There’s something rather lovely about a Saturday morning coffee, the weekend papers and finding an article that transports you somewhere else entirely.

Lyndey Milan OAM shares her love of Morocco in Escape. The ancient ruins of Volubilis, mint tea, wonderful food, and the places that make travelling here so memorable.

It’s particularly lovely to see this now, just after Lyndey was named Entrepreneur of the Year 👏

You can still join her and her guests in October for a magical Culinary & Cultural Tour.

Lyndey writes about Ryad Salama in Fes, and we’re very happy that she’ll be returning there with us, one of our favourite riads in Morocco, and exactly the kind of place we love choosing for our guests: intimate, characterful and with a real sense of place.

Thank you to lizbondwriter for such a beautiful feature.

And now, back to more coffee… 🇲🇦☕️

One of August’s most memorable moments may happen after dark ✨

The Perseid meteor shower will be at its best around 12 and 13 August, with excellent viewing conditions before dawn.

Away from the city lights, Morocco offers some wonderful places to look up, from quiet valleys of the Atlas to the vast landscapes of the Sahara.

A night in the desert is not about where to sleep. It is dinner beneath the stars, silence after sunset, the pleasure of having nowhere else to be.

Where would you like to watch the night sky from? 🌌

🎬 Morocco has long captivated filmmakers with its extraordinary landscapes and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is the latest production to bring them to the big screen.

From the timeless earthen architecture of Aït Ben Haddou to the Atlantic charm of Essaouira, the vibrant energy of Marrakech and the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, Morocco offers a remarkable diversity of scenery, history and culture that has inspired storytellers for generations.

The images in this post feature some of our favourite locations from the film and places we love sharing with our travellers.

While other filming locations have prompted public debate, we’d simply like to celebrate these remarkable places and Morocco’s enduring place in the world of cinema.

What a weekend it’s been! For a few days every June, the streets of Essaouira come alive with the hypnotic rhythms of the Gnaoua Festival.

Morocco’s laid back Atlantic city transforms into one giant open-air stage. Music echoes through the medina, concerts spill into the beaches and ancient ramparts, and locals and travellers celebrate together in an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.

Born from centuries-old African spiritual traditions, Gnaoua music is a mesmerising blend of deep bass rhythms, castanets, chanting and dance. Originally performed as a healing and ceremonial practice, today it continues to captivate audiences from around the world while embracing collaborations with jazz, blues, flamenco and contemporary artists.

If this year’s festival has inspired your wanderlust, now is the time to start planning for next June. Combine the magic of the Gnaoua Festival with Morocco’s vibrant cities, dramatic landscapes and unforgettable hospitality for a journey you’ll never forget.

Who’s adding the Gnaoua Festival to their travel bucket list? 🇲🇦🎶

As the crescent moon ushers in another year, may it bring peace, purpose and blessing to all who celebrate 🌙

The first day of the Islamic calendar is a time for prayer, gratitude and gathering with family. Not every new year begins with fireworks!

There’s something truly magical about cooking with ras el hanout, a Moroccan spice blend whose name means “top of the shop,” capturing the very best a spice merchant has to offer.

I love using it in this chicken dish, where the spices gently infuse the meat with warmth, depth and just a hint of intrigue. It’s the kind of cooking that instantly transports you, straight to the markets and kitchens of Morocco.

And that’s exactly what inspired my next journey…Morocco 2026

Join me on a captivating Moroccan cultural & culinary adventure with a brand-new itinerary.
📍 12 Days / 11 Nights

We’ll wander through fragrant souks, discover regional spice blends, and share unforgettable meals along the way.

While winter settles in across Australia, summer is arriving in Morocco. ☀️

Long days beneath blue skies, evenings on rooftop terraces, Atlantic breezes in Essaouira, and shady medinas filled with colour and life.

It’s the season for lingering over lunch, watching the sunset, and embracing Morocco’s relaxed summer rhythm.

If you’re dreaming of sunshine, Morocco is closer than you think.

As today marks Eid al-Adha, many families across Morocco and the wider Muslim world come together in celebration, reflection and generosity 🌙✨

Known as the ‘Festival of Sacrifice’, Eid al-Adha commemorates the story of faith, devotion and compassion at the heart of Islamic tradition. It is a time for prayer, family gatherings, sharing meals, and giving to those in need.

Shops, museums, galleries will be shut temporarily as families celebrate together. We greatly appreciate the understanding and flexibility of our guests where slight itinerary adjustments may be required to respect this special occasion.

To all those celebrating, we wish you and your loved ones a blessed and peaceful Eid, filled with joy, kindness and togetherness.

Beyond the medinas and the classic routes lies a quieter, deeply authentic side of Morocco ✨

Our newly crafted south-west journey ventures through the ochre ramparts of Taroudant, remote anti-Atlas landscapes, ancient Berber granaries, Atlantic wilderness, and the relaxed coastal charm of Essaouira.

Designed for travellers seeking something beyond the expected, this itinerary reveals a Morocco of hidden heritage, wildlife encounters, and slower travel.

From the striking rock formations near Tafraoute to birdwatching and safaris in Souss-Massa National Park, this is Morocco through a different lens: raw and unforgettable.
