She highlights that Mohammed adapted the itinerary and the accommodation to a family member's health, and that Said, their guide, was the best part of the trip: patient, fun and full of knowledge of places off the tourist track.

Destinations and attractions
A short guide to every place you will visit on this tour.
Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and economic engine. Its great symbol is the Hassan II Mosque, built partly over the Atlantic Ocean, with a minaret of about 210 metres, one of the tallest in the world; the Corniche and the city's Art Deco buildings complete the visit.
Founded at the end of the 8th century, Fes is the oldest of Morocco's imperial cities, and its medina, Fes el-Bali, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world. Wander its alleys to the Chouara tannery, the Bou Inania and Attarine madrasas and the Al Qarawiyyin mosque-university, founded in 859.
The “Red City” was founded by the Almoravids in the 11th century and its medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its heart is Jemaa el-Fna square, alive with storytellers, musicians and food stalls at dusk. Don't miss the Koutoubia minaret, the souks, the Bahia Palace and the Majorelle Garden.
This Atlantic port town, whose walled medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its cannon-lined ramparts, its harbour of blue fishing boats and the wind that draws surfers. Its relaxed atmosphere, Gnaoua music and the region's argan oil make it unique.
