Morocco Travel Blog: Stories from our travels around morocco
From interviews with hotel owners that have left their life and world behind and settled in Morocco, to the restoration of collective granaries and latest travel updates, there’s something for everyone here. For Morocco is unique. Away from Youtube videos and orientalist clichés, under the surface of appearances, it remains a land utterly beguiling.
Separated from Europe by merely a few kilometers of sea, the contrast couldn’t be more dramatic: from troglodytes living in caves and nomads taking their camel, sheep and goat herds from the warm Sahara desert in winter to High Atlas plateaus in summer, snake charmers, rock engravings and century old Berber granaries to intrepid Europeans letting their imagination free and opening some of the most original boutique hotels, luxury camps and eco lodges this side of the Mediterranean, Morocco never ceases to seduce, in a constant cultural ebb and flow.
And what better way to know a country than to live on the ground and travel constantly around it ? We’ve been doing that since 2006. Visiting the places, chatting to the people, experiencing first hand this paradox: despite the ever growing outside influence, the local customs, traditions, languages and cultures all but lost their vigor. On the contrary. We hope that you, the traveler, can also experience some of them first- hand, when traveling across Morocco.
