Guelmim, Gateway to the Sahara

We stayed in numerous cities in Morocco, and I’d have to say that Guelmim was probably my favorite place. Essaouira was a close second, but mostly because they have a great beach, and I’m quite partial to beaches. While other areas of Morocco are amazing and definitely unique experiences, I loved Guelmim the most because it was extremely authentic.

A Letter to Morocco

Dear Maroc, I hope it’s okay to call you that. I know it’s only been 2 months, but I feel like we’ve shared enough to be on a more personal basis. May I just start by saying how much you confuse and amaze me?  I’m pretty adept at picking up on cultures and things, and well, every time I think I’ve got you nailed down you laugh a little and surprise me.  Good for you! One thing has really struck me about...
