Fantastic 4-Day Tour of Morocco!
I recently took a 4-day tour from Casablanca to Marrakech, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our driver, Mustapha, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only professional and skilled at navigating the long drives, but also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the places we visited.
The highlights for me were Chefchaouen, with its picturesque blue streets, and the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. Fes was also amazing, and exploring its maze-like medina was like stepping back in time. The drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains was beautiful, and seeing the Barbary macaques in Ifrane was a fun surprise.
The accommodations were comfortable, especially the riads in Fes and Marrakech. However, be prepared for long drives, especially on the third day when we traveled from Fes to Marrakech. It’s a lot of time in the car, but the scenic views make it worthwhile.
Overall, it was a perfect way to see a lot of Morocco in a short time. Mustapha made the trip even more enjoyable, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the best of Morocco in just a few days!
