An awsome Morocco trip!

My boyfriend and I embarked on a captivating 7-day journey in Morocco, commencing our itinerary from Casablanca. Our adventure began with the convenience of an airport pickup service organized by the agency, setting a positive tone for the trip. Our first destination was Rabat, where we spent enough time to explore the city with the guidance of our guide. After that, we have enough time to explore the blue city of Chefchaouen. Subsequently, our Berber driver, Aziz, skillfully led us to Fes, where we enjoyed a culturally immersive guided tour of the city, deepening our understanding of its rich heritage and traditions. Next, we ventured southeast to Merzouga, undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. Here, we had the incredible opportunity to partake in camel trekking, a unique and unforgettable experience. In summary, our journey was nothing short of amazing, leaving us with cherished memories and a yearning to return to Morocco in the future.
