Our Ya’lla tour in Morocco was superb
Our Ya’lla tour in Morocco was superb! We loved everything from beginning to end. Morocco as a destination exceeded our expectations with the country’s surprising diversity of landscape, its fasinating history and culture, the friendliness of the people, the colorfulness and liveliness of the cities, and the high standards for accommodating visitors. A special thanks to our travel agents in Chicago, Marlene Mann and Ingrid Brown for coordinating all our dates and ideas concerning itinerary. We loved our driver and main tour guide Abdullah Lagzouli from the moment he picked us up at Casablanca airport. From beginning to end he was courteous, kind, thoughtful, helpful, reliable, charming, relaxed and personable. Our hotels were all memorable. Riad Perle De la Medina Fes was beautiful and spacious with a wonderful staff. Our guide in Fes, Ahmed, was a pleasure to be with and highly professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our night in the Sahara and very much enjoyed the camel ride, the excellent food, the campfire, the tent, and the hospitality. Riad Tama in Ouarzazate was lovely, and even though our room was a little cramped compared to the other riads, the property was so beautiful and perfectly located. Meals and staff here were also very good. We really appreciate that Abdullah also took us to see a very non-touristic local outdoor market in Ouarzazate. Riad Dar Karma in Marrakesh was excellent, we found the space, service, the hammam and the food all wonderful. Our special New Year’s Eve dinner and entertainment was extraordinary! Moulay Hochem, our guide for two days in Marrakesh was outstanding; extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Other highlights were Atlas Studios, Casbah Ait Ben Haddou and the Todra Gorge.
