It was an amazing trip full of highlights ranging from mosques, medinas, riads, hiking, camel rides, 4x4, camping under the stars. Moroccan cuisine was beyond tasty. Well fed each day. Fortunate to have a great group and CEO to experience The North & The Sahara. Experiences and accommodations were completely off the beaten path! That is what makes G Adventures unique. The itinerary although full really provides vast of coverage of Morocco. Sahara was honestly the best experience. Camping in remote places watching the sunrise, sunset and star gazing while listening to the locals performing folk songs was beyond memorable! G is for generous as well as great!
