What desert to choose for your Sahara desert experience depends on: how much time you have in Morocco, your budget, and whether you want to take a private or shared tour or maybe drive yourself.

I like the Merzouga desert because it’s easier to access; you can book an affordable shared tour from Marrakech or drive it yourself. On the way to Merzouga, you can stop at Ait Ben Haddou, Skoura oasis or Tordra gorge.

The Erg Cheggi dunes in Merzouga are very close to the town, you can easily walk there or hop on a camel, and in 30 min ride, you are next to the highest dunes. The Erg Cheggi dunes are majestic and will leave you with unforgettable memories.

However, the Merzouga desert is a tourist destination, so don’t expect a romantic experience riding a camel and meeting the sunset on the dunes alone. There will be other tourists around.

The Zagora desert next to M’hamid with Erg Chegaga dunes is wilder and less touristy. If you want to feel that there is nothing around you, only dunes, if you’re going to immerse yourself in freedom and the unlimited scenery of dunes, head to Erg Chegaga. In Erg Chigaga, you feel remoteness, a feeling many of us want to have while staying in the desert.

Different kinds of travelers come to Taghazout. Th

Different kinds of travelers come to Taghazout. They are not interested in standard all-inclusive packages, love enjoying the romance of the place while not being afraid of challenges. These travellers like to watch fishermen pull their boats out of the sea at the end of a long day, and in the evening; they like to go to local restaurants, where everyone can enjoy fresh fish caught earlier that same day.

Daredevils have the opportunity to learn how to surf the waves, while others may choose to start their day with morning yoga classes. Or just enjoy experiencing life in an authentic Moroccan countryside.

Another big advantage of Taghazout is the proximity to the ocean. You can literally rent a room or apartment right on the shoreline. You won’t find this kind of affordable luxury in Agadir or Essaouira.

Happy memories from my time in Taghazout with my family.

Paradise Valley

I made this video in 2018 and remembered about it after visiting Paradise Valley a a few days ago.

Sadly, there is not much water there now. However, I hope the rain will visit this beautiful oasis soon. And even without much water, it's still lovely to walk around and have delicious juice at the local river cafes.

The Paradise Valley is located 58 km from Agadir (towards Taghazout village) and is the most popular day trip. Paradise Valley is a small oasis surrounded by the High Atlas mountains and filled with natural pools, palm trees; perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, free fish spa and lunch at the river restaurants and cliff jumping.

7 years living in Morocco.

The first time my family visited me here.

Only papa is missing, sending him kisses to Germany.

Not always easy to navigate between Europe and Africa but happy being able to have jobs I love in both continents. Since direct flights from the Baltics are back, hope to see my family more often 🥰🥰

The 9 Best Museums to visit in Marrakech Medina.

The 9 Best Museums to visit in Marrakech Medina.

Marrakech Medina offers plenty of places to visit, including museums and monuments. List of my favourite museums:

1. Ben Youssef Madrasa was founded in the 14th century and was the largest Islamic college in Morocco during its height. Up to 900 students would have lived there to study law and theology.

2. BAHIA PALACE (meaning “brilliance” in Arabic) is a nineteenth-century palace, one of the masterpieces of Moroccan architecture. The palace features 150 rooms, including the famous secret harem.

3. EL BADI PALACE s an architectural ensemble built at the end of the sixteenth century. Historians say the palace had 360 rooms decorated in gold, turquoise and crystal. Sadly, today, it’s a ruined palace with an enormous courtyard size that will give you an idea of the building’s splendour.

4. SAADIAN TOMBS are one of the only remains of the Saadian dynasty that reigned Marrakech between 1524 to 1659. In total, 66 princes and other prominent figures lie in the Saadian Tombs and more than 100 chancellors and wives.

5. DAR SI SAID Museum is the oldest museum in Marrakech. Built during the second half of the 19th century by order of Si Said Ben Moussa. As of 1930, a museum and crafts workshops were installed.

6. THE MUSEUM OF MARRAKECH is housed in the Dar Menebhi Palace, constructed at the end of the 19th century by Mehdi Menebhi. In 1956, the palace was taken by the government of Morocco.

7. DAR BELLARJ is located right next to the Madrasa Ben Youssef. It used to be the sanctuary of the injured storks (“bellarj” means stork in Arabic).Dar Bellarj is a hidden gem if you like contemporary and modern art mixed with Moroccan traditions.

8. MAISON DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE has a private collection of 8000 photographs; this collection is only about Morocco and covers 1870 to 1950.

9. DAR EL BACHA Confluences Museum - Dar El Bacha Palace was built in the late 19th century for the most famous Moroccan Pasha (duke) Thami el Glaoui. The palace was renovated and converted into a museum known as the Dar El Bacha – Musée des Confluences in 2017.
