When you go to bed tonight, dream of this

Tonight, while discussing the "sweetdreams" part of this blog, my friend suggested I share with you guys about Morocco.  To which I replied "UM thanks but no thanks".  Literally, two seconds later my phone rang, and a gentleman said "Look, I'm going to morocco and I need some help planning all this crap".  SIGN? I think so.  Morocco for some reason, has never really interested me, but while doing research with this gentleman, and looking at several things to do, places to explore, and where he should stay, I have to admit I got a bit intrigued. Morocco has several popular destinations, including Marrakech, Casablanca, Tangier, Fes, the Atlas Mountains, and Meknes. Morocco is also famous for its beaches and some the best seaside towns are represented by Essaouira, Tangier and Asilah.  Here I'll list some of the best things to do, should you find yourself in Morocco!

1. Get a scrub at a local Hammam
2. Take a cooking class
3. Get lost in the tanneries (Leather Bazaars that have been around since the midieval times)
4. Go surfing
5. Stay in a Riad(Traditional homes converted into hotels)

There are many things to do, I highly suggest adding this destination to your bucket list.  Also, learning how to cook traditional moroccan food, and soaking in a hammam sounds seriously relaxing/romantic.  I love the colors of Morocco, personally.  Hmmm I'll definitely be dreaming of this tonight.  Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, stay at the Amanjena Resort, in Marrakech.  This is the ONLY, I repeat only, Aman hotel on the entire continent of Africa.  So please, don't miss out on that opprotunity...and thank you. PS-Book your rooms there well in advance, they fill up quickly.  Book your rooms here: http://www.amanresorts.com/amanjena/home.aspx

Find yourself in Morocco? Here's some important things to consider:

You should be aware of religious sensitivities in Morocco.
Morocco has a poor road safety record.
You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling.
Local laws reflect the fact that Morocco is an Islamic country.
Homosexuality is a criminal offence in Morocco. Sexual relations outside marriage are also punishable by law.
