City of Lights, Are You Shining Just for Me? 🌟: Morocco
As your plane begins its descent into Morocco, you can't help but feel excitement, cause the country is full of life.
The backdrop is entirely black, which is a key color in YSL's designs. This creates a cavernous cocoon that is pierced only by audiovisuals of the designer's catwalk shows and recordings of him speaking.
5. Cactus Thiemann
If you love cacti, then the Cactus Thiemann is a must-see! This North African cacti farm has fields of giant aloe, agave, and prickly pear. The largest cactus is 8m high and 80 years old! Tours of the 17-acre nursery and its 150 cacti varieties are fascinating, and there are also camels for kids.
6. Musée de Marrakech
The Musée de Marrakech is a must-see for lovers of Moroccan art! This museum is a historic palace and museum located in the old center of Marrakesh land now exhibits a collection of Moroccan art forms. The central internal courtyard is the highlight, with its cedar archways, stained-glass windows, intricate painted door panels, and zellige (colourful geometric mosaic tilework).
The palace was once home to Mehdi Mnebhi, defence minister during Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz’s troubled reign (1894–1908). After independence, the building was seized by the state and became Marrakesh’s first girls’ school in 1965.
7. Sahara Desert
The Souss Valley, which is located where goats climb argan trees beneath the sun-baked Anti Atlas, divides Morocco in half. The villages and Saharan gateways that are located south of this fertile valley have a seductively slow pace of life.
After crossing the rocky and forlorn expanses of the hamada, the city of Dakhla is a much more relaxed destination. With the cobalt intensity of the Atlantic Ocean softened by palm trees, it's a pleasant place to spend time.
The people of Morocco are also incredibly hospitable, making it a great place to visit. No matter what you do, you're sure to have a memorable experience in this vibrant and welcoming country.
City of lights, there's so much that I can't see:
