MY UNFORGETTABLE TRIP TO MARRAKECH
imean why else would Morocco be the most visited countr y? Being here I must say, I know I made the right choice, nothing could have lifted my mood more than standing on these grounds and inhaling the fresh air of this countr y. Af ter landing at one of the international airpor ts in Marrakech, I hopped in my taxi whilst heading to my destination called the Riad Chayma , which wasn't 5-star, but it sufficed. Although I should give a tip that if you are looking for a more luxurious option that will sweep you off your feet, then booking yourself in proper 5-star hotels, they will be more than happy to assist you there.
Star t your journey anywhere and let me warn you, ‘don’t forget about going back home’ I almost lost my flight because of how welcoming the country was to me. There is really never a bad time to visit this countr y, I mean any time is a good time. But the best time to visit the country is during April and May/September to November, the countr y’s shoulder seasons.
I star ted my stay at the at the Café de La Poste. Café De La Poste is one of the most famous café shops around this block. I just had some pastr y and hot chocolate coffee and just looking and absorbing how it feels to be in an unfamiliar country and what there is to offer around this heavy buzz. Not too busy nor crowded, but just a civilized area where you can just dot down even read a book whilst enjoying the calm surrounding around you.
The second day, I walked down to the secret garden where I Had a great time with the outdoor activit y with just ever ything that has to do with nature. So, if you live in a resor t in Marrakech, especially one that does not offer a tour guide is a bit trick y, but with a lot of freedom. All mistakes and knowledge are best taught when you experience something alone. On the third day, I wanted to tr y something new. I hear that as a woman you need to dress in a certain way that literally covers you up. So, I just pulled my confidence and went for a more outgoing kind of outfit. I was at the end of the day just going out and enjoying myself at one of the best restaurants around Marrakech, the Dinner at Azaar was something to look forward to, and most definitely not regretting my choice of outfit.
There are a lot of things to do in Morocco and I should say that the five days there were with an experience, although spending eight to ten days in Marrakech would have given me more of a chance to get to know the city better.
The Ouzoud falls is a very pleasant place filled with lots of waterfalls and a lot of hiking. Enjoy a meal whilst looking at the waterfall and admiring the most pleasant parts of mother nature.
My best part and the most favoured was the camel riding. Also located outside of Marrakech, the three days Moroccan trip into the Morocco desser t and travelling through the different sites of the deser t, whilst peacefully listening to the travel guide preach about how amazing this place can be.
Water sport is something one will have to look for ward to, af ter the heav y feel of sand gushing in your face, that can be something to cool you. Right af ter bathing/showering of course.
