Someone returning just now from Morocco, told me that there is a meaty restaurant of OU in Marrakech.

More specific info would be appreciated.

Had to cancel a trip so didn’t ended up using him, but was planning on using a driver through Rafi Elmaleh (rafitour@yahoo.fr or +212 661-312673). Seems to have good reviews. I coordinated with him in WhatsApp.

Plan to take with my own food. Would you know of a trusted guide to show us around ? Thank you

The driver, suggested by Rafi Elmaleh is a muslim. I feel uneasy. Anyone had a driver to
suggest ? Planning now a trip. (without Schabbat).is it better to arrive in Casablanca or Marrakech. What's Fez like? Worth the 5 hours from Casablanca?

Morocco is a Muslim country, but are very friendly and tolerant towards Jews. If you’re uncomfortable being around Muslims you shouldn’t visit that country.
