With this article we take a little break from my world travel series. Last months I visited Morocco for 15 days and I just have to share some impressions and photos with you. For a long time it has been a dream of mine to visit and photograph the desert. While we travelled through Peru a few years a
At first, we had planned to go straight from Marrakesh to Fez. A stop in Rabat wasn’t even something we’d considered. We dreamed of mosaic-covered minarets resonating with the sound of the call to prayer, maze-like medinas that felt like a jump back in time, inviting bazaars and salesmen in traditi
In the final part of my Photographing Morocco series I show you Casablanca and Fes. Casablanca was our first stop after Essaouira - just a layover on our way to Fes.

There are four imperial cities in Morocco and Fez is one of them. Unlike Rabat, which is the country’s current capital city, or Marrakesh, which is Morocco’s tourist capital, Fez is still relatively preserved from mass tourism. Yet, one walk in its medina is enough to feel like you’ve jumped back i
One of the trickiest aspects of travel is knowing when to tip and how much. It is generally a good idea to do some research before you travel. Tipping culture changes from place to place and is often affected by tourism. While many cultures don't tip for things that we are used to tipping for (l
The Chellah Necropolis is a medieval necropolis located near the heart of Rabat, Morocco. Surprisingly, the ancient ruins rank as the second best place to visit in Rabat on TripAdvisor. So what ranks in first place? I had to know, since this was an awesome place to visit. Number One? The Tram
