My husband and I traveled on a seven day tour with our amazing tour guide Hassan and his very nice an attentive driver Mustafa.
Hassan made sure our trip was... read more truly Magical! We we're picked up at Marrakesh airport at 12.00 AM and taking to our Riad. We requested to begin our scheduled tour 3 days after arrival to allow us time to recover from our jet lag and 9 hours time difference, Hassan is very easy and gentle young men, he agreed to our schedule change and suggested couple walking city tours, for the next two days, we we're introduced to his professional and very knowledgeably team. We learned a lot of Marrakesh history, super interesting!
The Magical tour for seven days began, we we're picked up at the our Riad by Hassan and his driver Mustafa, a very nice, clean and spacious black SUV. the rest was truly a fantastic experience, Hassan is very knowledgeably of the countries history and his Amazigh heritage and people. He answered all our questions with great easy and sense of humor. He carefully chose the stops to make this trip enjoyable and easy on all of us, the main points of interest: Casablanca, Fes, here we spent 2 nights in a fabulous Riad and experience great service Ifrane, (known as little Switzerland ) we climbed to the Middle High Atlas Mountains and even experienced snowing... what a delightful surprised, we stopped in this small village, Hassan and my husband played throwing snow balls at each other, afterwards we enjoyed hot chocolate the best! On our way out we saw Barbary macaques off the road and stopped for pictures, we continued to the Sahara Desert... Mustafa is a very fun men and very skilled driver
We felt very secured and relaxed the entire time, by the time we reached our Sahara Camp we were all-ready friends and felt so comfortable in their company. The Great Sahara Desert appeared before our eyes we arrived to the camp at the golden hour, where we stayed at the most beautiful Glamping site. (glamorous camping) true to it's name. We we're tired for we had travel all day, however, with all the beautiful sites and the hardy laughter it was not monotonous at any time. After a good nights rest we had a great breakfast, went for an outing to surrounding camps and visited with Nomad families, quite interesting to see how content they live, they warmly invited us to their guest tent and offered their wonderful mint tea. Finally, it was our great moment ridding the Camels and enjoy the glorious Sahara Desert! The Camels are very easy and gentle we got great
instructions and help, so it went very smoothly, carefully planned at Sunset, as a photographer I truly appreciated the timing... Spectacular, fun and breathtaking. Altogether a great experienced, the temperatures for this time of the year (March) is warm during the day with temperatures dropping at night. One of the best travel experience my husband and I have had, Morocco is a melting pot of great people, they are hospitable, kind and very welcoming to tourism. I can tell you that Hassan and his team at the camp will give you their attention and care for your every need from beginning to end. On our way back we took another route that kept our interest and and felt as a total bonus, we stopped at another Riad for a good night's rest in the morning, Hassan brought coffee to our room and later we met fro breakfast, afterwards we took a short and pleasant a nature walk, next day we continue our way back to Marrakesh, Hassan made sure we visited a wonderful Amazigh museum, we stopped at open markets and bought fruits, nuts, dry figs and plenty of dates... delicious.
Morocco has so much to offer with its an abundance of fruits, flower,vegetables, spices and of course all the beautiful handmade traditional Moroccan outfits and artisan industry, we bought a lot of souvenirs and enjoyed the great food.
Travel Magical Morocco truly delivers the Magic we highly recommend Hassan and his great team
