    Our tour of southern Morocco with Mokhtar as our guide was extraordinary. Visits to villages, two nights in the desert, visits to various workshops (pottery, carpets....) always in good spirits. Mokhtar answered all our questions with great intelligence. He knows Morocco like the back of his hand, and took us to some unlikely places. We highly recommend travelling with him.
