Moroccan Magic is just that. Our day in Casablanca sets the tone for this magical tour! We are woken by the call to prayer at 6.15am and head to Hassan 11 Mosque where a sense of calm is bestowed upon us. We marvel at the craftsmanship and its beauty. We hit the road and head north to Chefchaoen – familiar as the blue city. We climb mountains to watch the sun set over this beautiful town before some serious carpet shopping.
Our time in Fez does not disappoint. We explore the Medina with its 9454 alleyways including some of the narrowest in the world. Not only is it the epicentre for trade for the locals, but it is also a magnet for sisters keen to grab a bargain.
Magic is certainly woven on us as we venture into the Sahara Desert. We tear through the desert in 4WD’s, in the very capable hands of our thrill-seeking drivers. We share tea with a local Amazi woman and of course ride camels into the dunes at sunset. Ahhhh!
Our journey takes us from East to West through some of the most remote parts of this amazing country. Retracing the steps of caravan traders of the past, the farmers amongst us are captivated by basic farming techniques across a harsh landscape.
We enjoy the reality that we are staying in the same hotel stayed in by Brad Pitt when filming at the nearby Atlas Studios!
We travel on switchback roads which are not for the feint hearted and cross the High Atlas Mountains…only to keep pinching ourselves.
Next big player on this ‘wow factor’ itinerary is Marrakech. We immerse ourselves in the hustle and bustle, we learn to cook and we pamper at the hammam! Manic and marvellous, Marrakech is simply good for the soul.
Rounding out this simply wonderful three weeks is the seaside town of Essaouira. We interact with the local fisherman and marvel at their methods. Essaouira is a personal favourite and a fitting end to a wonderful tour.
We experienced cultures and a life we did not know. We have made friends who now call us family. It was a privilege to travel with such a great bunch of women. We have all been enriched by this magical journey.
