Inside Scoop: Two Things About Morocco That I Didn't Expect
Morocco surprised us twice: with green, Ireland-like hills after years of drought, and with everyday rural life on the road from Fez to Chefchaouen.
Our Turn In The Kitchen
Mint tea in the garden, bread from a clay oven, and a hands-on class cooking tagine and zaalouk. The group agreed it was the best tagine of the trip.
Beyond Couscous and Tagine
Moroccan food is so much more than couscous and tagine. Our favorite was Dar Roumana, a restaurant hidden inside a former riad in the Fez medina.
Hotel Highlight: Selman Marrakech
Spacious rooms, a huge pool, the Chenot Spa, stables of purebred Arabian horses and a sitar player at breakfast. Here’s why we love Selman Marrakech.
A Moment That Stayed With Us
Five times a day, the call to prayer drifts across Morocco. For the women on our trip, especially in Chefchaouen, it became a moment to pause.

Marrakech Sanctuary: The Selman
After days in the souks and the Atlas Mountains, we return to Selman Marrakech for the Chenot Spa, the pools and a famous Sunday brunch.
