One of the reasons Morocco has become more and more popular lately is its recognition as a honeymoon destination. The combination of stunning landscape, distinct culture and an emphasis on design and aesthetics wherever you go: these are just the starting points.

When we then consider the increasing ease of getting to Morocco, with more direct flights from North America and Europe, improved travel infrastructure, and that distinct combination of accessible yet exotic, Morocco jumps out as a unique and exciting place to escape to after your big event.

Azdean appeared a few weeks ago on the Weddings 101 podcast, with host Kyleigh Grace, to chat about these highlights and more. Now, we're doing an episode swap here on the Destination Morocco podcast, since there was so much valuable information, and a fun conversation too!

What's really interesting is getting an outside, newcomer's perspective on travel to Morocco in general, with the added focus of honeymoon tips and advice. We chat about how couples can blend adventure with relaxation, what a truly immersive honeymoon looks like, safety and dress code tips, realistic budget expectations, what to ask for in accommodation, and how customized itineraries help couples experience Morocco like a local.

Azdean also breaks down unique romantic experiences, from private desert dinners to hammam spa rituals, cooking classes, hot air balloon rides, and more.

A Moroccan honeymoon will leave you particularly indelible memories, so whether you're just starting to plan or looking for insider expertise to elevate your trip, this episode will help you design a Moroccan honeymoon that’s unforgettable, meaningful, and perfectly tailored to you.

Our thanks to Kyleigh for this opportunity and for sharing her resources and insight!

"What's Going on in Morocco Right Now: Travel Updates from Marrakech"

Learn about the latest goings-on in Morocco, direct from the source: Azdean shares with us what tourism is like right now in Marrakech and beyond, as he calls in direct from the red city.

Our conversation today includes a summary of a group tour from Casablanca to Fez, driving down to Merzouga desert, through Dadès Valley and over the mountains to Marrakech. Along the way, the group stopped at a unique and secret cave dwelling, still inhabited, although at least a little modernized!

And a look at how to make dietary requests and come prepared when you travel here. Remember, on a tour your tour director will help make sure that ingredients and special supplies are accounted for, since Merzouga and the villages along the way are certainly quite isolated. Which is of course part of the attraction!

Azdean is there, on the ground as the African Cup completes its setup: there are football fans everywhere, and media from around the world there to cover the event.

As we enter 2026, we look at how busy the country expects to be, and why it may in fact be the best time to visit, because it's only going to get busier as the football World Cup approaches, and even more attention is focused on Morocco. Things are busy, but you can still get in before the crowds get even heavier.

Azdean even took a direct flight from Atlanta to Marrakech, thanks to the new service from Delta Airlines. With multiple options from the US and Canada to Casablanca and/or Marrakech, travel to Morocco is becoming even easier.

This is a special episode for us: although we've done some extra bonus episodes and live q&a replays, we consider this one to be our official 100th episode! Thank you to our wonderful listeners and viewers who have been there on this nearly four year journey, we're proud to be the trailblazing podcast for travel in Morocco, and are excited for more great topics and guests to come in the new year!

"Discover a Real Morocco Cooking Class Experience"

After the inspiring ideas of our last episode, 'Food Travel in Morocco: What to Order When You Visit', this week we take you a step further, into an actual Moroccan kitchen!

The hosts at Riad Ghita in Fès welcome us behind the scenes for a genuine Moroccan cooking class, where we put together the ingredients for a lamb tagine, Moroccan salads, camel skewers and more.

Discover the authentic, natural ingredients that go into real Moroccan cooking, all freshly sourced from the medina in Fes. You'll see Azdean and the team shopping and gathering everything they need, and then meeting in the riad's modern kitchen to start preparing.

Go beyond the recipe websites and witness an actual cooking class, recorded live on location in Fes, and learn how to put the recipes together, just like a local.

You can book a class like this too, whether in Fez, Marrakech, Essaouira, or anywhere else in Morocco that puts its own distinct twist on national cuisine. Cooking classes can easily be integrated into your itinerary, and leave you with lasting skills that you can put into action when you're back home, not to mention the indelible memories.
