Often, before heading to a new country, we scroll through Instagram for inspirations. We want to discover places not listed in the popular travel guides. Or to know the country from its insiders’ perspectives.
Do you want to taste Morocco before heading there? I selected 11 Instagram accounts about Morocco that I follow for a while. These accounts are not only run by locals but also by foreigners living in Morocco. Or, foreigners that spend much time here. As well, these accounts will introduce you not only with inspiring places to visit but also with Moroccan culture and history.
