We were picked up right on time by our driver (Aissa, really cool dude). During the trip, he kept giving us information about the places we were seeing and also made some stops for photos and more info. Kasbah was an awesome place with great view and great history. But the most amazing part was that for lunch Aissa took us to a local house where we were welcomed and they treated us to their own delicious food. There we also met Mohammed (Aissa’s boss and the coolest of dudes).1000% recommend it
