It must have been only two days into my long weekend trip to Marrakech when I had decided that I wanted to come back to Morocco. Marrakech was fascinating and quickly became one of my favourite cities in the world despite the craziness that came with it. I knew that Morocco was full of other amazing places which I was longing to explore. I wanted to see the grand Sahara desert with my own eyes, have a proper camel ride there and sleep under the stars. I wanted to visit the coast and try the freshest seafood in Essaouira.
I wanted to see the blue city β Chefchaouen and find out if it was really as blue in real life as it was in pictures. I wanted to go to the ancient city of Fes and get immersed in its vibrant souks with an old-world atmosphere. I wanted to get pampered in a hammam Moroccan spa for the first time. I wanted to eat more of those flavourful tagines, taste different types of delicious bread all over again and drink the refreshing mint tea. And I wanted to do it alone.
I wanted to see what Morocco was like when I was there for longer than a weekend and when I was entirely on my own. So I embarked on a two-week solo trip to this African country even after reading about some bad experiences of other females , and I was so glad that I did. During my two week trip, I spent less time in Marrakech because I have been there before. Instead, I had an extra night in Chefchaouen and Fes. Check out the itinerary that I came up with and decide for yourself which cities attract you more than others.
