We spent 11 fantastic days exploring the sights, tastes and sounds of Morocco. Our driver, Tayeb, was super informative and a pleasure to speak with throughout our journey. He was a safe and experienced driver which was very reassuring. Our stays were in Rabat, Chefchauen, Fez, the Sahara, Ait Benhaddou and Marrakech. We enjoyed the variety of landscapes along the way, the hustle of the medinas, and the quiet dunes of the Sahara. Dune buggy and camel riding in the desert were memorable highlights. The Medina and food tasting tour with Abdul in Fez really helped us appreciate the history and culture of the people living and working in the Medina.

If we had more time in the area, we would have enjoyed the hike through the gorge, but we only stayed the evening. It was a good place for a stopover on a long journey from the desert to Marrakech.

The brothers working at the hotel were wonderful right from the greeting to dinner service. The food in particular was outstanding!! The best we experienced throughout the trip. Every dish was artistically prepared and delicious.

Once we finally got up in the air, we enjoyed the experience. (We were delayed by fog for two hours.) Our view above the clouds was beautiful, but brief, as we had to descend below the clouds again quickly. It took some time to find a safe place to set down, but floating over Berber villages was quite interesting.

The landscape was beautiful. I wished we had a longer walk through the gorge. It was very pretty but brief.

We enjoyed our self guided tour of Ait Ben Haddou. Ouarzazate was a brief visit for photos. The roses are not in bloom in January so there was not much to see in the Roses Valley.

We loved the food tour, but arrive hungry! There was so much delicious food to eat along the way - too much really! Pace yourself. We particularly enjoyed learning about the cooking process and sampling the Tangia and Machoui at Chez Lamine - both dishes unique to Marrakesh.

This was a long travel day, and unfortunately, there was a traffic delay which slowed us down. We opted not to have the camel ride on arrival to the desert as it was approaching sunset and getting late.

Our driver to the desert camp, Hassan, was great. He was very welcoming and delivered us safely in the 4x4 over the dunes.
