Pleasant hike and... - Pleasant and relaxing excursion. The driver of the caravan is a boy (. 24 years) simple, humble and shrewd. Unpretentiously, he carries out his duties with passion. Even a small tip (this was not the case) is greeted with a dazzling smile.

Clay city - We liked everything. The guide was a polyglot and spoke French, English, and even Italian perfectly. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time for the cinema Museum, so we will probably have to go back again.

Excellent panorama!!! - From Marrakech the road is long, but what a beautiful spectacle, grandiose decor. Lunch leaves something to be desired, where we are forced to have a restaurant (factory) to share with the group members. Little free time, for single visits or shopping.
