This was my first time visiting Morocco, and Waj made it an experience that I will never forget. I reached out to Waj about 1-2 months prior to my scheduled trip (April 30th-May 5th) to help me set up a custom 6-day/5-night itinerary. Waj was very prompt in his response and quickly provided a full-fledged itinerary.
My trip was as follows:
- Day 1: pick up from Casablanca airport, sightseeing in Casablanca, drive to Chefchaouen, spend night at Lina Ryad and Spa (best accommodation in Chefchaouen)
- Day 2: complimentary breakfast at Lina Ryad, walking tour with local guide in Chefchaouen, drive to Fes, walking tour with local guide in Fes, spend night at Palais Faraj (amazing accommodation)
- Day 3: complimentary breakfast at Palais Faraj, drive to Merzouga (Sahara Desert) with lots of beautiful stops along the way - crossing the high atlas mountains, feeding monkeys, Moroccan grand canyon, and more - arrive to Merzouga and take camel ride to the luxury tent (I opted to rent a 1-hour dune buggy instead), spend night in Orient Luxury Camp with complimentary dinner, berber music, bon fire, stargazing
- Day 4: woke up to watch sunrise in the desert, complimentary breakfast, drive to Ait Ben Haddou / Ouarzazate with stops at Todgha Gorge and Dades Gorge, spend night at Kasbah Tebi with complimentary dinner (note: no lights, all candlelit)
- Day 5: complimentary breakfast followed by walking tour around the Kasbah, drive to Marrakech, walking tour with local guide, explore night market, spend night at Riad Kaiss

Waj made this an experience I will never forget. He is an amazing guide with ~15 years of experience, and even more so a wonderful person. He made me feel comfortable and at ease during the entire trip. He even invited me to have Iftar dinner with his parents in Oued Laou. I highly recommend his services to anyone interested in traveling to Morocco.

Wow. I am Speechless. Words cannot being to explain how surreal my day-trip experience with Waj was during the beautifully spiritual final week of Ramadan in Fes. I told him I wanted nature and a non-touristy trip. He took me on his motorbike and we went to the amazing hills of Fes just outside the city. We were the only humans there, walking past grazing donkeys, horses, and herding sheep. The rolling green hills with purple and orange flowers and scattered sun will never leave my heart. We then went to his sister’s family home for a true Iftar dinner and I was nearly in tears of joy from the hugs of the family and the flavors of food that were laid out before me. We ended the night perfectly with the most local hot spring / scrub bath experience. I was the only tourist in this bath. It was amazing. Capped off that with my first Moroccan coffee and then drove home with the cool refreshing breeze on my face. I am forever thankful for him. I leave Fes knowing I will return in a heartbeat and send my family to him for private tours. To be honest, I never book yours and do not like guided things, but this was far from that. Based on my passions and interests, he innovated the best most memorable day that I will never forget. He also has a hostel in Fes BackHome Hostel that I stayed in and will be opening a Riad soon, which I had the privilege of seeing, and wow, can we say honeymoon here I come! He is an all around amazing human you can trust and I made a friend for life. 20/10 review, 100 gold stars! Most Highly recommend. He will make you a trip that will bring tears of joy and memories forever.
