The Atlas Mountains trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding. The natural scenery was stunning, and our guide was supportive and encouraging throughout.
Each meal was a culinary adventure! Loved the cooking class in Fes, where we learned to make traditional dishes. The food tour was a highlight.
