While I’m now married to a local and live part-time between Morocco and Australia, the first time I visited was as a solo traveller. I’ve also travelled independently to all corners of Morocco in the years since – I just solo adventures! I could tell you that I was one of those people who had…
An honest budget breakdown for travelling solo in Morocco before you book the flight. Morocco has a reputation for being one of the most affordable destinations in North Africa. But if I’m being honest, things have gotten waaaaaay more expensive in recent years. But hasn’t everywhere? When I first arrived from Australia in 2014, I…
Okay, so I might be biased, but there’s something incredibly special about Morocco. One look at social media and it feels there’s a bit of a buzz around the country, particularly amongst solo travellers. Morocco is accessible, adventurous and culturally rich at every turn. Oh, and did I mention highly photogenic! In recent years, solo…
Let me start by saying that I didn’t exactly start my first hammam experience solo. But as soon as the entrance fee was paid and I was equipped with everything I needed, I was suddenly left to my own devices. My boyfriend at the time (who later became my husband) suggested we go to the…
A night in Morocco’s Sahara Desert is one of those experiences that stays with you long after you’ve left. It’s not just about being surrounded by undulating dunes (although that is amazing!) It’s the silence. The stargazing. And getting a taste of life for the region’s semi-nomadic Amazigh people. But if you’re travelling alone, the…
Having explored (almost) every corner of Morocco as a solo traveller, I find it hard to condense its highlights into just a week. It encompasses not only labyrinthine medinas and breezy coastal cities but also rugged mountain scenery and windswept desert dunes. So where should you visit in Morocco if you only have 7 days?…
December in Morocco is a bit of a mixed bag. It can be crisp, sunny days beneath snow-dusted mountains. Or it can (as 2025 taught us during the AFCON tournament) be grey skies and heavy rainfall. If the last 10 years in Morocco has taught me anything, it’s that December is a month of contrasts:…
If you’re considering a solo trip to Morocco in November, you’re looking at one of the country’s most underrated months. In my opinion at least! There’s usually a bit of a lull in tourist numbers following the idyllic weather of early autumn and before the influx of people who arrive at the end of December. …
If you’re planning a solo trip to Morocco, October is considered by many people to be one of the best months to go. And I have to agree! The intense summer heat has eased and the Sahara once again becomes accessible. Oh, and the Atlantic waters are still warm enough to swim if you’re craving a…
If you’re planning a solo trip to Morocco and debating when to go, September might be the sweet spot you didn’t know you were looking for. The extreme heart of summer is beginning to fade and peak-season crowds are starting to thin out. But the ocean’s still warm enough to swim and the desert’s becoming…
