When we came to Morocco, we did some research about the language, food and culture about this country. Morocco also put its name in the worked map after the World cup heroics! However, this trip was a great way to understand this beautiful country intimately. We started the trip at Marrakech. Our trip was supposed to start at 8 am but our Touda manager was able to negotiate with our guide to start at 8:30 so that we can have breakfast. We met our driver cum guide Khaled at the Medina at 8:30. The highlight of our trip was to have khaled as our companion. We learned a lot about the country and the culture, the good and the bad in addition to the sites of interest. On the first day we went to Dades valley and stayed at the beautiful Babylon hotel for the night. We drove through small villages on the lower Atlas mountain region and Ouarzazate. On the second day we left early for the Desert. The camel ride through the sand to the camp site was awesome, we stayed at the camp where the everything was perfect. The sunset and sunrise in the Sahara was awesome! The next morning, we got a bit delayed because the ride from the camp (4 wheel drive. You can opt for camel ride back as well but we decided for a shorter trip). Khaled was waiting for us at the Riad and we started our journey to Fes around 9 am. It was a long trip and we drove through changing Moroccan landscapes of desert, mountains, valleys before we reached Fes in the evening. We would recommend Khaled and this trip to everyone reading.
