Best Things to Do in Ait Benhaddou

I recently embarked on a 15-day tour through Morocco, and it was an absolutely unforgettable journey. From the vibrant streets of Marrakech to the serene tranquility of the Sahara Desert, every moment was filled with awe-inspiring experiences.

The tour began in Marrakech, where I was instantly captivated by the city's lively energy, bustling souks, and historical landmarks. Exploring the Atlas Mountains was a highlight, offering breathtaking views, encounters with Berber communities, and trekking through stunning valleys.

The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the Sahara Desert. Riding camels across the dunes at sunset and spending a night in a traditional Berber camp under the stars was an experience beyond words. The hospitality of the locals and the peacefulness of the desert made it truly magical.

Visits to ancient cities like Fes and Chefchaouen transported me to another time. The intricate architecture, winding streets, and rich cultural heritage were captivating. Chefchaouen's blue-washed alleys were a photographer's dream.

Essaouira and Casablanca offered a different coastal charm, providing a relaxing contrast to the vibrant cities and desert landscapes.

Overall, this tour allowed me to experience the diverse beauty and rich culture of Morocco. Kudos to our guides for their knowledge, professionalism, and making every moment memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an authentic and immersive Moroccan adventure.

Our group of four adults, comprising two couples from the USA, had an exceptional vacation experience in Morocco. Our journey was a seamless delight, beginning with our initial contact with Trek Desert Maroc, continuing through the meticulous pre-planning and follow-up assistance provided by Said, and extending to the trip itself, thanks to our knowledgeable and amiable tour guides, Faisal and Hannan. We chose the "Luxury Morocco: Sahara Desert & Atlantic Coast" 15-day tour, and it was tailored to our specific preferences with utmost flexibility. Every aspect of our journey was open to adjustments, and the entire team ensured our comfort and satisfaction throughout. The accommodations, Riads, were all splendid 5-star Hotels, each presenting its unique charm, ensuring a high level of cleanliness, comfort, and Moroccan elegance. Choosing a favorite among them was an impossible task. The cost was not only reasonable but highly competitive. The culinary experiences in Morocco were nothing short of fantastic, with every meal, whether inside or outside our hotels, being a culinary delight. The additional activities and site visits were well-organized, and we were punctually delivered to each one. Our tour van was spacious enough to accommodate our large luggage, providing comfort, was relatively new, and strictly non-smoking with efficient air conditioning. Faisal served as our daily guide for the entire week, and we couldn't have wished for a better companion. He was the embodiment of professionalism, punctuality, knowledge, humor, and tidiness. We cherished our time spent with Faisal every day, placing our trust in his profound understanding of Morocco and feeling completely secure in every place we explored. Faisal's recommendations at every stop were invaluable, guiding us on what to do and what to avoid when we were uncertain. His presence was instrumental in making our journey truly unforgettable. Hannan, who accompanied us for a full day in Marrakesh, led us through the bustling Medina souks and treated us to an enchanting evening food tour. She too exhibited extensive knowledge, professionalism, and a warm demeanor. We greatly appreciated her insights into the local markets and the additional time she devoted to showing us hidden gems and preferred shops. For anyone seeking to explore the full spectrum of what Morocco has to offer, we wholeheartedly endorse Trek Desert Maroc and the "Taste of Morocco" tour. If you have the opportunity to collaborate with Said, Faisal, and Hannan, rest assured that your journey will be nothing short of splendid. Our heartfelt thanks go out to them for crafting an indelible experience on our vacation. We already miss the warm-hearted people and delectable cuisine of Morocco. Without a doubt, we would eagerly book this tour again, as it was truly fabulous, and we are even considering future adventures with Trek Desert Maroc to other destinations.

Our Morocco trip was very well planned. Our driver Medhi was very genuine and nice to talk to. Everyday was unique and fun. Our kids had an amazing time too. I highly recommend this company. Thanks for all your effort.

Morocco was a dream-come-true vacation for me. I cannot thank Charlie the Traveler and his local contacts (Medhi, my travel concierge, & co.) enough—it went beyond my expectations and was really superb. The riads and hotels were gorgeous, the meals delicious, and all of my guides and drivers worked to meet my needs and tailor the experience so it was memorable. I was a little nervous because I was traveling alone and everything was new to me, but I was provided first-class hospitality and in good hands every step of the way. There was a good variety of sightseeing and activities on this tour. As for souvenirs, so many great finds that I left clothes behind to make room in my suitcases. The desert camp was fun and the sky was amazing—my whole life, I have never seen the cosmos light up like that—and watching the sun rise over the Sahara was magical. I was paired with guides who were local to their cities, which was a nice touch, and each day was enriching and educational. Seeing the architecture & the artisans at work were just some aspects to Maroc where it’s this blend of old and new you should see yourself to truly appreciate. Even on day trips, I got to see so many different parts of the country, every visual along the road was a treat. The cooking class was outside my comfort zone, but I showed up and the host family was so kind and gracious—everyone was like this in Morocco. Each day I thought was the high point, it turned out there was more to come. Excellent value, great adventure, stunning visuals. Charlie & co. always made themselves available to smooth out any inevitable bumps in the road you encounter while traveling. I highly recommend. J’adore le Maroc!

Thanks, my friend !!! I Will never forget this experience. You and your brother are really professional!! I learned many things about your culture and your country. Thanks for helping me to discover The amazing life in the desert

The whole reason I did not travel much was because of the stress it usually caused. I can never actually enjoy my trip. However, my brother took a tour with CharlieTheTraveler and recommended them. I was pleased to find out that I did not experience any of the normal stress of traveling—instead, the company had planned and organized almost everything for my trip to Morocco. I wasn’t familiar with the country, but that made no difference as the tour guide provided was an expert. I felt safe while going on each daytrip. The mosques we visited were my favorite, as that was unlike anything I have where I live.
