Akim, I really do not even know how to thank you! Our trip was a true experience of a lifetime from our pick up at the airport by our guide and throughout the guided and attended journey we had with Ibrahim. Just amazing. Your country is fascinating, the diversity of people, culinary, culture, and topography in such a small area is astounding. Around every corner, we became more and more enthralled with Morocco. One Riad was more beautiful and welcoming than the next. Then of course there was the charming and rustic Kasaba Omar. What a magnificent place to visit and spend quality time there. The warmth and hospitality that was shared with us could not have been more perfect… and what a view! Please feel free to have any of your future clients contact us if referrals needed. With warmest regards and my gratitude, Ms. Mater, USA / traveled – 2019 Dear Akim, We had a fantastic trip. So many diverse experiences and beautiful topography, great hosts, and hospitality. Everyone was very kind. All of the guides were very good. The desert and the Ourika valley experiences were very memorable at that charming Kasbah Omar in the middle of the Berber village. Thank you for arranging a great trip for our family and we hope to return to Morocco again. Pasha & family, Australia / Traveled – 2019
