Ep.124 Morocco surprised us with its clash of how its ancient traditions meet modern life. After 40 days exploring bustling souks and vibrant streets in Marrakech and Fes, and riding camels through the serene deserts and majestic Atlas Mountains, we've gathered 22 essential do's and don'ts. Discover the rich tapestry of Berber, Arab, and French influences that make Morocco a must-visit destination.

We visited Morocco from September 18 through October 18, 2024
