This was an absolutely incredible trip! The planning done by our local specialist Dounia and the service provided by our guide Abdou was phenomenal. They dealt with all the hassle and logistics so that we could focus on enjoying our vacation. Our guide Abdou was very knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend Abdou and Dounia to anyone else visiting Morocco!
