Fascinating Trip to Morocco

Morocco | Jun 9 - Jun 17, 2025

We returned to the US last week after one of the most memorable travel trips to Morocco. The cities we visited between Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Marrakech and everything in between from the Roman ruins at Volubilis, through the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert, were a unique and fascinating experience. Morocco had everything to offer from the unique local culture and people to its ancient history, historical buildings, architecture, fossils, great food and friendly locals. The guides at all the locations were excellent and knowledgeable. The Riads were stayed in were very different from anything we have experienced, starting with their location in narrow, winding streets, to the unique architecture and their friendly, prompt service. This is a country we will return to at some point in the future.

A special mention of our driver Muhammad who stayed with through the entire trip. He was outstanding in every respect. He is an excellent driver, always followed all road rules, was courteous to other drivers, and always positive and enthusiastic. He was always attentive to our needs, showed us numerous sites along the travel route, and was friendly, courteous, extremely respectful to us and always made sure we were well taken care of. We came to know him and his family through wonderful conversations throughout the trip which especially made days with long drives, go by quickly. With local friends he has in every stop along the way, he is a great ambassador to Morocco explaining various aspects of the culture, language, food habits which really gave us a sense of the country and its people, beyond just visiting the typical tourist places. We would highly recommend him to any future visitors to Morocco.
