My husband and I had an amazing trip in large part to Hicham! He picked us up in Fez and drove us to the desert. We were in the desert for three nights then a night in Ait Ben Haddou on the way to Marrakech. Hicham was a great driver and guide made sure we were comfortable, safe, and only stopped at clean restrooms. His car was very comfortable and made it easy for my husband and me to shop freely knowing we had a van to keep things in. While we were on the road, Hicham made sure we ate at local places whenever possible and told us as to who was selling good stuff and who wasn’t. Hicham is very knowledgeable about his country, we traveled with a guidebook and he was happy to show us any place we wanted but was also happy to suggest places/activities anywhere our planning fell short. We came to feel like Hicham was family and we cannot recommend him enough.It was an amazing trip with Fez CULTURE TOURS around Morocco, the sahara was such a dreamy place... So many wonderful memories. Hicham(the driver) made us fall in love with his Country, he was concerned about our safety and comfort. Many thanks to everyone in FES CULTRE TOURS who made our trip j...
