Morocco: 1 Breathtaking Hot Air Balloon Ride

Morocco, Is That You Yelling My Name?

All roads lead to Morocco today. Morocco laye wa.

I think it’s very obvious now that keeping in line with the season, I am going to be bringing you a lot of Christmas-related, holiday-related, new year-related, and vacation-related content and you love it all, don’t you? Today we’re taking a first-class plane ride all the way to Morocco.

It’s no secret, especially if you’re regular to the website that if I can, I will avoid cold places. Give me heat, give me sun, give me wide umbrellas, give me beaches, give me sipping a piña colada on a lounge chair in my bikini, with a wide-brimmed hat on, on the beach and Morocco offers just that, offers that and so much more and you know there are people who agree with me, really just take a look at this tweet below.

The best experience you can gift yourself if you are traveling to Morocco this holiday is the hot air balloon experience

Ps: if you are single, ask to be paired with single people cos if you enter the one with relationship people, you will be their photographer, I kid you not

The tour companies know this so they pair relationship people together cos they pick people from their hotels so they know who came single or not.

If you enter the one with relationship people and you and your spouse are not “looking into each other’s eyes”. You will be the photographer of the group. I am speaking from experience

Tourist Attractions in Morocco.

1. Chefchaouen 

This charming Labyrinth hill town is simply peaceful and calming and has been said to be a great place to feel alive again and recharge. Unlike the cities like Fez and Marrakesh that is very fast-paced and bustling, this town just wants you to slow down and breathe. When I tell you that’s the Instagram pictures, the social media content in this new town is going to be banging, believe me.

There isn’t actual sightseeing to be done in this town, you’re just going to be taking leisurely walks about the Medina alleys and soaking in the beautiful architecture, which if you ask me is a win-win because you get to take swell pictures and just relax and rest and recharge. It’s so good.

2. Ait Ben Haddou

The eye-catching orange-hued turrets and the curvy lanes in this village are actually one that draws Hollywood and has become a prime location for filmmakers because of the beauty that it carries. The golden-stoned village thrust up dramatically from the ground is bound to take your breath away with its beauty. It’s definitely a 10 over 10 recommendation.

3. Marrakech Medina

I know one too many YouTubers who have gone on vacation in Marrakech and the B-roll in their videos have always been exciting, just jaw-dropping. Marrakesh is bustling and it’s a major tourist attraction. There are amazing markets and stalls where you can find beautiful pieces of jewellery and other cultural things that are unique to Morocco and Marrakesh. You’ve got the traditional musicians, the random acrobats, the snake charmers. it’s just absolutely artsy and colourful. A content creator’s dream.

4. The Medina of Fes

Also called Fes el Bali is made up of a maze of skinny back alleyways that will most definitely get you a little lost. On the streets of this town, you will find beautiful palaces and monuments set in twisted streets and souq streets filled to the brim with the local traditional handicrafts that will want to make you spend all your coins.

5.  Bab al-Mansour in Meknes

A breathtaking relic of Meknes’ glorious era as the capital of Morocco and was made as an ode to the sultan’s feat. It is a beautiful Medina well known for its intricate and gorgeous decorations.
