Morocco tour

This is my first visit to Morocco. I dreamed of going on this trip for so long. We met Mostafa at the airport in Casablanca, and traveled through several beautiful cities. Casablanca was the largest city we stayed in for a day, it is where we saw the Hassan 2 mosque. We later moved to Rabat, the administrative city. The charming Mostafa was kind and patient with us, took us through many places and enjoyed the trip. Meknes was the second station where we saw many historical monuments ... . We went to Fez, the city of knowledge and craftsmen. We stayed in a Ryad there and ate delicious meals. . . In short, the trip with Mostafa was amazing and wonderful. This guide is highly recommended.

Such an impressive tour

Last January we had what I can call the most well organized and exciting trip of my life with the most charming guide alive, Mr. Hassan. He picked us up from Casablanca. . . . We visited the stunning Fez, Rabat, then Merzouga and Marrakech delving into the history of these areas. The trip was very comfortable and the food was delicious and well prepared. Walking through the Warzazat gorges was quite challenging for me, but manageable and worth the trip. Our tour leader was very friendly and helpful, as well as inspiring in telling the story of the sites visited. And like their slogan Marrakech Dreams Travel, it was truly splendid from start to finish. I really recommend this trip.

Incredible tour

We had an outstanding experience with Mostafa. We left Casablanca via Rabat, Meknes, Fez and Merzouga. We saw many historical sites in Meknes, such as the tomb of Moulay Ismail and Lahdim square. The third day was in wonderful Fez where we had delicious meals. We entered the old medina and came across the Jewish quarter and the oldest university in the world (Al Qaraouine). The trip was fun and enjoyable, Mostafa used to tell us stories behind all the amazing places we saw.
