It is slight more expensive than some other day trip offerings to Ait Ben Haddou, but it is worth every penny if you are looking for a professionally organised, engaging and in-depth day tour led by a very knowledgeable and considerate guide who’s absolutely passionate about the local culture. Abdul is a class act, fully recommend!!
1. Abdul is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions with rich context in from history, geology, culture to local economy and produce. His wealth of knowledge and open-mindedness is impressive and his willingness to share demonstrated true passion in his native country and historical heritage, and we definitely benefited from it.
2. The day trip is very well planned, with breakfast and lunch with great view (lunch on a terrance overlooking Ait Ben Haddou is amazing), as well as refreshing tea/coffee break. At Ait Ben Haddou, we sat down with a Berber local for a nice chat, and Abdul facilitated the conversation professionally to translate whenever needed. Abdul went out of his way to stop at vista points for us to take photos and took great photos for us. For a big photography buff like me, it’s only usually possible to stop at those points if I drove myself Ina rental.
3. Abdul is very kind and drove very safely, we believe he might even have received defensive driving lesson. We are so lucky to have him as our guide and can only hope more visitors to benefit from his knowledge, passion, thoughtfulness and excellent service in their visits to Morrocco/ Marrakesh.
