We explored many fascinating cities, including the picturesque Blue City of Chefchaouen, Tangier, and Rabat. We also visited the vibrant city of Marrakech. Our driver, Ali, was exceptionally kind, helpful, and friendly, always there to assist us with whatever we needed throughout the journey.

A special thanks to Ali for taking us to visit Berber families behind the dunes of Merzouga and introducing us to the Gnawa community in Khamlia, where we learned so much about their rich culture.

We began our journey in Fes and then explored the beautiful Blue City of Chefchaouen, Tangier, the Sahara Desert in Merzouga, and Marrakech, where we had a fantastic sightseeing tour of the city. We fully enjoyed the trip and had the opportunity to visit many stunning places across Morocco.
