And your husband is a windsurfer? He is going to be right at home, you guys are going to have such an incredible time!

If you haven’t sorted accommodation yet, I’d definitely recommend the Les Maison Bleu – a really beautiful riad building but with an artsy/beachy feel about it – best place I stayed in my whole trip.

As for whether I travel with work or for play, it is usually the latter! Every time I get a week or two free I try to head off to somewhere new. Having said that, from your comments, it sounds like I’m going to have to go back to Morocco to see Fez after all :)

I do love Morocco, something about the country and the people make me feel at home because I have been welcomed into peoples home each time without question and treated like a local.

I could live in Essaouira or Fez easily for half of the year, in fact my husband and I are going to Essaouira next year for our belated honeymoon during the Gnaoua Music Festival, he has never been there and is a windsurfer = perfection!

Fez is definitely worth a visit or 2, the old city is the oldest in Morocco (if I remember correctly), the souk is a true maze more so than in Marrakesh.

I agree with you about Marrakech, I will not go out of my way to return, it has become too touristy and it is just not as welcoming and quaint as Fez, Agadir, Essaouira and even Tetouan.

My profile picture below was taken in Essaouira.

You are living my dream of traveling all over, and I assume most is for work? Enjoy!

Nicole

Wow – 2 x in 10 yrs from DC; you must love North Africa as much as I do!

Was a big fan of Essaouira – loved the artsy vibe and the beach was just brilliant.

I heard Fez was definitely worth a visit; better than Marrakech which to be honest I was relatively luke warm about. Def going back to Fez next time – have you been?

Overall I find if you respect the people and the culture they respect you.

My favorite city (thus far) is Essaouira, what is yours?

Nicole
