Morocco was the most wonderful surprise to me.
It’s a country lauded for its history, architecture, cuisine and landscapes, but I had my doubts before visiting that it would live up to expectations. However, it far, far exceeded them.
We spent six weeks, driving 6000 kilometres across the entire country, seeking to learn as much as we could of the Morocco I was desperately hoping to find.
Here, we’re writing about all of our highlights across this (surprisingly large) nation. We hope some can be of help to you!
