We had a wonderful time in Morocco! It is hard to pick out highlights but the Dunes Camp at ERG CHEBBI certainly stands out. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and chats with Mohammed the host. The camel ride at dusk was a hit and the stay was certainly worth the extra money; we would all highly recommend it. The other standout for all of us, was ABDUL our driver/guide and we cannot speak too highly of him. He went out of his way to accommodate us (stopping for photos of storks and nests and more storks and nests, and even looking for flamingoes!) We enjoyed intelligent conversations; shared a similar sense of humour, having lots of laughs seeing the funny side of things; and could relax with his driving. He was thoughtful, able to anticipate situations and was respectful, not just to us but also to locals when passing through towns and villages. In our opinion he is the consummate guide, and proved a hard act to follow! Please pass on our thanks to him, as we know he helped make the week together wonderful. Our accommodation was great- we loved the ambience created by the restored riads, the warm and friendly welcomes and the traditional mint tea and sweets served on arrival. I mentioned the dunes camp, but we also loved SKOURA oasis. In particular I enjoyed walking about by myself with my camera - the light at dusk just beautiful. Les Jardins de Skoura itself, as well as the setting, picture perfect. The Medinas were interesting but frenetic. Essaouira was very different and I would probably stay a few more days if returning. Palm Valley at Tafraoute was amazing. Our only criticism, if you could call it that, is that there was too much food. All of us absolutely loved the food, but felt we were wasting it as we simply could not eat it all!! So, a wonderful holiday! We loved the scenery, and the variety of scenery (some of which reminded us of parts of Australia); met some interesting and friendly people; savoured the wonderful food; relished the sights, colour and sounds( apart from the motor bikes roaring past!) and activity of the medinas. Thank you for helping to make this a great holiday. Corresponding with you was so easy, and you always responded promptly , answering any queries I had. The only problem is that it has left us with a taste for more!!
