Why you Should Pick Morocco for your Mini-Moon

 

With so many things to do, planning a wedding can be A, very stressful and B, in the planning for years. You often start with a very simple well organized spread-sheet and end up with list after list, no wonder newlyweds can’t wait to jet off to their chosen honeymoon destination. However, over the last couple of years it has become increasingly popular for couples to postpone their honeymoon to a later date and instead take a “mini moon” just after the wedding.  So if you are a busy couple with work commitments or your purse strings are feeling the pinch, a mini moon would be a great choice for you.

Why should you pick Morocco for your honeymoon or mini moon?

Marrakech, often referred to as the mystical city, is definitely the place to be seen, and will have you hooked the minute you arrive. A visit to Jemma El Fna Square must be on your to do list, by day you will see a few stalls dotted about, but when night falls this square comes alive with market traders, street food, entertainers and of course a few snake charmers. A romantic way to take in all the medina has to offer is a ride in a horse drawn carriage.

Flights to Marrakech City are very accessible and offer breaks from as little as 2 nights and longer making a Morocco mini moon a great option for couples with limited time. The flight time is around 3 hours so you could be in the thick of all that Marrakech holidays have to offer in no time. And let’s not forget the great prices available too.
