire at night is really special.
Very nice hotel in a great location. Just walk right out into the souks and enjoy great shopping and street food. Head right around the corner and get a Moroccan crepe with olives in it from Fatima!
Activity Reviews
Hanan was a fantastic guide and all the food was super good!
Do this experience! Spending time with the family was so special. We ate and talked and asked so many questions and wore kaftans and danced. Very memorable.
This is a great activity if you love to cook or enjoy good food! Really fun to work with the chefs!
Experiencing the Erg Chebbi was something I will never forget. I enjoyed meeting the Nomad family and playing with the kids, they were so welcoming. I wish we would have know more about the family and any gifts we could have brought to them.
