Discovering Morocco with Emile Weber: A Journey Through Culture and Beauty
October 23, 2024
Each year, as part of our annual group trip, we set out to explore new destinations, immerse ourselves in unique cultures, and capture stunning landscapes during photoshoots with our models. This year, inspired by the theme of Top Model Academy Luxembourg, "The Thousand and One Nights," it was clear that our destination would be either the Middle East or North Africa. Ultimately, we were drawn to the enchanting allure of Morocco.
Given the scale and complexity of this project, we knew we needed a travel partner we could trust to provide a seamless experience for our group. Emile Weber was the obvious choice, having delivered outstanding service on previous trips. Their expertise in group travel, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to tailor the journey to our specific needs made them the perfect partner.
Why We Chose Emile Weber
Customized Group Travel: Emile Weber took our initial list of destinations and designed a bespoke road trip that allowed us to experience the very best of Morocco. Their ability to manage the logistics of a large group, from transportation to accommodations, was essential to the success of our trip.
Exceptional Coordination: From the outset, Emile Weber ensured everything ran smoothly. They arranged for a fantastic guide, Abdou, along with a skilled team, including Abdel, our bus driver, and Bamou, his assistant. They coordinated not only our travel itinerary but also our photoshoots at each location—from the cities to the desert. Their foresight and flexibility made all the difference, whether it was retrieving forgotten camera equipment in the desert or finding solutions to unexpected challenges. The entire team worked together seamlessly, ensuring our experience was flawless from start to finish.
Personalized Service: Emile Weber not only handled our transportation and accommodations but also coordinated the many logistical elements required for our photoshoots. This allowed us to focus fully on enjoying the journey and creating lasting memories with our models.
Our First Group Trip to Morocco
Although we had worked with Emile Weber on previous trips, this was our first group adventure in Morocco. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in good hands. The trip began with our guide, Abdou, greeting us at the airport, and from there, we embarked on a nine-day journey that took us to some of Morocco's most iconic destinations, including Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, and the Sahara Desert.
Despite the long distances between destinations, Emile Weber ensured that every part of our journey was comfortable. The luxurious hotels we stayed in, along with the carefully planned stops, made even the longest bus rides enjoyable.
Highlights of Our Trip
A Road Trip Across Morocco: We explored the diverse landscapes of Morocco, from the vibrant streets of Casablanca to the tranquil blue city of Chefchaouen, all while gaining deep insights into the local culture through our guide, Abdou.
A Desert Adventure in the Sahara: One of the most unforgettable moments of the trip was a surprise Emile Weber helped us arrange for our group—a thrilling 4x4 journey through the Sahara Desert, leading to an overnight stay in a royal desert camp. Our models even had the chance to wear traditional oriental clothing for a unique photoshoot under the stars.
Experiencing Moroccan Traditions: From visiting a local Argan oil cooperative, where we learned about the production of this prized oil, to witnessing the sacred rituals of Ramadan in Marrakech, every moment brought us closer to the heart of Moroccan culture. The atmosphere during the evening call to prayer, followed by the breaking of the fast, was both solemn and joyful, offering us a rare and intimate glimpse into everyday life during this special time. These authentic experiences made our trip even more enriching and unforgettable.
