Guided trip
Hey everyone! My name is Safae, you can call me Safcha or Clear, which is a translation of my name. I turned 25 recently and thought it was time to bring about some change in my usual introverted indoor setting, routine, and well-being and fulfill my long-time desire to travel, all whilst getting to know new people. This is my first Trip on JoinMyTrip, and I am co-leading it with my friend Fayza, who is also a TripLeader on the platform. What's the plan? We will start our rite of passage to serenity from Ouarzazate, specifically Ait Benhaddou, in which we will spend one night. On our way to Merzouga using a rental car we will stop for a traditional Moroccan lunch in a small Berber town called Taghia, We will then head to Arfoud Market which is known for dattes, fresh spices, and Jewelries. We will arrive at Merzouga in time to catch a firey sunset. The next day will be filled with activities that vary from attending a Gnawa music setting to visiting Ancient villages, to camel rides. Accommodations: Day 1: Hotel Day 2: Tent hotel (All utilities included, Breakfast and Dinner included) Food: Purely traditional food Entertainment: Sahrawi music around a campfire Please note that the only separate cost is food besides the one included in the hotel. What is included in the price? - Accommodation (Shared room) - Transportation (Car rental) - 4x4 Vehicle Tour - Gnawa Music Show - Local Guide I hope we enjoy each other's company and stay awesome!
