Accommodation inspiration and recommendations for all of Morocco’s top travel destinations, including Marrakech, Essaouira, Chefchaouen and the Sahara Desert
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…
When I was younger, I always stayed at budget hotels and hostels – I wanted my money to stretch as far as possible. Then, once I had a steady income and a little cash to spare, I upgraded my accommodation to what most would call “mid-range”. But it took a while longer before I felt…
