We stayed one night with Mohammed in Hassi Labied and another night in the Merzouga camp in the desert he organized for us. We arrived to the village around 19h, after a very long drive from Fès. Mohammed warmly received us and let us park the car in his garage. He then showed us to the room and gave us a little bit of privacy to settle down and accommodate ourselves. About 20-30 minutes later he picked us up and took us to his berber family house, where her sister had prepared a delicious couscous and tuna pizza, which we all shared along with the "berber whiskey".
The next day we had a very nice and complete breakfast, including toasts, omelette, honey and marmalade, pastries, orange juice, tea and coffee. We then went for a walk around the village and hiked a little bit into the desert and the gardens in front of it.
