R. Crusoe On the Road: A Journey Through Morocco
R. Crusoe & Son travel advisor Rachel recently returned from Morocco, still glowing from the experience—sun-kissed, spice-scented, and filled with gratitude. Though she has arranged many journeys to Morocco over the years, nothing compared to seeing it through her own eyes. This particular trip was a full immersion into the vibrant heart of the country, leaving her already dreaming of a return.
In Marrakech, Rachel found magic around every corner. A warm, gracious guide and a kind, steady driver set the tone for a seamless experience. From the colorful chaos of the souks to the calm of rooftop sunsets, the city pulsed with life. Highlights included a joyful evening in the Agafay Desert—under the stars with music and laughter—and a soulful day in the Atlas Mountains, where a local family hosted an unforgettable lunch rich in flavor and hospitality.
Evenings brought candlelit tables, the rhythmic pulse of Gaweh music, and dishes that danced between traditional Moroccan and French-inspired cuisine. Each meal felt celebratory, especially when paired with surprisingly delightful local wines.
A breezy day trip to Essaouira offered a dose of coastal charm—sun-drenched cafés and a relaxed, bohemian vibe—while the final days in Casablanca delivered a stylish finish, complete with a visit to the awe-inspiring Hassan II Mosque and a taste of the city’s cosmopolitan energy.
Rachel described the experience as both freeing and grounding. Morocco’s rhythm—playful, poetic, and profound—stayed with her long after she returned home. She can’t wait to share that same sense of wonder with future travelers, guiding them into the soul of a destination that continues to capture her heart.
