A big adventure with a beautiful finish! Our Morocco trip was perfect thanks to brothers Mohamed and Tmah. I am a planner and like to plan down to the smallest details and Mohamed put up with all my questions and concerns about planning a trip during a pandemic. Our trip was customized to what we wanted to do and how much time we spent at each location. If you have the time, I recommend spending at least 14 days in Morocco to experience the sites, people, and culture. We had been to other countries in Africa, but none of them can prepare you for your Moroccan experience. We had to cancel our first trip due to Covid and visited the following October. October was a great time to visit Morocco as the weather is a bit more pleasant. Our gold star service started with Hassan picking us up at our hotel in Casablanca with a warm welcoming smile and a wealth of knowledge about the glorious city (it's the financial center of Morocco). Next, we were off to Rabat, the capital city where the royal family lives. Hassan has a vast wealth of knowledge about the rich history of the imperial cities, as well as a great understanding of other cultures, languages, and religions to get into meaningful discussions about the politics and social customs of Morocco. He's a smart man with keen insights and he helped us to understand so much more about Morocco than we thought we would. His wit and sense of humor helped to make those long drives very interactive and enjoyable. After Rabat came Chefchaouen, Volubilis, (I highly recommend the wine tour if you are a wine drinker) Fez, Meknes, Ifrane (definitely visit the monkeys in the cedar forest!), Erfoud (We love fossils and discovered that Hassan was a fossil and meteorite hobbyist, such fun!), then the desert for 2 nights -visiting the nomads was an amazing experience (I recommend doing the nomad excursion as it is a real eye-opener into the reality of daily living for some, as well as a delicious lunch and quiet respite). We started our way back through Merzouga, driving through Ouarzazate- mesmerized by the gorges and picturesque valleys- up through the majestic Atlas mountains to Marrakech with a refreshing day trip to the fishing port of Essaouira. It's really difficult to describe the beauty of Morocco, the strength of its people (especially the Berber women, wow, they put the rest of us to shame! They are truly amazing women!), and the ever-present artistry beyond each corner you turn. This tour is a must-do if you are thinking about visiting Morocco. Hassan is par excellence and we would highly recommend Morocco Companion Travel to everyone. From the mosaic-rich Riads we stayed in, pristine gardens we walked through, the entranced medinas, the enchanting kasbahs, the majestic palaces, the melancholy prison we visited (I highly recommend the prison tour), and so much more, Hassan gave us a once in a lifetime fantastic experience. Thank you so much! Best wishes and good health to you and yours. b'Saha - our takeaway phrase.
