November, 7 days in Morocco
Marrakech – Fez – Chefchaouen – Casablanca – Agafay Desert – Taghazout
Morocco – a sun-kissed destination and incredibly diverse. Sharing my experiences and adventures. Seven days filled with so many experiences, yet still leaving some adventures for the next time.
Marrakech
The market that never sleeps and is always bustling with activity. When it feels overwhelming, remember that once you return to your riad, you’ll experience such tranquility that the feeling of being overwhelmed will fade away.
Ozoud Waterfall
A truly impressive waterfall where you can also encounter friendly monkeys. Located more than a two-hour drive from Marrakech, this impressive waterfall can definitely be included in various excursion routes.
Chefchaouen
The blue city of the skies, with its beautiful, peaceful streets and more than fifty shades of blue. Magical.
Casablanca – Hassan II Mosque
An impressive mosque with part of it extending over the ocean. It showcases stunning Moroccan craftsmanship with its intricate marble and cedar woodwork.
Agafay Desert
Experiencing the silence in the middle of the desert and the feeling of being lost in nowhere is something I highly recommend. Cooling off in a pool in the middle of the desert is surreal. This desert is located just an hour’s drive from Marrakech, making it easily accessible if you have limited time in Morocco but still want to enjoy a part of the desert’s magic. I stayed at Agafay Luxury Camp and absolutely loved it.
Key details
Riads enchanted me; the tranquility they offer is truly remarkable. It’s magical, and when experiencing Morocco, staying in this type of accommodation is a must. Meanwhile, spending nights in a desert in luxurious tents, stargazing and camel rides at sunrise on the dunes, is an unforgettable experience.
Riads I’ve experienced and recommend staying in
Food – Although Moroccan cuisine didn’t quite appeal to me, French cuisine is also popular here. There are truly delicious and beautiful places for meals.
Traveling by car was very convenient and, I must say, without any incidents, except for one thing: never trust locals who claim that the road is closed and offer to show you the “right” way. Remember, the roads are not closed, and you should ignore these offers! Sometimes, even if it feels unsafe, you might have to leave your car keys in parking lots located in the courtyards of Marrakech’s old town. However, I trusted this practice, especially when the place was recommended by one of the accommodations.
Thank you for joining me on this journey and allowing me to share my photos and experiences from Morocco.
See you in the next post!
With gratitude, Zeina
