Summary: As a solo traveler going to Morocco for the first time, the experience was AMAZING, especially with Hassan amiri as my guide Salah as our driver, they made the experience that much immersive.

Summary: Overall really amazing experience. Cover a massive distance to get there (and back) but wonderful to see so much of the country, the High Atlas pass is insane and Aït Benhaddou was fantastic. Tinghir was very nice and the Todga gorges were beautiful. The main event being the desert was once in a lifetime and had the most amount of fun in the Dunes. Hassan and our driver Salah were both fantastic, would 10/10 recommend.
