Morocco Bound!

It’s official!  We’re headed for Morocco this summer with quite a crew in tow…3 families in addition to ours (yes, we’re crazy).  Since I haven’t been using my blog for anything else lately, I’m going to post information about the upcoming trip here so all of the travelers have access to it.

Our family will be in Morocco for a longer period, but for the crazy portion we will be spending 6 nights in our house in Mohammedia, 2 nights in Marrakech, 2 nights in Fez, and 1 night in Chefchaouen.  For the overnight trips I wanted to book guesthouses rather than hotels, in or near the medina (old part of town), but in a safe and not-too-noisy area.  I enlisted the help of the amazing Helen Ranger of Fez Riads, as she has visited each of the riads personally and was able to find the best fit for us.

In Marrakech, we will spend 2 nights at Riad Dar Sara, which has A/C and a plunge pool!

We will spend 2 nights in Fez, dividing our group between 2 riads that are located near each other – Dar Drissi and Dar el Menia.

In Chefchaouen we will stay one night at Casa Perleta (notice the Spanish word for “home” as we get closer to Spain).  I have never been to Chefchaouen, and my camera and I are SO EXCITED to visit this unique city (and not only because of the beautiful doors!).
