As a physician and health coach, I curate and lead wellness travel experiences for women around the globe. I’ve explored countless destinations, and Morocco remains one of my all-time favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many reasons why this magical country in northern Africa is such a hot travel destination. It has a vibrant culture, magnificent architecture and craftsmanship, stunning natural landscapes, delicious food, incredible hiking and unsurpassed hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While traveling in Morocco<\/a> as a woman is relatively safe and easy, I’ve learned quite a few helpful tips I now share with my guests to enhance their experience. From one girlfriend to another….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spices: Bring Zip-Lock Bags<\/h2>\n\n\n

Spices from the markets in Morocco are excellent and cheaper than at home. But they are sold in thin plastic bags that can stink up your luggage and clothes. On my first trip, I smelled like dinner for the last few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider bringing a couple of zip locks or vacuum-sealed bags and waiting to shop toward the end of your trip. A thin Sharpie or pen to write on the bags is also helpful since cumin and coriander can look similar once you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hammam: Take a Bikini Bottom<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Hammam is a ritual body scrub for women. If you go to a private hammam, you will most likely sit in a beautiful, tiled room with 1-3 other women wearing nothing but a bikini bottom. A woman douses you in hot water and exfoliates every visible inch of your skin with a mitt. In the end, you will feel like Cleopatra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have sensitive skin and motion for them to go a little bit lighter with me. Heads up, if you have had breast surgery with sensitive regions, motion for them not to scrub there. Bring a plastic bag for your wet bikini if you are on the move shortly afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oils: Buy From a Reputable Seller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jasmin-scented Argon oil, prickly pear oil, Neroli oil and rose oil are all amazing and a fraction of the cost from home. However, there is significant variation in quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are in Marrakesh<\/a>, visit the shop Herbalism<\/em><\/a> inside the medina. In addition to being of excellent quality and ethically sourced, they are very knowledgeable in natural medicine and will help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
