This was one of the best experiences of my life! I’ve made a lot of memories that I’ll never forget. The old city, the oasis, the desert, and a lot more are amazing.
I wanna thank everyone who made this possible and especially our great friend and tour guide Youssef. He was the key piece of the tour, explaining everything and helping us with anything. Thank you! I hope to see you soon on another trip to Morocco.
