Travelicious Review
I took the trip to Morocco with the intent to escape the January unbearable coldness in Canada and also with a desire to learn some islamic culture in a muslim country with long history. This 12 Days Morocco trip definitely has accomplished both goals. My wife and I visited all four imperial cities in Morocco seeing numerous elegantly built muslim mosques. While travelling in the country, We constantly heard the calls for pray from the miarets. Witnessing the people 's devotion to their religious beliefs, this really impressed me a lot. Our highlight of the trip was unquestionably Sahara desert tour. We took the Camel ride to the camp site which was 100 times more enjoyable than driving my Mercedes . I have never seen so many stars so clearly while staying in the campsite. We saw the sunrise and sunset during our two days stays in Sahara desert. I have fulfilled one of my dreams by being in Sahara. "Water is life" as what locals always told me. I appreciate how luck We are here in Canada with abundant supply of water. Mr. Moha our tour guide has arranged this 12 days trip in great details which made this journey so smoothly and easy since We have traveled so extensively and covered a large portion of the landmass in Morocco. Mr. Moha gave us very good presentations about the histories in Morocco and north Africa as general which enabled us to understand a lot more about the cultural and religious related subjects. I highly recommend him to anyone who are interested a trip in Morocco without any reservation. Thank you Trails Of Morocco for all the arrangements. From the walking tour in the Médina to beautiful sunrise/sunset in the Sahara desert. We would highly recommend Trails of Morocco to anyone who is looking for a great way to know about the history, culture and local cuisine about Morocco.
