We recently went to Morocco and used the services of Hassan, who works for Vacations In Morocco. The trip was well organized, and we visited many places and sites, such as the Blue City, the Medina of Fes, and the Todra Gorges. The nights in the desert were unforgettable, and we had the opportunity to ride camels and take beautiful pictures of the sunset.
