Wear More and Pack Less for Morocco

Aviator:

Heartsill Ragon

Where did you last travel?

Morocco

Highlights and/or must see locations:

Hiking in the Atlas Mountains and Chefchaouen, the Blue City.

Tips and tricks for fellow travelers:

Travel first to Marrakesh, hit the Atlas Mountains, and then wind your way back to the north.

Food/drink recommendations:

As a reminder, liquor is not routinely served in restaurants.

Which Aviator products did you wear and were they helpful?

Faded Indigo Jeans. The zipper pockets were great. Never had to worry about losing wallet or passport. The Air Dry Merino Wool Travel T-Shirts are also a great way to pack less and wear more. 

Anything else you’d like to share:

Marrakesh and Casablanca are extremely large and modern cities. While they certainly have their ancient and historic areas, I enjoyed a number of the smaller communities scattered in the more rural parts of the country.

Extra Tips from Aviator:

If you're planning a visit to Morocco, it's important to account for Ramadan. Many restaurants, markets and businesses may be closed during the holiday. It’s also worth noting that shops and attractions may be closed on Fridays because it’s a holy day. 

Heartsill visited the Chefchaouen, nicknamed "the blue city." It's a beautiful place and absolutely worth adding to your itinerary. If you're able to spend the day in Chefchaouen, take a hike up to the Akchour Falls. Tucked in the Rif Mountains and surrounded by lush forest, it's a beautiful hike that takes about two hours roundtrip.
