Making my way home from Marrakech I’m back in London now after a long, but fairly smooth, travel day. The day started in our hotel in Marrakech where, after a quick bite for breakfast, I made my way to the airport by taxi. I had pre-booked this the night before […]

From Essaouira to Marrakech
Whenever you visit another country it’s always interesting to experience public transport when you can, as opposed to using a private vehicle for everything, as I think this gives you a greater understanding of the country that you’re visiting. We didn’t use public transport much on this trip, as most […]
Two full days in Essaouira
Essaouira is a great place to visit I have just spent two days in Essaouira, and it has been my favourite place in Morocco so far. Before coming here my hairdresser, who is from France, told me that he has spent a lot of time here over the years – […]
From Agadir to Essaouira
Last night did not go as planned Last night I said that I hoped that I would get a good night’s sleep because I had been feeling a bit fragile all day. Unfortunately, my room was at the end of the corridor and right above a nightclub next door, meaning […]
A long drive to Agadir
A very long driving day Today was definitely a difficult day in terms of travelling, due to the length of time taken to get from the Sahara Camp to Agadir. In total it was more than 12 hours, including our lunch break, although we did see some lovely scenery along […]
Overnight in the Sahara Desert
We’re finally in the Sahara I’m currently at Erg Chigaga, on the edges of the Sahara Desert, and the scenery is absolutely spectacular. It feels surreal to be staying here although, I have to say, the description that we were given on the Intrepid website of camping in the desert […]
Atlas Movie Studios and Zagora
Leaving Ait Benhaddou Today was a really fun day, especially for a movie fan like me, and we’re now in the town of Zagora which is our final stop before we head into the Sahara tomorrow for the night. I woke up fairly early, not quite early enough to watch […]
From Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou
Departing from Marrakech Today was mostly a travel day, but it ticked off two places that I had been really looking forward to since booking this trip – the Atlas Mountains and Ait Benhaddou. I’m not even sure why at this point, but for years visiting the Atlas Mountains had […]
A full day in Marrakech
Walking into the city centre The temperature was so warm today, but I had a great time exploring Marrakech, seeing the main sights and soaking up the atmosphere of the city. The first place on my list for today was the Saadian Tombs, a royal necropolis dating back to the […]
From London to Marrakech
I’ve arrived in Marrakech I’ve made it to Morocco, and I’m loving the atmosphere of Marrakech so far. I chose to visit the south of the country, rather than the north, as it takes you away from the big cities. However, the souqs of Marrakech are famous the world over […]
