An Unforgettable Morocco Group Trip with Limitless Planet

Back in November, we trekked across the ocean to head to one of our favorite destinations—Morocco. The group trip was one that we can’t stop talking about—a captivating adventure that pushed boundaries, tantalized taste buds (lots of them!), and left a massive impression on everyone at the end. From camel rides into the Sahara to hidden gems like the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and the culinary delights of Cafe Arabe, the group trip was truly one for the books.

Riding into the Sahara: A Sunset Spectacle

The thrill of riding camels into the Sahara during sunset is an experience that we can’t even begin to describe—we know, we know. The moment the town disappears behind the dunes, and the vastness of the Sahara unfolds, is nothing short of magical. The wind whipping off the dunes and moments of serene stillness remind you of the wild beauty that exists in the world—a truly unforgettable adventure.

Yves Saint Laurent Museum: Beyond Fashion

Marrakesh's Yves Saint Laurent Museum instantly became a group favorite, not just for the fashion-forward but for all of us. The location showcases a museum dedicated to Berber artifacts, clothing, and jewelry—an enriching exploration of Morocco's cultural tapestry and so much more.

Culinary Delights and Rooftop Views

For those seeking aperitivo or lunch recommendations, Cafe Arabe is a must-visit. With its charming courtyard and a rooftop bar offering panoramic views of the medina, it's the ideal spot to catch the sunset.

Must-Try Dishes

Olives with Harissa: A tantalizingly salty and spicy snack.

Moroccan Pastillas: A savory meat pie filled with chicken, spices, and nuts, reminiscent of Moroccan wedding traditions.

A practical tip: Ensure you have plenty of coins and small bills to navigate Morocco's tip culture smoothly.

Surprising Discoveries: Moroccan Wine

Morocco may not have a heavy drinking culture, but don't let that deter you from trying Moroccan wine. While not served in all local restaurants, seize the opportunity when you find it on the menu. Always be respectful, considering the varying drinking habits of Moroccans.

Is This Trip for Everyone? Absolutely!

With an open mind, this trip caters to everyone—from the adventurer ready to ask, "How did I get myself into this?" to the culture enthusiast winding through medinas and souks. Morocco offers an authentic sensory overload, making it a perfect fit for foodies, fashion enthusiasts, and history lovers alike. Embrace the adventure, and you'll find something tailored just for you.

Favorite Oasis: Riad Joya in Marrakesh

Amidst the chaos of Marrakesh, Riad Joya was our favorite oasis. The unassuming door led to a serene courtyard, providing some much-needed quiet to those who needed time away from the city's sensory overload. With an on-site Hammam Spa and delectable cuisine, Riad Joya is more than a hotel—it's a sanctuary.

A tapestry of adventure, culture, and sensory delights. From camel rides under the Sahara sun to tranquil moments at Riad Joya, every experience made us want to come back for more.
