Sorry I missed your comment, Janet from Arlington. Expat blog didn't inform me of it. I hope you had a great trip a year ago and that you left with many happy memories of Morocco!

Hello, We are two retired American woman who will be traveling to Morocco in early May. From Fez we will be going to Merzouga to spend a couple of days in the dunes, etc. Is it possible to get a Grand Taxi from Fez to Erfoud/Merzouga? Is this easy to do/the best way to travel between these two cities? Also, from Merzouga, we had thought about hiring a driver for a couple of days for our trip from Merzouga to Marrakech. Can this be arranged when we get to Merzouga? Any information you can provide will be appreciated! Congratulations on your move to Essaouira. We look forward to visiting there at the end of our trip.
