Some journeys lead to the most magical moments, and traveling to Chefchaouen is one of them. The beautiful and relatively untouched city, known as the Blue Pearl of Morocco, is set amongst the stunning Rif Mountains and takes a 2-2.5 hour drive from Tangier. Many travelers, including myself, are drawn to the town's blue-washed buildings and streets, without expecting all of the magic within the history, culture, and people. 

Essaouira is a vibey coastal town just a short drive from Marrakech, making it the perfect city break. I took a day trip to stroll the quiet streets and enjoy the beach, and I easily could have stayed for several days. It is small but offers a lot, and as you near Essaouira, you'll feel the energy shift and your body relax into the slower pulse of life, making it hard to leave!

Morocco is full of endless beauty in the form of landscapes, culture, culinary masterpieces, and a unique blend of modern luxury set within old-world traditions. The allure of Morocco is the perfect harmony of serenity and chaos, mystery, and wonder that gives all who visit a complete sensory experience.
