We explored 5 cities across 7 days

We were welcomed to Rabat by Mohammed Metran; the UK ambassador of public affairs in morocco - watched France win the cup from poolside!

Toured Casablanca; visiting the world’s tallest Mosque ‘Grande Mosque Hassan II’ and the old Jewish quarter ‘Ben Jaber’ entering the historical ‘Beth el Synagogue’ which showed harmonious unity of two important Moroccan cultures

Spent a magical afternoon in the peaceful botanical gardens designed by Yves saint Laurent ’Jardin Majorelle’ in Marrakech and were invited by famous photographer London based/ Larache born Hassan Hajjaj for an inspirational photoshoot day in his amazing Riad Yima.
