The journey was very long but it was well worth it! The views through the mountains were amazing and we loved the tour of the film studio and Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou! The extra special element of the trip was our driver and guide who allowed for plenty of comfort breaks and even offered us water! Abdelhak Hadek was a very safe driver - thank you Abdel, you are No. 1 driver in Morocco!
