DO ride a camel through
the Sahara Desert.
ST AY in a riad in the Medina.
SI P on the world’s best OJ
from one of the colorful
stalls in Jemaa el-Fna.
GET LOST wandering (and
shopping) through a souk.
SCRU B DOWN and refresh
at a hammam — a traditional
steam bath and massage. It’s like a
Morrocan right of passage! You’ll find
there are both local and luxury
hammams so do your research
ahead of time to find the one most
soothing to your soul.
KU RT ’S T RA V EL TIP :
Start your trip by flying into
Tangier and taking a train south
to Chefchaouen. The train ride
was amazing and allowed me to see
much of the beautiful and open
scenery. Chefchaouen is one of the
most unique towns I have ever seen.
The entire place is painted in a pale
blue; the buildings and even the
streets. This is a place truly devoid
of Western culture which makes it a
perfect place to get away.
