This trip and Megan fat exceeded my expectations (and they were high). Hamid was more than just our driver, he was our guide, often stopping along the way to show us cool things. There are so many wonderful things about this trip, it’s hard to pick. The mosque is Casablanca with all its history. Fes, with its amazing artisans. The monkey forest. The hot air balloon ride. Riding camels in the Sahara Desert for sunrise and sunset. We stayed in some of the most amazing riads that truly took the whole Moroccan experience to another level. We hiked in the Atlas Mountains, explored Marrakesh, and ended the trip eating at Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca that Hamid was kind enough to get us reservations too. I’m already planning the next trip to Morocco.
