Honeymoon Ideas – Spicing Up Your Honeymoon: Morocco

Today we are talking Honeymoons again with our monthly honeymoon feature. last time we went across to Africa for a spot of glamping, today as I have recently booked a holiday with Nik to Marrakech I thought it would be quite fitting to cover Morocco as a honeymoon destination. Set in North Africa, Morocco is hot in summer yet still warm enough in winter to visit and it is only 3 hours away, so you could go for a week, two weeks ro just a long weekend. There is a variety fo things to do and places to visit while you are there so today the lovely people at Luxe Travel will explore this amazing country and tell you the best places to look out for.

 

Morocco

 

Your wedding day is all about you, and the honeymoon is the perfect celebration of your special love. Celebrate your once-in-a-lifetime special day with a uniquely exotic honeymoon to lovely Morocco. Stroll through a bazaar, see local carved art at the Museum of Moroccan Arts, and be seduced by the brilliant scents of authentic Moroccan spices, all while hand-in-hand with the one you love.

Marrakech
This “Pearl of the South” offers a variety of architectural attractions within its medina, the older walled section of Marrakech. To view examples of 12th-century Islamic architecture, visit the minaret at Koutoubia Mosque and Dar Si Said. Then tour the Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, and Djemaa el-Fna Square. You’ll also have the option of joining a philanthropy effort at a Marrakech shelter assisting homeless and destitute children.

For a second day in Marrakech, join a cooking class with a local chef and then take a private tour just for the two of you through the stunning Menara Gardens and Majorelle Garden. Enjoy a romantic dinner afterwards where you and your new spouse will be serenaded with a lute and entertained by belly dancers while a serene fountain trickles in the background.

    Morocco might not seem the typical honeymoon destination, but the country is so rich in different and dramatic natural landscapes, beautiful architecture that is should be consider as honeymoon. The most popular is probably the desert tours to Morocco where one stays in the tent (can be even luxury tents) and star gaze at the bright night African sky and in the mornings awakes to the sun lifting its face over the sand dunes coloring them into many variety of colors.
