The best travels are the ones spent with your special/loved ones - in my case, my fiancé - and also travels that involve meeting great, good-hearted, and genuinely nice people - in our case, being accompanied by our tour guide, Mohammed.
We didn't know that we were (apparently) booked in a private tour (we got our tour package from a Philippine-based travel agency) so we were really surprised and delighted to learn that we have our own private car with our own (6-day) driver/tour guide. But we didn't really feel that Mohammed was merely our "driver" or "tour-guide" but we felt like he was our "big brother" educating us about the history and culture of the Moroccans, showing us the beautiful places in Morocco, and genuinely taking care of us making sure that our experience will be a memorable one!
Indeed, this is one of the best travels we had.. as usual, the negative stories we previously hear about Morocco were all, well, just "stories". Morocco is a complete package travel destination since you will have a taste of all the seasons in just one trip: the summery feels of touring Marrakesh medina and the Sahara dessert; the winter feels of visiting the Atlas mountains; the spring flowers blooming in the Blue city and the vast agricultural lands in the valleys; as well as the perfect autumn weather in the Dades mountains... what a great surprise to us actually.
There are a lot of driving but all worth-it because of the beautiful Moroccan landscape. Of course, the stops on the restaurants that serve the best fresh super healthy foods! This trip could also be our "healthiest" trip so far for not eating rice and consuming alcohol (not available). :-)
