I searched this forum and didn't find anything. I am pretty sure that we are going on our honeymoon there because I wanted to go somewhere I haven't been and somewhere that has good weather in August. I can't find much info. about it though.

Yes - marrakech last year and it was fabulous!!! That said, it was a reward trip and we travelled in style. I would highly recommend le sultana hotel & spa. It may be a scary trip for someone who has never travelled. My dad lives in Asia and it was similar to that experience. PM me if you have specific questions.

tangier is totally seedy, but it's a great jumping point to get into europe

I traveled to Morocco two years ago during the springtime and loved it! I flew into Marrakesh in central Morocco. It was a bit of culture shock at first but amazing to visit the souks and markets, especially Djemaa el Fna, and see the beautiful architecture. I'd recommend staying at a riad with an interior courtyard/garden. Communication was generally easy, although it helps to know a little bit of French in Marrakesh. Also, it's probably good to respect local culture and not wear clothing that's too revealing.

 

I agree that Tangier tends to be a bit more generic since it's a port city and so close to Europe. It was awesome to take the ferry into Sevilla, Spain though!

 

The hardest part for me was probably the food. I loved Moroccan cuisine going into the trip, but it was tough eating it for all meals every day for almost 2 weeks.

 

Morocco is a beautiful and unique country, and the people are friendly (barring super-touristy areas). You'll have a wonderful time!

 

Happy honeymoon-ing!

I've always, always wanted to go to Marrakech!!! Everyone I know says it is about the most amazing place they've ever been to. But they also say to avoid Tangier if you can.

 

I'm so jealous!!

HI there ! I personnally think Morocco is the nicest of the North African countries. Marrakech is definitely worth it. I was less happy about the sea-side destinations (Agadir for instance). If you're not used to travelling be prepared for a cultural shock - people can be very insisting with tourists and you will receive a lot of attention from men. Not a good place to hang out by yourself - prefer to always stay with your man !

 

You might find that August is a bit hot (this is the hottest month there).

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
