This beautiful castle is on my tour of Morocco.

Two dates coming up September 27, 2025 and March 28, 2026.

CNN has named Morocco’s iconic Ksar Aït Ben Haddou one of the 21 most beautiful castles in the world. Featured alongside Japan’s Himeji Castle and Germany’s Neuschwanstein, the ksar stands out as the only African site in the ranking, and one of just two from the Arab world.

In its June 10 feature, CNN praised the selected castles for their blend of military fortification and residential grandeur. Aït Ben Haddou, described as a massive earthen structure on the edge of the Sahara, earned recognition not only for its unique architecture but also its cinematic appeal, having hosted the filming of major productions such as Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Man Who Would Be King.

Built in the 17th century as a caravan stop between Marrakech and Sudan, it continues to welcome visitors through its traditional Berber guesthouses.

🚀 Almost Full! 2025 Trips Await! -

This past year, I’ve been reminded of the true joy of bringing people together with travel: seeing friendships bloom long after our trips, hearing about reunions where groups reminisce over camel rides or navigating bustling markets filled with fresh herbs and spices. It’s those late-night conve...

Just saw this on my Facebook newsfeed. Had to share! 💖
*** Try to travel, otherwise
you may become racist,
and you may end up believing
that your skin is the only one
to be right,
that your language
is the most romantic
and that you were the first
to be the first.
Travel,
because if you don't travel then
your thoughts won’t be strengthened,
won’t get filled with ideas.
Your dreams will be born with fragile legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows, and in those who invent enemies
that fit perfectly with your nightmares
to make you live in terror.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say good morning to everyone
regardless of which sun we come from.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say goodnight to everyone
regardless of the darkness
that we carry inside
Travel,
because traveling teaches to resist,
not to depend,
to accept others, not just for who they are
but also for what they can never be.
To know what we are capable of,
to feel part of a family
beyond borders,
beyond traditions and culture.
Traveling teaches us to be beyond.
Travel,
otherwise you end up believing
that you are made only for a panorama
and instead inside you
there are wonderful landscapes
still to visit.
