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 – 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
