May 2015 – Fes – 5 Nights in the heart of the Medina, it is very easy to believe you’ve been transported back 2000 years to a scene right out of the Bible.

May 2015 – Dades Gorge – 1 Night in this utterly amazing landscape. The colours of the mountains are so orange and the land formations remind me of moonscapes. Your jaw keeps dropping with every turn, and the raggedy roads keep you on the edge of your seat.

May 2015 – Valley of Roses – This valley produces 4,000,000 kilos of petals annually for the perfume market. 3,000 kilos of rose petals are needed to make a single litre of rosewater and the total harvest only yields 1,400 litres, making the finished product very expensive.
We were 1 night at Kasbah Chems

May 2015 – Taroudant – 2 nights in this very authentic Moroccan town easily walkable. Quite nice accommodation, few choices for restaurants, though we did find an upscale one and treated ourselves. Also had a decent pizza to fill in between the ubiquitous tagines.

May 2015 – Essaouira – We’ve been looking forward to our return (after 4 years) to the seaside community of Essaouira… part expansive sandy beach and part old walled Medina and picturesque working fishing port. You should see the amazing catch as the fishermen return in the late afternoon along with hundreds of seagulls flying overhead or walking around gulping down fish guts! You have never seen fatter seagulls in your life. The dockyard is busy with repairs and it is SO… “everyday Morocco”.
8 nights here in our favourite town
