  morroco was inspired to me by Ibn Batutta and also my childhood storybooks of moors and berbers. Been dreaming to see morroco since my uni time, and alhamdulillah i was given a chance this year. I contacted DesertBrise Travel after my research in tripadvisor as per many of my previous travels. I chose this company due to its simplicity and straightforwardness of a small berber family business. My experience engaging small family business tour guides are the best due to their professionalism and attentiveness to your need. And alhamdulillah i was happy that i made the right decision again, as this travel tour has been very good and made my trip to morroco among the best.. we began at Casablanca where Khalil picked us up at airport. our first impression of khalil was a bit off as we thought he is very serious and strict but having going along in the together for 15 days we can see he is full with knowledge and open minded. We have short encounter in Casablanca visiting the Hassan 2 mosque and it was great preview and blessing of morocco to us. we continue to Rabat and stayed overnite at very nice and clean Riad. Breakfast was excellent and it been always like in all accommodation booked by them. We continue to Chafchaouen, the blue city, amazing place. Again the selection of hotel was superb, an old scholar house with traditional jewish culture touch. We only have Said ,the driver for the trip but this is suffice since he speaks excellent english and guided us well on each places that we visisted. We are very ok with this arrangement because we love the space given to us to venture on our own without the guide in some places, being able to communicate with locals and get lost in our ventures, but yet still under good care and advise from khalil. We continue to Fes, another fantastic encounter to Morroco culture and history. Walking in fez we were guided by young chap holding four bachelor degree! It was awesome, we exchange many views and discussion over Morroco landscapes, politic, history, while losing ourselves in medina. We continue to Merzouga.. desert stay for two night. It was hot but worth a lifetime of experience. Can't say how remarkable and stellar moment of the camel ride and berber tent in middle of sahara entertained by the drummers with golden voice over starry sky. Next day we managed to ride ATV , visited nomad family, attended gnawa music show, and a great lunch. Credit to Khalil who brilliantly adjusted the itenaries to suit our endurance of Sahara hot weather. We crossed atlas mountain to marrakesh where we had few stops including fossil valley, ourzapzate kasbah, the Tondra Gorge and local market. Finally we arrived in Marrakesh , and again we were given a guide to walk around the medina . Overall the itenaries really suits our taste of culture, people, food, adventure, history and shopping of course! it was well planned and i really happy with DesertBrise Travel of the good job done on it. I was made to understand, and i can see that not many Malaysian and asian in general visited morroco, which made me feel so privileged to drop my review here with a welcome note and encouragement to my fellow Malaysian to come and venture magistic culture and landscape of morroco, and of course do it with this tour company.. We had a fantastic time and we would like to thankkhalil for a great job attaining to our needs, especially our little dotter.. We are spoilt tourist and sometime we did things that are off- tangent from tour itenaries but we were glad Hamid have great patience on us for almost 15 days together. Maa salamah and really hope to see Morroco again.
