This is a must for anybody visiting Morocco. The drive to the Big Atlas mountain was wonderful, catching the sunrise on our way up and marveling at the view from Tiznit-n-Tichka pass. Our tour guide/driver was necessarily cautious as he navigated the zigzagging road. Mohamed, our tour guide/driver was very informative and accommodating. He did the necessary stops we asked of him. It was a private tour after all. Upon arriving at Ait Ben Haddou, he handed us over to a different guide and gave us a bottle of water each, for the warm climb up Ait Ben Haddou. The other guide, Radia, was also very informative and patient with us taking stops for pictures every now and then. We then had lunch at a restaurant with an amazing view of Ait Ben Haddou. Upon arriving back to Marrakech, Mohamed made a reservation for us, upon our request, to a wonderful restaurant serving traditional cuisine. It was, overall, an experience to be cherished!
