Morocco

21 December 2018 - 7 January 2019

We decided to spend the 2018-19 Christmas holiday season in Morocco. We flew directly to Casablanca where we stayed for just one night and from there we drove towards Rabat. We then continued along the Atlantic coast and to Asilah. The next day we drove to Tangier, passing through Espartel. From Tangier we visited Cascades d'Akchour and trekked the 'God's Bridge' trail. From Tangier we went to Chefchaouen for a couple of days. Next, we drove to Fez stopping at Volubilis and the city of Meknes on the way. We then drove through Ifrane and the Ziz valley until we arrived in Merzouga, from where we spent a night at a desert camp. The next day we drove through Todra and Dades Gorges and spent the night in Boumaine Dades. Next, we visited The Atlas Studios and the Fint Oasis around Oarzazate. Marakech was our stop for the next three days, celebrating the new year. We also visited the Ouzoud Waterfalls. We passed the last few days relaxing at the seaside towns of Essaouria and Oualidia. Our last destination was Casablanca from where we flew back home.
