Despite the short notice, we were able to plan the 10-day trip from Casablanca, where and were taken to the desert for tea and a camel ride. On the trip to the Atlas Mountains, the driver was kind enough to stop so that we could take some pictures. After additional tea and a guided walk to the waterfall, we had lunch at the home of a Berber family as soon as we arrived. Everyone on the trip was faultless. Highly recommended..

The trip was very beautiful, and Othman, our guide, was fantastic. We discovered a great deal about his Berber ancestry. He has a deep knowledge of and passion for the Atlas Mountains because he was born and raised there. Apart from that, he has a wicked sense of humor, and we had a great time chatting with him. The journey itself was a lovely introduction to the many different landscapes that Morocco has to offer, including verdant valleys, sand dunes in the Sahara, and crumbling Kasbahs. There was so much fascinating history and gorgeous scenery! Highly recommended.
Eva
Wonderful vacation of a lifetime. From Casablanca, Marrakech through the Atlas Mountains, the Merzouga Desert, and Fes, we enjoyed a 10-day private vacation package. If you go with kids, I highly recommend it. Our driver, a local Berber, was pleasant to talk to, spoke excellent English and native-level French, made us feel safe and secure during the journey, and despite driving more than 1200 kilometers, we never had any discomfort. There was always something fascinating to see or do. The only piece of advice I can provide is to be mindful that the path has a few tourist traps. If you're not a fussy eater, opt to have lunch at a restaurant that serves locals rather than tourists.
