The trip with Abercrombie & Kent was life-changing.
Destination of the Day
Morocco
Occupying the northwest shoulder of the African continent, Morocco is rich with history and full of color. For some, its essence can be found in the bustling souks and walled medinas of Imperial Cities like Marrakesh and Fez. For others, the country is typified by the plunging sand dunes, camel trains, and Bedouin villages of the Sahara Desert. There is something for every kind of traveler in Morocco. Foodies come to taste flavorful tagines cooked according to ancient recipes and couscous paired with meat and/or vegetable stew—Morocccan staples that can be enjoyed at any restaurant in the country. For culture vultures, the mosques, museums, and palaces of cities that date back to the eighth century are the main attraction. Meanwhile, nature lovers will find magnificent scenery from the wild beaches of the Atlantic coast to the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains.
Your Packing List
Morocco is a Muslim country and tourists should dress modestly to avoid causing offense. This is especially true for women, who should keep a shawl or scarf in their purse to wear over their hair when entering mosques and other religious sites.
Fall in Morocco is mild and dry, with average temperatures hovering around a pleasant 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and a light jacket are recommended, as well as any clothing you can layer: Evenings are significantly cooler for most of the country this time of year.
Bring any hiking gear you'll need for visiting the Atlas Mountains or swimwear you'll need for laying out by the sea.
Those looking to live well and live long should head for Costa Rica's Blue Zone on the Nicoya peninsula. "Blue Zones" are designated areas of the world where residents regularly live past the age of 100. Here in the Nicoya peninsula, you'll find a focus on health and wellness, which means plenty of organic and mindfully sourced eats, yoga, and meditation retreats, and the natural environment of sun, sea, and surf that's conducive to healthy living.
