Where We're Headed Next Spring
Morocco, April 15-24, 2027. We’re keeping what we loved this year and adding a few extras, including lunch at Kasbah Tamadot. Join the early list now.
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.
A Perfect Day in Morocco: Atlas Mountains & Valley Adventures
A guided hike through the Ourika Valley to a hidden waterfall, a riverside lunch of tagine and trout, then an afternoon at the spa back in Marrakech.
The Blue Pearl of Morocco: Discovering Chefchaouen
Blue-washed alleys, mountain hikes and mint tea on a rooftop terrace. Chefchaouen is where our Morocco trip slows down.
