On the fly I was pulled into a birthday bash in Marrakech with a friend and she suggested to we do a rapid tour of Morocco before the big party. I first of all looked at the flights for the most strategic route and found Royal Air Maroc had the only non-stop NY-Casablanca flight, which saves hours spent detouring through Europe.

Fortunately, one of my old friends lives in our destination of Casablanca. The flight's not that bad really --

The resort of Mogador located three kilometres away from the town of Essaouira and 10 minutes drive from the airport opened its doors in an exceptional natural setting

Set on six hundred hectares of forest domain, the new Mogador Essaouira resort is bordered with a magnificent natural dune and four kilometre of an untapped wild beach!
