A delightful destination. Our second visit to Morocco, this time to Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains.
Highly recommend the place to anyone who hasn't been...its great for birding and I would love to go back some time for a pure birding trip, but its a grand destination full of friendly people....so....in no particular order and my small bird list at the end....
