What travel agencies have been best for Morocco? Has it worked to contact riads directly, based on info from trip advisor?
In Fes, we are looking at Dar Anebar or Riad Myra. In Marrakesh, we are looking at Riad Le Clos des Arts or El Mansour.
Does anyone have a hotel to recommend in Azrou and in Ouarzazate?
And is the trip to Essouria recommended in December? If so, where have you stayed?

Thank you. This is helpful. You sound like you know Morocco well, yes? Have you stayed at either of the places in Fes or Morocco? We are interested in Azrou as we will be visiting people in Ifrane and didn't want to head back up to Fes after our visit with them. We will be staying with people in Tinjdad following our visit in Ifrane. From Tinjdad, we hope to take in a trip to Merzouga for an overnight and then on to Todra Gorge.
From your descriptions, you sound like we should be fine making reservations ourselves rather than using a travel agent who knows Morocco. Have you typically handled it yourself in Morocco?
Also, thank you for the info on Essouria as perhaps we omit it on this trip.

I am going to Morocco in December as well--traveling with my family of 4. Does anyone have thoughts on renting a car to drive from Marrakech to Merzouga to Fez. Would it be foolish to brave this in the winter?
Thanks for your help!
