ADVICE

Know Meal Inclusions And Costs

Expect breakfast included with riad bookings and dinners included in remote southern locations.
Plan lunch budgets around $10–$50 depending on city and dining choice.

ADVICE

Pick A Villa For Larger Private Groups

For larger private groups, choose a villa over riads to get more space, private access, and onsite services.
Villas often include housekeeping, breakfasts, and private pools ideal for wedding parties.

ADVICE

Use Driver Laundry Drop-Offs

Use the driver-to-laundry service while touring: hand your laundry to the driver and they'll drop off and pick up from local cleaners.
This keeps your clothes fresh without losing tour time or paying hotel premiums.

"A Couple's Guide to Romantic Morocco"

Our episode this week puts specific focus on the Moroccan experience for couples: whether you're on your honeymoon, a vacation or maybe even planning to elope, Morocco is truly one of the world's great romantic destinations.

Morocco was in fact ranked number one in 2022 for destination weddings.

You've seen the stunning photos of luxurious accommodation, desert camps and delicate architecture. Now Azdean and producer Ted help fill in the gaps on things like what riads are really like, how to reserve a private dining experience, and how hammams work.

Riads offer a unique and intimate experience for couples, similar to a bed & breakfast but with even more space, dining options and luxury. You'll learn how to request a private dining experience at your riad, while making the most of other opportunities to get to know your fellow guests, b&b-style.
Hammams are the traditional Moroccan baths that provide a unique cultural experience. Azdean explains the difference between a spa and a hammam, how long the process takes and the best time of day to go.
Fes is known for its unique jewelry, making it a great shopping destination for couples to find gifts that last a lifetime.
A good tour company will make sure you have everything you need for a private dining experience in the desert, such as in Merzouga, where you can't buy wine or other supplies just around the corner. It has to be planned ahead of time, but your guide will make sure it's taken care of, and that you have a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

And, Morocco is more accessible for North Americans than often perceived, just a short flight across the Atlantic, and often a direct one if you're coming from a hub like New York, Washington DC or Montréal.

Morocco has tremendous appeal as a honeymoon, wedding or romantic destination, and if you haven't already, we encourage you to consider it for your next romantic getaway!
