Morocco sits at the convergence of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, just across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain.
It also has a crossroads climate, from the beach to the desert to the mountains, with the highest peak reaching nearly 13,700 feet high.
This mix of geography has shaped its history as a cultural melting pot, influenced by Berbers, Arabs, Moors, and European powers over centuries.
The Islamic dynasty began in the 7th century, blending Arabic culture with indigenous traditions.
It became a French and Spanish protectorate in 1912, gaining independence in 1956.
Morocco’s charm lies in its contrasts: modern cities alongside centuries-old villages, packed souks (markets) connect vast expanses of rural land, and modern amenities mixed with ancient medinas (towns).
The most popular regions in Morocco for tourists are:
Marrakech-Safi
This region draws the most visitors, thanks to Marrakech’s lively souks, palaces, and Jemaa el-Fna square.
Nearby, the High Atlas Mountains provide incredible trekking opportunities, while coastal Essaouira offers a laid-back escape.
Fès-Meknès
Tourists flock to the Fes medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for its historic mosques, madrasas, and tanneries.
Meknes, with its imperial history, and the nearby Roman ruins of Volubilis, add to the region’s allure.
Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima
Northern Morocco is popular for Tangier’s Mediterranean charm and Chefchaouen’s striking blue-washed streets.
The Rif Mountains attract hikers, while the coastal city of Al Hoceima offers a quieter seaside experience.
Drâa-Tafilalet
The Sahara Desert in this region is a major highlight, with camel treks and luxury camps in the Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga dunes.
Ouarzazate and Aït Benhaddou also attract film buffs and history lovers.
Rabat-Salé-Kénitra
Morocco’s capital region, though quieter, appeals to those interested in history and culture, with landmarks like the Hassan Tower, Chellah ruins, and the Kasbah of the Udayas.
Casablanca-Settat
Casablanca’s cosmopolitan vibe and the iconic Hassan II Mosque make it a key stop for many visitors, though often as a gateway to other regions.
The country has inspired some of the best entertainment in the modern age, from Casablanca to Lawrence of Arabia to Game of Thrones.
Also, Sex & the City fans might like to know that the second movie was partially shot in Marrakech, Morocco, even though it was purported to be in the UAE.
The reality is that Morocco is far from a Hollywood movie, so let’s explore safety advice to maximize your time there.
Advertencias y Peligros en Morocco
RIESGO GENERAL: MEDIO
Morocco has a medium risk for several reasons, but not a risk that should make you reconsider a visit. There are some potentially upsetting trends you just need to know about before firming up travel plans. The benefits certainly outweigh the risks.
RIESGO EN TAXIS Y TRANSPORTE: BAJO
Transportation in Morocco includes efficient trains connecting major cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, and Fes, plus affordable buses for longer routes. Grand taxis (shared) and petit taxis (local) are common, but research common scams or ways drivers overcharge for rides. Renting a car is ideal for exploring rural areas, but be prepared for aggressive drivers and winding mountain roads, depending on where you visit. You can also hire a tour guide to handle all the driving for you.
RIESGO DE CARTERISTAS: MEDIO
Pickpocketing can be a concern in crowded areas like markets, medinas, and public transportation in Morocco. Keep valuables secure, use anti-theft bags, and remain aware of your surroundings to minimize risks and enjoy your trip safely. Given how aggressive people can be in crowded areas, consider this a medium risk.
RIESGO DE DESASTRES NATURALES: BAJO
Natural disaster risks in Morocco are generally low but include occasional earthquakes, particularly in the northern regions, and seasonal flash flooding during heavy rains, especially in mountainous and desert areas.
RIESGO DE ASALTO: BAJO
You can keep the risk low if you avoid being out after dark alone and stay highly vigilant during the daytime. Lower the risk also by not wearing expensive jewelry or flaunting fancy cameras.
RIESGO DE TERRORISMO: MEDIO
The United States State Department calls it an elevated risk due to terrorism, but Canada and the UK call it a high risk. Travelers should stay vigilant, avoid political gatherings, and monitor travel advisories for updates.
RIESGO DE ESTAFA: MEDIO
This is a medium risk, and you should be prepared that anyone who approaches you is trying to get your money - one way or another. Through aggressive sales tactics or threatening demeanor, vendors pressure people to buy things. Even if a vendor lets you pet their chained monkey, they will expect a "donation" for that. Watch out for people trying to skim your credit card info and limit this by getting an RFID protective sleeve over your credit card.
RIESGO PARA MUJERES VIAJERAS: MEDIO
This is another medium risk, mostly due to the ongoing reports of women being groped or harassed, even in tourist areas. The busy markets can be another place where women are treated poorly. The best way to limit unwanted attention is to dress like a local. That means modest clothing that covers the arms, the neckline, knees, and everything in between.
RIESGO DE BEBER AGUA DE GRIFO: BAJO
Tap water in Morocco is generally safe for locals in urban areas, as it meets national standards, but tourists are often advised to avoid drinking it. Differences in water treatment and local microbes might upset unaccustomed stomachs. Bottled water is widely available and a safer choice for visitors.

The country’s tourism website is visitmorocco.com, and you can choose your language for ease of use.
I also want to point you to a helpful section under the Travel Info menu heading. Scroll down to «Moroccan National Tourist Office» and look for the contact in your home country.
Using that contact, you can weed out unscrupulous tour guides and find ones that are legit and worth the money.
There is enough to see and do here to accommodate budget-friendly vacations as well as the most luxurious tours and lodging.
Marrakesh is known for its bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where you’ll find street performers, food vendors, and an energetic market.
Nearby, the Majorelle Garden offers a peaceful retreat filled with bright blue buildings and exotic plants.
Head to Fez, a city famous for its medieval charm and the Fes el-Bali medina.
This ancient part of town feels like stepping back in time, with its narrow, maze-like streets, traditional tanneries, and historic mosques.
Fez is also known for its thermal spas, giving much-needed relief from an exhaustive vacation, especially if you’ve navigated the busy markets.
This is also where Al-Qarawiyyin, the world’s oldest continually operating university, is located.
The Sahara Desert offers breathtaking scenery.
Join a guided camel trek to watch the sun set over the golden dunes of Merzouga, or spend a night in a traditional desert camp under the stars.
The coastal city of Essaouira offers a relaxed vibe with its sandy beaches, windsurfing, and fresh seafood.
Its charming medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with local artisans selling handcrafted goods.
Chefchaouen, the “Blue City,” is one of the most photogenic places in Morocco, which is tucked into the Rif Mountains.
Its streets and buildings are painted in vivid shades of blue.
Finally, visit Casablanca for a more modern feel.
While it’s Morocco’s economic hub, the Hassan II Mosque stands out with its stunning architecture and oceanfront location, open for guided tours.
In Tangier, explore the historic Kasbah Museum and its views of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Then, wander the vibrant medina, with its winding streets, markets, and cafés.
Don’t miss the Caves of Hercules, a scenic coastal spot steeped in local myths.

You can also explore shorter cruise options.
Lugares a Evitar en Morocco
Visiting Morocco isn’t for the faint of heart or introverted.
I reviewed the UK, Canadian, and American guidelines for visiting and places to avoid while also researching some social forums.
Here’s what you need to know.
The United States State Department says that crime is a «serious concern,» especially in large cities and tourist regions.
While advice is generally about personal safety steps, it is recommended to avoid soccer stadiums and watch parties due to potentially aggressive crowds.
It is also advised to avoid city buses and only use petit taxis to get around, especially at night.
Canadian authorities get a little more specific, advising there is a «high degree of caution» required, and the Western Sahara border (especially The Berm) and Algerian border are places to avoid in Morocco.
The United Kingdom’s advice supports those statements, adding that you should avoid crossing the border with Algeria by land or water.
Even accidentally boating across the border is considered illegal.
I also want to add that you should strongly consider how much you want to visit certain markets based on reports of harassment, groping, aggressive sales tactics, and even threatening demeanor if you don’t buy something from a vendor.
Based on some of my experiences in Mexico and New Orleans, I know I’m not a good candidate for those high-pressure sales tactics.
However, some people find it part of the authentic experience.
Only you know what is right for you.
Tips de Seguridad para Viajar a Morocco
- Morocco has both a national police force and local-level law enforcement, but the system is primarily centralized. The Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale (DGSN) provides national law enforcement in urban areas. The Gendarmerie Royale is the military police force for rural areas.
- Check with your country’s embassy before or when you arrive to know where it’s located and how to get there in the event of a terror attack or a disaster. US travelers should enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free service provided by the U.S. Department of State. You’ll get emergency alerts during your trip if something happens.
- Avoid visiting Morocco alone, especially if you’re a woman. Due to the risks of harassment and crime, you don’t want to get caught in a dangerous situation with no help nearby.
- The same advice applies to the mountains, where the winding roads can be dangerous, especially after dark. Hike in groups and be sure you have updated maps. Don’t tackle a hike that is beyond your skill level.
- Since you can only get currency when you get to Morocco, use extra caution at ATMs. Stick to ATMs or official currency exchange services. Using unofficial money changers can be risky and may result in counterfeit notes.
- Check for license requirements for activities like diving, fishing, or boating. Usually, fishing from the shore doesn’t require a permit. Diving might require proof of certification.
- Morocco is a conservative country. Dressing modestly, especially in rural areas, shows respect for local customs and helps avoid unwanted attention. Also, looking like a «local» will limit how much vendors might try to take advantage of tourists.
- If you try to get a photo, for example, with a cobra snake or pet a monkey at a vendor, they’ll expect you to pay for that. Even accepting a free sample of food or drink could put you on the hook for some form of payment.
- Don’t enter empty shops. Too many reports of people being banned from leaving until they purchase something have been made to risk it. If you do face a situation like this, please report it to the local police and your embassy.
- Avoid displays of affection, as it is culturally frowned upon. LGBTQ+ couples should also read the warnings and guidance from their government, as homosexuality is considered «illegal» in Morocco.
Entonces… ¿Qué tan Seguro es Realmente Morocco?
Morocco isn’t super transparent about crime rates, but we know enough from government advisories, news headlines, and visitor feedback that it’s not the safest place to visit.
At the same time, many countries argue that places like the U.S. and the U.K. exaggerate the risks in their general advisories.
Morocco is as safe as the respect you bring to its rhythm of life.
It’s a vibrant, sensory feast but one that requires a certain finesse to navigate.
Adapting to the culture is key: dress modestly, learn basic phrases in French or Arabic, and keep public displays of affection to a minimum.
Petty theft can happen, especially in crowded souks and medinas, so secure your valuables and stay alert.
Scams, like overly pushy guides or inflated prices, are common but manageable with polite firmness.
For novice travelers, the chaos of winding medinas, the noise, and the unfamiliar customs can feel overwhelming.
Morocco rewards those with patience and a sense of adventure, but it’s not a «set it and forget it» destination.
Dive in with open eyes and an adaptable spirit, and you’ll find safety in understanding its rhythm—and its people will welcome you for it.
Morocco is also dedicated to being a premier tourist destination.
If you encounter any threat, crime, or scam, report it immediately to the local police and your embassy.
This isn’t a country where the authorities will turn a blind eye, especially in the tourism-driven areas.

Información Útil
Visados
Most travelers can visit Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days, including citizens of the U.S., Canada, the EU, and the UK. Others may need a visa, which must be obtained from Moroccan consulates. A passport valid for six months beyond your stay is required.
Moneda
Morocco uses the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). It’s a closed currency, meaning you can only exchange money within Morocco. ATMs are widely available in cities, and credit cards are accepted in many places. One U.S. dollar equals roughly 10 Dirhams.
Clima
Morocco’s climate varies. Coastal areas, like Casablanca, average 18–25°C (64–77°F) year-round. The interior, like Marrakech, reaches 40°C (104°F) in summer and can drop to 5°C (41°F) in winter. The Atlas Mountains experience snow, while the Sahara is extremely dry.
Aeropuertos
Major airports include Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) in Casablanca, the country’s largest, and Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK). Rabat, Tangier, and Agadir also have international airports with frequent flights connecting Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Seguro de Viaje
Travel insurance isn’t mandatory for entry, but we highly recommend it. Policies covering medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and theft can save you money and trouble. Some activities might require specific coverage for high-risk adventures.

I adore the Morocan cuisine!
Too bad Morocco is getting a bad rep from some people. It’s such a beautiful country and while it does have its share of problems, I generally felt safe there. I would visit it anytime. I absolutely adore the Moroccan cuisine!
Thanks Rebecca. My wife & I live in the Spanish province of Málaga. Some days we can see Morocco. My Spanish wife was brought up and educated in Tangiers and thus is fluent in French. In our opinion Morocco is a great country to visit. Many people speak English, more speak Spanish and even more speak French. If you happen to be in Spain or are visiting Spain do yourself a favor and visit Tangiers. It’s really worthwhile even if you go there and back in one day from Southern Spain. Talk to a travel agent about it. Most travel agents in Spain have some staff who speak English.
I wouldn’t go again
Avoid Morocco.
im Moroccan what is your excuse?
I agree with you, having travelled by car to Morocco on numerous occasions, it is a beautiful country, the people are very welcoming & helpful. Yes you do need to be on your guard in some areas as with any other country in the world. I miss going to Morocco, not having been for a few years due to having many dogs! Given the opportunity I would be there tomorrow
Like the people
Someone did try to mug me when I was there but hey, I’m from New York, so I’m used to it :)). It wasn’t a scary situation, the mugger just tried to steal my phone but didn’t manage to. I like the people there and I will be going back.
I love the sense of humour and glad you don’t hold the grudge, as bad things can happen.
I love the country. I also had a small problem with a local guy trying to get us to pay him after he voluntarily gave us advice without us asking for it. Aside from that minor incident, the trip was awesome and can’t wait to visit again!
salam labss hamduillah my trip to Morocco was amazing and beautiful the people were so kind and gentle and very helpful I love the people I was amazed at how the animals run free and not caged up a food was amazing there was nothing I didn’t love about morocco if I could I would move there an stay the water was amazing to swim in so many things I could say about Morocco that’s positive nothing negative inshallah.
I loved it too!!!
Beware of Con-Artist Hamza Rhani
I was the victim of a con-artist who did what you describe here, befriending me and helping me travel and visiting different cities with me. I really thought that he was a great guy and then he ende dup stealing 7000 euros from me. His name is Hamza Rhani, he tells people he is Rhani. I disocvered he is prolific con artist and that he has done this to many others. In fact I have spoken to others he has done this to as well. When my friend realised that he was doing, he tried to drown her. Please people, be careful.
Don’t go with strangers
I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience. Please don’t hold the entire country responsible for one man. The US has plenty of scammers but most of us don’t want to move. I advise you to use a legitimate tour company like Globus instead of a stranger. You’re lucky to be alive after taking a risk like that.
this happends a lot, they pretend to be sooooo friendly and they are not. they are the best scammers ever!!!! great actors. watch out!!!!! especially female travelers
morocco is the best place to visit ,people food culture, there is every thing you need ,scumbags and crimes are all over the world ,where ever we come from can be worst ,i find morocco as the best place i visited ,i will keep going there it is save just take time .
Obtrusive and manipulative people!
You’re right, scumbags can be everywhere….but in some places (like Morocco) there is a much higher concentration of them.
NOT SO!!!
There are more ‘scumbags’ in Spain where I’ve lived with my Spanish wife since 1982 than there are in Morocco.
absolutely true. Morocco is a very dangerous country for women tourists. they do black magic on the women and then the women give everything that they have and end up with nothing. i’ve seen hundreds of women falling for this scam. they get married, give them a lot, then when the man gets everything he dumps her and she lost everything
«Best» is a little bit of too much to say about any country.
Amazing!
I visited several cities including Casablanca and Marrakech. In my opinion, the most dangerous thing about Morocco is crossing the street. It was terrifying but I’m proud that I completed that dare devil stunt. The things we’ll do to get to a restaurant. Morocco is a beautiful country. The food is delicious. The people are friendly. Plus, your dollars go a LONG way!
Marrakech is it safe?
hi i dont have a review but a question please. i’m thinking of taking my family of 4 (2 children) to Marrakech is it safe, the begging doesn’t worry us. i’m guessing during the day its ok rather than night time to be walking the streets. its sounds an amazing place to visit. were thinking end of may next year any ideas how warm it’ll be? and one final question our child will be 11&13 is there much for them to see to be interested in? (ideas on places to visit). i hoping the culture of such a historical city will be very educational for them both and for us.
regards
Marrakech is pretty safe, police are everywhere there. There is even a specific police for tourists is touristic places. Marrakech is probably safer than Paris.
Violent Bunch
You wanna know why Paris is less safe (these days)? Because all of those people from countries like Morocco come to France (and other parts of Europe) and bring aggression and violence with them.
Grim
I concur. I had the misfortune of having to drive through London recently. The demographic makeup made it look like a third-world hellhole, and I witnessed acts of criminality, including violence. The place stunk like it looked…grim.
London is Great!
Really? Been to London multiple times past few years, love it, looks great, so much to do and see, travelled all over by foot and on the tube – not 1 instance of trouble or feeling any kind of unease. Unlike here in the «land of the free», where no where is safe.
You’re right I’m from there and most people are violent. Well even 99% doesn’t mean all but I understand your anger
Its less safe because police are shit.
You gotta be more rational a lil bit, thats why police are here for to keep the countries safe.
They have to change some laws and be more competent.
I loved it
I spent a month there with another female friend in Dec 2018 and absolutely loved it. I do have to say as an older woman its much easier to move around and avoid the male harassment. Went from Tangier to Chefchouen to the desert towns in Sahara to Fez, Casablanca and Marakech. Fabulous experience all around and am so grateful to have those memories given the craziness now.
Not safe
I would not recommend going there. it doesn’t feel safe at all being there.
Yes. Thats a rat hole. I never go again.
I love Morocco!
Morocco has so much to offer! Please try to give it a chance! Don’t get scared of the Safety index this site has given it. While I agree that there are thieves and pickpockets that will try to steal your phone or anything else they can easily get their hands on, this doesn’t happen all that often. And yes, you can encounter scammers that will first try to gain your confidence and will not do anything for a few days. When/if they get your trust they will try to steal your belongings, money, phone, etc. So, just try to be on guard and don’t give anyone access to your personal things.
Other than this, I didn’t personally hear or experience anything bad while in Morocco. This country can be magical if you know where to go and what to visit. Here are just a few places I would recommend you visit if you have the time for it:
Marrakesh Medina is one of the most known places in Morocco. It’s always filled with this buzz and agitation in the good sense. The medina is like a maze and filled with shopkeepers. And there’s beautiful mountains in the background – just so beautiful.
Essaouira should be a must visit. It’s a wonderful seaside town which was once the greatest hippie hangout in Morocco. The city has a very important local art presence. You can surf, walk along the beach or do some sightseeing.
If you are into architecture or/and history then you should go to the Draa Valley. It’s a fascinating place to explore and has been used as a place to shoot many movies.
Chefchaouen is a town located on a hill and it is filled with blue buildings. This place is nice for a walk to admire the architecture, the colors, the mountain. It’s a very peaceful spot where you can relax or do some hiking or trekking.
I have been to Agadir twice and loved it. There were 15 of us the first time. We all went out at night and the only problem we had was little boys putting their hands up my friend’s skirt. We had a guide and he was brilliant. The restaurants were great at night.
The second time I went with my mum and she is dying to go back. They couldn’t do enough for us everyone was lovely. Looking forward to going back again.
A must see country
My husband and I visited Morocco 45 years ago and vowed we would go back. In a couple of months time we will be there. Generally the people are great and are happy to tell you of their country. Many children used to try and guess your nationality by your accents, it can be fun. But be aware of receiving a gift from the young ones, they expect a gift back. (usually money) Although we will be on an organized tour we are looking forward to the free time to see things that we missed before.
After visited this country, I understood why every moroccan taxi drivers in my country are notorious for scam and fraud. You can basically think that if you don’t look like Moroccan, people will try to cheat on you all the times. I barely say I had a bad trip at least if I had a good time but this country is not even worthy for 1 star.
Don’t go here alone as a woman
The risk factor for women is extremely high!!! I would never ever ever recommend a woman to solo travel in Morcco or even just with a group of only women. I’ve never had a worst experience than in Morcco, ESPECIALLY in the bigger more touristy citites. I just started in my hotel the last two days since it was so svart going out, I almost got kidnapped from a tack driver, men groping you and catcalling you… So so unsafe and disgusting. All women please be safe out there!!
Not safe
worst experience in a country. full of violent scammers and there is no police to be seen. I do not recommend
Amazing land, people and savoir vivre.
Morocco was once an Empire that extended from Andalucia to way down around today’s Senegal. It has a rich history that goes back thousands of years. So many civilizations have been there. It’ has monuments that are a thousand years old if not more. Moroccan cuisine has Andalusian, Amazigh, Arab and Jewish influences. It is rich and diverse.
The Moroccan people are cultured peaceful and very generous and welcoming.
In fact a lot of French senior citizens have chosen Morocco as a place to retire. Morocco has a great infrastructure. Many international airports. The fastest High speed train in Africa. Most cities now have electric buses, tramways… Beside local eateries and restaurants you can find all the main chains like McDonald’s kfc Burger king Starbucks Chilli’s or TGI Fridays… There are banks and ATMs everywhere. A great mobile network coverage with different Carriers to choose from. There are great museums, world class hotels like La Mamounia ..major Hotel resorts like Amanresorts and chains like the Marriott..Hayat… Sheraton.. Four seasons..Movenpec..Fram..
Marrakech, Morocco was in the 1st place at Trip Advisor’s annual best place to visit..and recently number 7 in best cities in the world in the category of tourism. There are clubs with world renowned DJ’s.
A lot of Big names and famous celebrities and world leaders have chosen Morocco for their birthdays and vacations.
Supermarkets are everywhere with plenty of food local and imported. You can buy anything you typically find at a Target or a Walmart. There are plenty of clinics and doctors offices for a variety of specialties. There are many food venues and many fun things to do for all budgets and all age groups.. There are malls with all the big international brands..and of course there are Medinas and Bazars where can find all kinds of souvenirs.
Morocco is like any other country in the world there are some pickpockets and there are some people who are opportunistic and might charge a little more because they are used to haggling with their customers. But the majority of Moroccans are honest friendly and welcoming people that are eager to help and honored you came to visit their country. Most of the people there are genuine and want you to feel welcome and have a pleasant beautiful and memorable trip.
I don’t understand why some people here are unjustly taking a dump on a peaceful country and it’s people.. in fact I doubt if some of them really been to Morocco.
I live in the US. And I take my precautions when am outside at night in an empty street just like I would do in any other part of the world.
That’s my 2 cents!
I hope you all get a chance to visit Morocco at least once. Some people who visited Morocco and booked food tours and such with tour agencies enjoyed their trip and got to see more. The also highly recommend visiting Morocco.
Morocco is a wonderful destination with lovely people, places and a great topology. I recommened the atlantic sea side (cities: Essaouira, Agadir ..) and also the Sahara (Zagora, Marrakech).
Not what it seems
I am a woman who always travrlwith my mother and children. I try to be open minded and responsible to any country I visit by booking for tours through local businesses so local people would benefit from my cash but Morocco is the third North African country that we visited where my good will is taken advantage of. Kindness and respect is seen as weakness and we are as a family all getting weary of all of this. Local tour businesses always think you are stupid not to realise that they con you with what seem to be cheaper price but they cut out meals and shorten the time off from your package. They are not wise nor honourable and to us it’s very disappointing.
my experience in Morocco
To anyone coming to Morocco, I can only recommend doing this tour with Addi. We booked a 4 day trip to the desert and back to Marrakech. As we were planing on going to the rural areas and villages we were glad to have a local guide who knows the best spots and can inform us about the Moroccan traditions.
Addi is the best guide any touist can ask for. He is extremly helpful, warm hearted, organized and was always willing to tell us his personal experiences. This made the tour an absolute highlight. The hotels were all super and the camping in the desert was a memory we will never forget.
Morocco has definitely stolen our hearts
this is their business website: daysmoroccotours.com
watch out when you go there with those volunteer sites where you exchange work for a stay and food. those hosts are all looking for a woman to get married with and take them to the west or to give them money. and they will fool you. they are the best actors and manipulators
Morocco is safe
I have a wonderful trip with my friend during our stay in Morocco. For our desert excursion including different activities and visited many attractions. The hotels used were amazing and we really loved the overnight stay in the camp. The food was really tasty thanks to Mohamed and Said. I highly recommend this amazing experience!
