The Luxury Resort in the High Atlas Mountains

Nestled in the High Atlas mountains northeast of Marrakech is the Bin el-Ouidane reservoir, one of the largest lakes in Morocco. Surrounded by foothills, ravines and gorges, waterfalls and snowy peaks, this is one of the most visually stunning yet accessible areas in the country, with easy hiking trails and water activities. You might think therefore that it's a prominent stop on Morocco's tourist path, but it's not. Yet. Although well-located between Marrakech and Casablanca, it does represent a three hour detour. As highways and infrastructure continue to be upgraded, that will change. In the meantime, if you want luxury and comfort combined with a nature escape that combines lakes and mountains, before the crowds arrive, this is the place to go. Azdean and family stayed for one night at the Widiane Luxury Hotel and Spa. Built on a hillside overlooking the lake, with access to the water, the resort is one of the most impressive places to stay, not just at the lake but in all…

How to Find Authentic Argan Oil in Morocco

Discover the versatile and distinctly Moroccan product of Argan Oil in this episode of Destination Morocco podcast, recorded live at the Zin Cooperative, just outside of Essaouira. Argan oil can be pressed into both edible or cosmetic use, and our guest Chiadma explains the different methods of production, and how they know which is which. But we also talk about how to find authentic argan oil, because there are a lot of fake rip offs. Chiadma shares a story of how, before she started working at the co-op, even she succumbed to a too-good-to-be-true sale. Suffice to say, the oil didn't last very long. Good, quality Argan products need a high percentage of oil, and Chiadma explains what to look for. Discarded shells of the nuts are given to the famous tree-climbing goats, whom you might otherwise see along the highway from Marrakech to Essaouira, climbing trees in search of their own supply! Argan trees particularly thrive in the dry, Mediterranean-style climate of Essaouira, A…

How much does it cost to stay at a desert camp in Morocco? #moroccotravelguide #moroccopodcast

The desert camps in Merzouga desert, south-east Morocco, are an incredible experience: brilliant sunrises, dramatic sunsets, and then a clear sky full of stars, the ultimate dark-sky environment. Ok, but how much does it cost? Are there different standards between camps? What are the differences, and what do you get for the price? This clip shows the various options available for this one of a kind stay.

Why stay at a riad in Morocco instead of a hotel? #moroccotravel #moroccopodcast #moroccoriad

Morocco's riads are one of the truly defining characteristics of travel and culture in the country, something distinct and unique. Which kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it? Yet travelers sometimes are not convinced as to what makes riads special, and why they should choose a riad over a generic, brand-name hotel. This clip is a good introduction to the unique features and incredible value of riads.

Typical Travel Costs in Morocco

It can be hard to get a clear picture, so our episode today is here to help: "How much do things cost in Morocco?" As much as there's the standard answer, "It depends," we go a little deeper than that and try to frame costs around certain standards and levels of service. Whether that means different types of accommodation, the cost of meals at sit-down restaurants, do desert camps vary greatly in price, how much are activities such as a Hot Air Balloon ride, and lots more. There are a couple of possible yet unrelated preconceptions about Morocco that we should address. For one, folks might think that Morocco is a budget travel destination akin to Thailand or El Salvador, where your dollar goes very far, decent accommodation is well under $100/night, and an amazing meal costs $5. Well, that's not the case in Morocco, our costs aren't quite that low! Secondly, costs in Morocco might simply seem unknown, with no real frame of reference. Maybe it's expensive, maybe it's not, how can …
