From racing dune buggies to witnessing the clearest Milky Way imaginable, the Sahara is a world of its own. Unlike the rocky Atacama, Merzouga is an ocean of sand. The camel ride was overrated, but the star-filled nights were absolutely unforgettable—I still have a stiff neck from looking up!
In Tangier, I took on my next adventure: renting a car to drive in Moroccan traffic. In general, the roads and the number of petrol stations are very good. But the traffic sometimes drove me crazy! A red light is never really a red light; sometimes it just means “whoever gets there first.” Also, the …
From the disappointment of Casablanca to the elegance of Rabat: my train journey up the Moroccan coast was full of surprises. While Casablanca offered only the stunning Hassan II Mosque, Rabat felt like home, and Tangier brought luxury and San Francisco vibes. A perfect mix of history, architecture, and ocean views.
