Our private driver from Casablanca to Fes was Khalid . We had a great time with him as he told us the history of places we passed by... read more and the culture of Morocco as well. The drive was very comfortable and Khalid is an excellent driver. We asked Khalid to give us a half day tour of Fez the next day and he drove us to all the important spots and gave us information on each one we visited. Our experience with Khalid was so good that we booked a day trip to Meknes the following day and asked him to take us to the airport on our last day in Fes. I would highly recommend requesting Khalidas your driver.

  We were picked up by our driver exactly on time. We stopped about 45 minutes outside of Fes for coffee which was much needed. The drive was about 4 hours... read more there, with one other restroom break. We stopped at the entrance to the city for a good panoramic photo. We had about 4 hours to explore Chefchaouen on our own. Then we met our driver at a designated location and he drove us back to Fes, arriving in time for dinner. Overall, very reliable and friendly driver. Decently priced for a full day of service. Very comfortable car. There is no tour in Chefchaouen provided, but with a guidebook or a little time spent on the internet, you'll know where to go. There is not that much to see. It's really just for wandering around. Very satisfied with the service!

  OMG, what an incredible, authentic experience cooking with Souad and her family.

We started by going to the market to pick out the fresh ingredients for our meal... read more of lamb tagine with apricots & prunes, homemade bread, Moroccan salad, a beet smoothie, and 4 traditional side dishes (aubergine, carrots, peppers, and sweet potatoes). The meat was definitely “fresh. ” Such a fun and colourful experience.

Next, Souad, took us to her mother & sister-in-law’s home in the ancient medina. Despite little or no English, they helped us chop, slice, peel, boil, cut, shred, grill, juice, knead, and pressure cook everything we needed for the next several hours. We used a lot of spices including cumin, tuneric, garlic, ginger, saffron, preserved lemons and the magical elixir called “44 spice” blend. I took lots of notes and photos since no English meant no written recipes - and our expert chefs measured more by experience & love, than cups or tablespoons.

We made some homemade bread, and when it had risen enough, we walked our tray of loaves through the market to the community oven to bake. So cool!

When the bread was ready we walked it home and enjoyed our feast. SO YUMMY and beautifully & artfully plated!!!!!

Such an amazing adventure and definitely a real slice of life of many Moroccan women’s daily life. Definitely a highlight of our 3 week stay in Morocco.
