Review of our 5 days Moroccan itinerary:

Unforgettable

It was an interesting tour and a wonderful experience! This agency was a blessing. Aziz is attentive, prompt, and patient. We had planned a five-day trip to the desert, but when we got to Marrakech, we decided to travel to the seaside as well. amazing landscape. This nation features desert, mountains, and beaches! It’s all worth discovering. Morocco is amazing.

Aziz followed us everywhere, answering questions and offering anecdotes about his nation and people. Only a local Berber can sense the charm, calm, and beauty of the desert and ocean. We came home with many impressions and a wish to return. We’ll contact Aziz since there’s plenty to accomplish. The agency has a professional approach and fair costs.

Team that is entertaining

Our 5 journey started in Casablanca and traveled via Fes before arriving in Merzouga Desert across mountains and valleys. Lhoussain is a fantastic driver who has GPS in his mind and knows practically every corner of the nation as a desert native. We spent a magnificent starry night in the desert with campfire romance and a daybreak camel ride. A memorable experience.

We learnt a lot about the nation throughout the several hours we spent in the automobile. I’m already planning my future vacation with Lhoussain.

Excellent experience

Ali and I met a few years ago in Casablanca. A few buddies and I took a brief road trip around Morocco with him and his vehicle. This was a memorable experience, thanks to Ali and his companions’ lovely care. Ali’s warm and respectful demeanor appeals to me. He understands how visitors want to be handled and what to do to make them feel at ease.

Ali, like many tourist guides across the globe, needs money to survive. This travel agency comes highly recommended!

The city itself has a population of around 3,200,000 people, but the greater Casablanca area, which includes the suburbs, has a population of over 4,000,000 people. Casablanca city has a population of over 7.2 million people, making it one of the most densely inhabited locations in the nation. Casablanca is Morocco’s most important economic and industrial city, as well as North Africa’s biggest port.

Fes, Morocco:

Fes, often known as Fez, is a northern Moroccan provincial city with the terraced ancient town of Fes el-Bali in the Oued Fes valley and the plateau district of Fes el-Djedid. The city is one of the most important economic hubs in the nation. Its main economic activities include the manufacture of leather, textiles, and metal items, as well as dyeing and ceramics. Handcrafted items, rugs, jewelry, and fragrances are also produced. There was also a thriving commerce in agricultural items from the surrounding area. Fes also serves as the capital of the Fes-Boulemane region, one of Morocco’s 16 provinces.

Merzouga, Sahara Desert:

Mergouza is 45 kilometers away from Erfoud. It is also around 20 kilometers from the Algerian border. It is one of the final communities before the Sahara sand engulfs the region.

The tours to Erg Chebbi begin at Merzouga. The fine sand hills may reach heights of 150 meters. Brown waves may be seen for kilometers. This is precisely how you picture the desert.

In Merzouga, you may experience traditional Moroccan entertainment in the evenings. Drums and attractive folk dances complement a delectable tagine, freshly baked bread, and couscous.

After the desert, it’s worth the drive to Dayet Srji. Rare species may be seen in this salty lake west of Merzouga all year. Birdwatchers, in particular, would be astounded. Flamingos, buzzards, and falcons may be observed in this region in the spring. Reptiles such as snakes and lizards abound, as do gerbils and desert foxes.

Ait Benhaddou’s Kasbah:

The Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou is around 29 kilometers from the city of Ouarzazate. It is a fortified town designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ksar is a typical mud-brick building in Morocco, which was common in the area before the Sahara.

The Ksar is situated on the Ouarzazate River’s left bank. A caravan route from Marrakech to Timbuktu through Zagora ran beside it in ancient times. The Ksar was most likely constructed in the 11th century. However, many families continue to live in the homes and sell souvenirs.

When you walk around these old walls, you might think of things that happened here in the past.Ait Ben Haddou is a fascinating location.

The crimson city of Marrakech:

Marrakech, located around 150 kilometers from the Atlantic coast, is one of Morocco’s biggest and most significant metropolitan centers, along with Casablanca, Fes, and Rabat. Due to the large number of tourists, one of the country’s main airports was built on the outskirts of Marrakech. This made the city easy to get to.

Once in Marrakech, you may stay in one of the city’s hundreds of hotels. There is a wide range of prices, so you may stay in a two-star hotel for €25 per night or a five-star hotel for at least €70. You may also stay at a guesthouse. Offers start at as little as seven euros.

The Al Koutoubia Mosque, with its almost 80-metre-high minaret, is a must-see tourist site. The famed sultan’s palace may be found in the city’s historic quarter, known as the Medina. You may also stroll along the almost ten-kilometer-long fortress walls, erected in the 12th century. Nearby is one of the most important Islamic schools in North Africa.
