Morocco Adventure | A Packed 6-Day Trip from the UK
Day 1: Marrakech ☀️ Stay: Wazo Hotel Money: Exchanged cash (💴 Bring enough! Cards rarely work) Jemaa el-Fnaa (Square): Overpriced—haggle hard (50% off!). Beware of performers demanding payment for photos. Must-try: Fresh juice stands! 🍹 Afternoon: Bahia Palace (🎫 100 MAD, closes at 5 PM). Day 2: Ouarzazate 🏜️ (3.5-hour drive) Aït Ben Haddou: Game of Thrones filming spot—post-apocalyptic vibes! Wear sunglasses & boots (sandstorms!). Atlas Film Studios (🎫 8€): Cool drone shots by guides, but meh if you’re not a film buff. Stay: RS Karam Palace (✨ Stunning riad! See pics 8-10). Day 3: Merzouga 🐫 (6.5-hour drive) Sahara Desert: Camel ride (1 hour = sore butt) to luxury desert camp. Night: Bonfire + epic stars 🌌. Sunrise views! Pro tip: Buy a colorful scarf for photos. Reality check: FREEZING at night—5 blankets + puffer jacket still wasn’t enough! Day 4: Ifrane + Fes 🚗 (7-hour drive) Ifrane ("Moroccan Switzerland"): Cute but random. Monkey Forest 🐒 was okay. Fes: Skippable? Just slept here. 😴 Day 5: Chefchaouen 💙 The Blue City! Most charming stop (pics 16-18). Wandering the medina was the highlight. Food wins: Avocado smoothies + slow-cooked beef/lamb tagine + date yogurt = perfection. Final Thoughts: Skip the long drives! Consider Agadir’s beaches 🏝️ instead of full desert loops. Best for: Sahara lovers 🏜️, not for those who hate road trips. #Morocco #StudyAbroad #SaharaDesert #UKStudents #TravelDiaries
