Long day trip on mountain roads. - We enjoyed the walking tour through Ait Ben Haddou.
The lunch was ok.
The next stop, the Hollywood of Morocco, was a bit less interesting.
Every guide expects a tip. All guides lead you through the stores and cooperatives of their choice with high pressure sales techniques. So be ready. They expect payment for all photos taken of people.
The transportation logistics was very confusing. We were shuttled from van to bus. Many of the mountain roads are in bad shape so it’s quite a bumpy ride. We got back at 8:30 pm!
