We had a fantastic time on our Morocco trip. We saw some amazing sights in both big cities and small towns. One of my favorite parts of the trip was walking around Fes's old city.

7 days tour from Casablanca to Marrakech

Our three-person family had seven unforgettable days with Mohamed. If you are thinking about hiring a guide, we highly recommend Mohamed and Morocco Dream Safari. Mohamed expertly guided my husband, 12-year-old son, and me through Morocco's oceans, mountains, deserts, and people. From the excellent riads, restaurants, and city tours to the countryside drives, we felt completely immersed in Moroccan culture and made memories to last a lifetime.
