Today we took part in this beautiful excursion to a really lovely town, on the sea, surrounded by walls, in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. All made even more enjoyable by the organization of Atlas Dreams, led today by the driver Hamid and the very nice guide Houssein. Chat and curiosity about the fantastic Morocco, a tea in company and at the end also a welcome gift. It felt like family. We will definitely recommend it to our friends in Italy. Thanks for everything and see you next time!
Grazie di cuore per le vostre splendide parole! 🌞 Siamo davvero felici che abbiate vissuto una giornata così piacevole con Hamid e Houssein. Il vostro calore e il vostro entusiasmo rendono anche per noi ogni escursione speciale. Speriamo di rivedervi presto in Marocco — un grande saluto dalla nostra famiglia alla vostra! 🇲🇦✨
we went there as a family with Hamid. He took his time to explain the culture of the places we visited. when we are there, we enjoy a very cheap and best seafood we ever had in Morroco. You can choose and buy the fish yourself from the market, then bring it to someone to clean it and finally ask a restaurant to grill it for you! The highlight of the trip is you can shop without haggling too much. We managed to get many items way cheaper than the market in Marrakesh. I would highly recommend this trip. You will not regret it!
Hamid is a lovely host. He picked us up right on time and have prepared water in the car at all time to ensure we are fully hydrated. He also provide us information on what to do in the city and even bought us tea and snacks along the way. Truly enjoy our experience and will highly recommend it!
