We picked Morocco to be our honeymoon destination in Oct 2017. For the both of us, the highlight of the trip was hands down the 3D2N desert tour from Marrakesh to Fes. Our experience with Ouarzazate Limited began with email conversations with Jaouad, who had been really responsive and patient with all the questions we had as first time travelers to the country.
On the first morning, we immediately felt joy meeting the our first Moroccan friend Abdullah, who greeted us with perfect English at our riad's door instead of the usual cars drop off point some distance away (in his own words, first impression matters!).
Over the next 3 days, we traveled in the company's Land Rover (clean and comfy) with African tunes constantly in our ears. The schedule was well-planned and -informed. We went through the Atlas Mountains, Kasbahs, Ouarzazate, Gorges, Sahara and visited local cooperatives. We could stop anytime we want to take photos without feeling rush at all. We got to see the authentic African side of Morocco. Perfect especially for us who come from the hustle and bustle of a city.
For sure the nature and scenery of this country were enchanting - I was made aware how tiny human beings are on this planet earth, the part that sticks the most is PEOPLE. Abdullah is talented in connecting with others.Throughout our journey, we had too many fun conversations from history, geography, to culture and relationships. We learnt so much from a local's perspective, but definitely one with an international mindset. He's also really adaptive so when we were tired, he just focused on driving and "meditating" his own way.
We found ourselves satisfied visually, intellectually, physically (loved all the restaurants he chose for us!!), even spiritually. We felt safe and taken care of all the time. Once again, SHUKRAAN for making our time with you so special! We can't wait to see you again!
