Visiting the Sahara desert in Morocco was a huge highlight of my trip! Being out there in the middle of nowhere surrounded by sand dunes as far as the eye can see is a mind-boggling experience. I definitely recommend taking the opportunity to ride through the dunes on a camel and spend a night under the stars in a traditional Berber camp.
Casablanca was my first destination as a solo female traveller and stepping off that plane was a hugely liberating step for me. In my dreams Casablanca had such a romantic feel to it, largely due to the hugely popular film of the same name which has frequently been touted as one of the most romantic films of all time. I was in for a huge shock however as nowadays Casablanca is known as the largest business and economic capital of Africa.
