Magic of Morocco

/

I’ve had a strange love affair with Morocco since my early 20s… drawn to the colors, architecture, and tradition that made the country so exotic. During my RTW trip in 2015, I was finally able to spend time in Morocco and it was equally magical and maddening. It was the first country on my travels where I rented an apartment, found a routine, and didn’t fill my calendar with tourist must dos. In the 45 days I first spent in that country, my feelings for it swung between fear, frustration, infatuation, and awe. After 45 days, I was ready to leave but just as ready to go back. In starting Mumtaz Maroc, I want to take away the fear and frustration for travelers and just fill them with a sense of wonder and awe leaving them infatuated with the magic of Morocco.
