Love at First Sight

Situated in the Maghreb region of North Africa, the Kingdom of Morocco is the most unique country in the entire African continent. When my husband suggested Morocco as our honeymoon destination, I had my reservations. However, a quick internet search on the country generated satisfactory results. So I agreed. Of course I still wanted to go to a more glamorous place like Cape Town or Europe, so I didn’t give up until our business class tickets were booked. My husband had visited the country before and every time I tried to change the destination, he told me that I didn’t know better. Well, I whole heatedly agree with him now. Indeed, I didn’t know better. It was love at first sight with Morocco. My suggestion for all you honeymooners looking for an economical yet fun and beautiful destination: book your business class tickets to Morocco right away. To tour Morocco, make sure you book a rental car and local driver. It is a country worth exploring.

The beautiful ‘Minara Gardens’

At the gate of Atlas Mountains are the beautiful Minara Gardens. Built back in the 12^th century, the gardens have a very peaceful and serene environment.

Majorelle Garden

This 12 acre botanical garden was designed by a French artist. So yes, it is amazing and a must visit.

Casablanca

Located to the west of Morocco on the Atlantic Ocean is the loveliest city of the country. For some reason, Casablanca is very interesting. I am not sure if it is due to the friendly people or the cultured surroundings. The Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca cathedral and Marif district are some of the best areas of the city. But truly speaking, eating out in this city is most fun. Don Camillo, Bombay Palace, L’Entrecote café de Paris and Rick’s café are the places offering the best ambiance and food.

Atlas Mountain

The mountain range across the country is great for trekking all year round. For thrill, adventure and natural beauty, visit the Ourika Valley.

The mesmerizing ‘Sahara Desert’

Exploring the magical Sahara desert is one of the most exciting experiences of life. It is as if you are at the set of the ‘The Mummy’ movie. The camel ride is quite fun too.

Surfing

Visit the popular Taghazoute Town to surf in the cool waters of Morocco.
