An absolutely perfect way for me to end my hectic travels in the fabulous country of Morocco was by taking a cooking class in traditional Moroccan cuisine.
La Maison Arabe was one of the cities most legendary restaurants, which later became one of the first Riads to open its doors to guests in Marrakech.
La Mamounia hotel offers four signature restaurants on its premises of which its casual poolside eating spot is Le Pavillon de la Piscine, which is located in the courtyard overlooking the gorgeous gardens.
La Mamounia hotel is the ultimate oasis of luxury located between the city centre and the old Medina of Marrakech.
Marrakech is a thriving metropolis whose pace is tempered by is rich heritage and deep cultural roots.
Ouarzazate is often known as the “Hollywood of Morocco”. It’s stunning landscapes have been the setting for several movies such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia and many more.
The vistas of Ouarzazate are truly spectacular. Aït Ben Haddou is a particularly well-known village that houses Kasbahs that have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
To truly appreciate the splendor of these surroundings, I recommend staying at Riad Ksar Ighnda. This homey yet modern Riad has the majestic Atlas Mountains as its backdrop as it overlooks a valley surrounded with Kasbahs.
A riad is a traditional Moroccan house or palace built around an interior garden or courtyard. Riads are popular options for tourists to stay at instead of hotels.
The Sahara Desert might have been one of the most breathtaking parts of our trip to Morocco.
The fascinating medina (old city) of Fes has enough sights and sounds to keep one wandering through its unique alleyways and covered bazaars for days. It is essential though to stop from time to time to eat!

Fes – this ancient walled city of Morocco is considered to be one of the best-preserved old cities in the Arab world and is said to be country’s cultural and spiritual centre. It has two old medinas, the larger of which is Fes el-Bali (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Rabat, meaning “Fortified Place” is the capital of Morocco. This stately city is the countries diplomatic center and is very beautifully kept. It might be one of Morocco’s most appealing cities. We visited the magnificent Mohammed V Mausoleum, which is considered a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture.
If you are looking for that “seriously charming”, “all you envision a traditional restaurant in Morocco to be” – kind of place then there is no better choice than Al Mounia for a meal.
The Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche is a wonderful, modern hotel located in the heart of the city. This luxury hotel is located just a few minutes away from the cities most coveted sights such as Hassan II Mosque, Megarama, Morocco Mall and the Ain Diab Coast.
Casablanca is a port city and well known for its wonderful fresh seafood offerings. Restaurant du Port de Peche is a seafood restaurant located right in the middle of the fishing harbor.
Casablanca (the Spanish word for “White House”) is Morocco’s’ largest city and is the countries economic and business center. Though Casablanca is often pictured in ones mind as this ultra charming, romantic destination (mostly due to the movie Casablanca) but in comparison to the rest of the country, Casablanca falls short. It does however have enough interesting spots to visit if you are passing through.
Morocco is one of the most fascinating countries I have visited in recent times. Situated in Northern Africa, less than 10 miles away from Spain, the meld of cultures and influences seen here are just marvelous. Berber, European, Arab and African traditions heavily influence the Moroccan way of life.
