I had been dreaming of traveling to Marrakech for a few years before my best friend Sarah and I finally booked our plane tickets about a year ago. Travel is expensive, and planning a vacation in a spot so far from home was initially a daunting task- but upon returning home and a few months of reflection, I honestly can't believe it took me so long to make this jaunt a priority.
Sarah and I ultimately started our trip in Istanbul last November, then went to Cairo, Egypt, and finally ended in Morocco. We were gone for 14 days total and both of us felt that gave us just enough time to see the highlights of these 3 locations. Sarah is a realtor and I couldn't bear to use all my vacation days on one trip, so we weren't able to stay longer than that- but I'm dying to get back to each spot at some point to dig in and stay a bit longer. While all three locations were wonderful and exotic in their own special ways, Marrakech was my ultimate favorite. Today, I wanted to share a little recap of our experience with you and a few things we learned along the way.
