HIGHLIGHTS OF MOROCCO
Excellent itinerary which meant you could see a huge portion of the country in a short space of time. A couple of long days on the minibus….but i enjoyed watching the changing scenery!! Due to time constraints it did sometimes feel a bit hurried but again we did get to see the country’s many highlights!!
Most Inspirational Moment
New Years Eve in the Saraha Desert was an excellent way to welcome in the New Year, one i won't forget for a long time. Watching the sunset from the top of the Sand dunes, then star gazing round the camp fire. Atlas mountains ~ really enjoyed walking through the Berber village and then relaxing on the Gite's balcony reading my book.Essaouira a wonderful seaside town, easy place to shop and lovely fish restaurants!!!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mustapha was excellent! Very knowledgeable and gave plenty of recommendations and advice. Great sense of humour!Ali the bus driver didn't speak much but was an excellent driver!!!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Best to layer your clothes, in December it did get quite chilly at nights in the desert, gorge and the mountains.Toilet roll and anti-bacterial gel a must in your day bag!!! Advisable to have coins ready for the toilets.When haggling start your price below 1/2 of the price the seller is starting with, that way you can ensure you won't be overpaying and get a fairer price. Souvenirs at the desert are very overpriced but as long as your happy with the price your paying its's all good!!

Great trip with a packed but very good itinerary. Some long days in the bus but worth it to see the full range of sites and changing terrain from deserts to mountains and back.
Most Inspirational Moment
The arrival at and walking in Todra gorge is spectacular. I won't spoil the surprise of the arrival but you should have your camera ready when you get off the bus. The drive through the pass on the way to Marrakesh is also amazing particularly when you consider the desert landscape you were in only two days previously. However the best part for me was watching the scenery change as we moved around the country.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mustapha was an excellent guide with masses of local knowledge and great pride in his country. Our driver Hasan was also one of the best tour bus drivers I have ever seen always keeping safety ahead of everything on some very difficult roads and manic traffic in the cities.
Advice for Potential Travellers
- I would suggest not taking the Royal Air Maroc flights which were the designated group flights. They were quite disorganised in getting people on and off the plan although once we got going the flight was ok. However the timing of the flights is also not very good as you arrive very late into Casablanca on the first day so you only get the following morning in the city which is spent at a couple of the sites so no exploring time. You would be better off taking an earlier flight or arriving a day before if you want to explore this city. The flight on the way back is not direct and takes six hours when direct flights are available with other airlines and take about 3-4 hours.- Be aware and ready for the fact that some of the hotels are very basic and not up to Euro standards but this is not a real problem as long as you approach it with the view of this being an adventrue and not a luxury trip.- Pay a lot of attention to the recommended packing list in the trip notes as there is very little on that list that you won't be using (or borrowing!) during the trip. - take some entertainment for the bus trips if you get bored watching the scenery. The bus we had was quite small for the size of our group (15 plus driver and guide) so you may need to make allowances around personal space.

A lot of travelling but well worth it to see such variety, and so interesting. The minibus a bit crowded and the first not very welcoming.
