Dar Dar restaurant is lovely
Food at Comptoir Darna was wonderful but it felt very touristy compared to other restaurants
Our Atlas Mountains hike was amazing and being welcomed into the guide's village was memorable
Hammams, Dar El Bacha museum, The Secret Garden, dinner at Nomad and wandering near El Jardin area of the souk.
The Riad Baghala is an excellent Riad, very well decorated.
Zeitoun Café Kasbah is a very good restaurant in the area.
We did a walking tour of the Medina on day one, which was great to orient ourselves.
All the palaces (Badi and Bahia), the Saadian Tombs and especially the Jardin Secret are well worth a visit.
Wandering through the souks is, of course, a must!
We also walked to La Mamounia hotel, which is close to the Riad Serafine and definitely worth visiting even if just for a drink.
Café Zeitoun in the Kasbah is a great spot. A short walk away from the road and good value plus a nice terrace to have lunch at.
We also dined at Plus61 in Gueliz, great food.
The tour of the Medina was a highlight, as the local guide was exceptional. The Hammam was great and the Atlas Mountains a fantastic day out. NOMAD was also a favourite.
We loved going to the Medina. The shopping experience in Morocco was definitely our highlight, bartering with the local is a fun experience. We had to buy an additional suitcase to take all the good we bought back home.
We were blown away by the sheer beauty of the Agafay dessert just one hour away. We spent one night in a camp and witnessed one of the best Sunrise and sunset, it was magical. We did the hot air balloon experience in the early morning to catch the sunrise and camel ride in the evening during sunset—both were surreal experiences and I would definitely recommend it . We also visited the Yves Saint Laurent museum, the Majorelle Garden, the tombs, the palaces to name a few. The best experience though was the food…absolutely delicious.
