“We had a fantastic tour with Nour - he explained us a lot about the culture of Marocco. It‘s great if you ask a lot of questions as well.

“We got a taxi to the main road about a 2 minute walk from the square itself and quickly found The Cafe de France (Walk up the long road, to the right side of the square and you can’t miss it). We arrived early so got ourselves a drink and sat watched the world go by until our guide arrived. The main square is filled with fantastic aromas and traditional music. The way the internet portrays this square does not do it justice. Yes it is busy, yes it’s noisy, yes there are people selling things, trying to get you attention. But, it is one of the most friendly, exciting,…”

“We started the tour expecting a natural and cultural immersive experience, but it was mainly an ultra touristic tour. The monkey sightseeing was at the side of the main road, full of locals with horses trying to get money for pictures - monkeys were almost tame, so not at all the natural experience we thought it might be. Stopped for food on a very soulless place, then drove all the way to the desert where camels were ready for us. One of them was in clear discomfort, as she was crying (the guide said she was still young and not used to it yet, but I could see she was…”
Pick a dune, a medina, a valley or a hammam.
