5 American Ladies in Morocco
Morocco

Sep 5 - Sep 13, 2025
We loved our driver, Said. He was very personable. He did seem to have a little trouble with time management. (He liked to stop for coffee breaks). But I suppose this is probably coming from me being American and him being Moroccan. I was disappointed to hear that the Casablanca mosque was closed on Friday because of a holiday. I feel that you should have known that it was a holiday and communicated that to us. You could have asked if our dates were flexible. We would have liked the opportunity to adjust our trip One day earlier or later to be able to visit the mosque. Zahra, in Fes, was amazing!! Wish she could’ve been our guide the entire trip. Visiting the artisan shops in Fez was one of the highlights of the trip for me. Our camel ride ended up being about an hour and a half. This was a too long. I think we might have enjoyed a Small ride around the camp and then getting there in a Jeep or ATV better. The trip was very fast paced, but could not be helped in order to see everything that we wanted to see. Wish we could’ve spent a second night in Ourzazate. That Kasbah would’ve been a great place to relax and maybe have a chance to visit the studios. Thank you for your understanding about the airport transfers and taking care of that.
Hotel Reviews
Beautiful spacious rooms, high ceiling in courtyard. Our triple room had a seating area that accommodated the five of us which was very nice.
We were never told what time we had to leave the next morning. We were told that breakfast was from 7 to 9 a. We figured we had time to shower and pack after that. We were thinking that we would leave the camp around 10 AM. However,We were rushed out right after breakfast. Staff started asking us at 8:30 AM if we were ready to leave.
Ismail so friendly and helpful. He was the check-in clerk, Porter, server, and bartender. He did such a great job! We wished we were able to spend a second night here because it seems so relaxing after our hectic trip.
Beautiful hotel, but horrible water pressure. My shower just barely trickled. It was also very warm to dine in the evening on the rooftop terrace. We were there the second week of September.
Activity Reviews
We felt a little rushed. Three of us were in the scrub room together. Habiba was amazing! She was the highlight of this experience.
Zahra was the BEST!! Wish she could have been with us for more of the trip.
Our camel ride was about an hour and a half, not the 45 minutes that was advertised. This was about one hour too long. I was sitting too far forward in the saddle, which is a metal frame, and was not told until about halfway through the trip. Also, we were never told what time we had to leave the camp the next morning. We were rushed out immediately after breakfast. We thought we had time to shower and pack after waking up for sunrise and then having breakfast immediately after. If we had known, we could’ve planned accordingly.
Got to try lots of different things. Became full very fast. Wish we could’ve tried more local pastries.
Arthur was our pilot. Very knowledgeable and frank.
I think it was just getting too hot to enjoy it.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your time with Said and especially with Zahra in Fes, as well as the artisan shops. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the mosque closure, pacing, and camel ride, and we’ll use them to improve our itineraries and communication. Your insights are very helpful, and we hope to welcome you back to Morocco in the future.
