Elizabeth, just found your trip report and it is so helpful on many levels. I’m tentatively planning a trip there next spring and I’ve already scaled down the itinerary to exclude Fes and your trip sort of confirmed this. I had been considering the northern desert experience but didn’t like the sounds of it for similar reasons to Yours. So now I’ll look at where you went with a fresh eye...but I did want to see the Dades Valley. Thanks for the driver, tour and flight references...they all sound good. And, what’s with the problem with posting photos? I too ran into this this week while posting a trip report. At first I could, then later nothing would upload. Is there a maximum per report? The ones you did post were wonderful.
