A Moroccan Adventure

August 24, 2015

The Gastwirth Family (one adult and one teen age 16) traveled to Morocco during spring gastwirthmorocco2break for an exciting adventure.  The Family Traveler created a custom trip based on their interests, time and budget requests.  The trip began in Marrakesh with a private tour of the city’s Old Town, markets, royal tombs, mosques and more along with a dinner show. The trip moved onto the nearby High Atlas Mountains for visits to local villages and extensive hiking.  Some time on the coast in the fishing town of Essaouria included a visit to a local argan oil co-op and camel ride on the beach. The trip ended in Casablanca with guided city tour and a stop along the way in the picturesque town of Oualidia known for its oysters.  Hotels were all independent and authentic accommodations. The family really enjoyed the experience and took amazing photos.  They made some great friends along the way and said that their drivers were friendly and timely.  The experience left them with a unique look at Moroccan culture and history and the hope to return some day to visit their new Moroccan friends.  Andrew Gastwirth is an amazing photographer and we thank him for sharing these photos with us!
