What's all the fuss with Morocco?

Even though long weekends in Morocco are packed to the brink with activities - camel rides in the Atlas Mountains, nature hikes and swimming in waterfalls, spice markets, hammam spa treatments, comical run-ins with locals, carriage rides in Jamaa el Fna and incredibly delicious Moroccan cuisine- a single long weekend is just a teazer for SnoworSand guests in Morocco. A few days are just enough to make to take over your mind so you think of nothing else than returning to the magical country to wander the souks, experiment the entire range of Moroccan cuisine, drink sweet mint tea, lose yourself in the rhythmic tones of the call-to-prayer, and of course, hang out with our local experts, Simo and Khalid.

Last weekend, Simo and Khalid had an interesting experience - SnoworSand guests actually cried in the van ride to the airport. They cried at the airport as they checked in at the ticket counter. And then they cried again as they said goodbye to Simo and Khalid. But it was the good kind of crying, said one guest upon arriving back to Florence, who purportedly shed tears as the plane took off from the Marrakech.

The general consensus amongst our guests is that one long weekend in Marrakech isn't enough. Fortunately, it's easy enough to come back. Simo and Khalid are always excited to host as many guests as possible so they can share their passion for Moroccan history and culture and demonstrate that their country is safe and open to all cultures and peoples.
