Amazing! The animals appeared well cared for which was something I find particularly important. Mustafa was a wonderful guide, he has an interesting way with the camels, and it was nice to see them being treated well. He also had great knowledge about the camels, and brilliant photography skills! Thank you!

Beautiful drive through the Atlas with views so gorgeous. Essaouira is a small nice town with beautiful old Portuguese buildings. A very nice beach with great restaurants on the promenade. I can highly recommend you.
