MOROCCO | Morocco's best guide 2023: Agadir, Mhamid, Merzouga, Ait Ben Haddou, Marrakesh
Welcome to our luxury travel couple's adventure in Morocco! In this first part of our journey, we spent the first 5 days exploring the stunning beauty of this North African country. Our journey started in Agadir, where we rented a car and spent the first night in the city before heading out to explore.
We visited the Agadir souk and medina, where we immersed ourselves in the vibrant culture of Morocco. Afterward, we embarked on a nine-hour drive to Mhamid, where we were picked up by our driver to take us to Umnya, the luxury desert camp. The camp is located in the middle of the Sahara desert, and we were amazed by its epic, magical, and mystical beauty. We enjoyed camel riding, sandboarding, and delicious local cuisine while we were there. We also took some time to create unique content for our Instagram account.
Our experience at Umnya was unforgettable, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a secluded and unique experience in the desert. After two days, we traveled to Merzouga, a town famous for its stunning sand dunes. We stayed at the Riad Serai, a luxurious accommodation situated on the outskirts of the Merzouga dunes. During our stay, we visited Sunrise Palace, a unique accommodation with the most unique pool we've ever seen.
We then went camel riding through the desert to the Caravan Serai Camp, the first luxury camp in Morocco, where a famous Chinese series was filmed. We had the chance to enjoy green tea on the dunes while admiring the stunning beauty of the desert. We also had the opportunity to spend the night with the local Berber people from the Ait Atta tribe.
Our next stop was Ait Ben Haddou, where we enjoyed the sunset and sipped tea on the terrace cafe at the top. Ait Ben Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has been used as a filming location for many popular movies and TV shows.
Our first part of the journey ended with a drive across Morocco to Marrakesh, stopping along the way at the Todra Gorges, where we enjoyed the clean water and views of the canyon. We can't wait to share the second part of our journey with you!
