What to Avoid in Morocco
Listen up, because navigating Morocco can be tricky. Here’s a few things to avoid in order to keep your stay in Morocco magical.
Overzealous Guides:
Yes, the medinas are maze-like, but some “helpful” locals might lead you straight to their cousin’s carpet shop. Stick with official guides or your hotel’s recommended options.
Drinking Tap Water:
Unless you like spending your luxury vacation getting acquainted with the bathroom, stick to bottled water. Your stomach will thank you.
Overambitious Itineraries:
Morocco looks small on a map, but trust me, you don’t want to try squeezing Marrakech, Fes, and the Sahara into a long weekend. Slow down and savor.
Bare Shoulders and Knees in Conservative Areas:
Morocco is relatively liberal, but respect local customs, especially in rural areas. Save the short shorts for the resort pool.
Believing Every “Authentic” Experience:
That “traditional Berber village” is a popular choice, however, is known fro not being authentic. Do your research or rely on trusted luxury operators.
There you have it, a magic carpet ride through the luxurious side of Morocco. From riads fit for royalty to desert nights under a canopy of stars, this country offers a blend of opulence and adventure that’s hard to beat. Just remember to pack your sense of wonder along with those designer sunglasses. Yalla! (That’s “Let’s go!” in Arabic) – your Moroccan adventure awaits!
