Born and raised in Morocco, I covered most of my Moroccan experiences under We Travel with my kids. The Me travel covers my trips abroad Morocco as far as my memory allowed me to capture details, been to 16 countries so far, mostly in solo mode, but also with friends, organized trips by agencies or myself.
Egypt
π My first travel abroad ; 2004
π Been to Cairo, Aswan, Wadi EL Moulouk, Hurguada, Sharm EL Cheikh
π¦ Organized Trip
πTips : My travel was long time ago, the country was more stable and safe, even if moving from one city to another, you need to be escorted by police. Follow @asmaawk, the founder of les voyageuses group, she has more up-to-date views and feedback from the country visit
France
π My first travel in Europe in 2005, been there several times
π Been to Paris, Montpellier, Amiens , Dunkerque
π¦ Organized Trips by Me and Business Trips too
πTips : If your budget permits, do a night cruise in The Seine, Paris monuments and surroundings by night are magical. If you don't want to stand the long queues to be on top of Eiffel Tower, Triumphal Arch of the Star can give you the same views
Spain
π Spent a year studying Spanish before my 1st travel in 2010, been there several times
π Been to Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Granada
π¦Organized Trip by Me
πTips : For small budget, long weekend plan, buy an early Ryanair ticket Rabat to Seville, and move to the city you want with Flixbus. Visiting around Christmas time have different flavor with all lights and streets concerts than the summer one
UK
π My expat destination if only the weather was not that froggy
π Been to London couple of times
π¦Business Trip with extended weekends to visit
πTips : If visiting in Winter, it gets dark very quickly and that can be upsetting for people coming from Sun countries. So many attractions can be visited in the same districts, just plan your days ahead of time to combine them and optimize your budget
Italy
π My first travel in Boat when Italy won the World Cup; 2006 then in 2015
π Been to Genova, Milan, Firenze, Pise, Venise, Trevisio, Verona, Sirmeone, Sienne, Romes, Vatican

Slovakia
π Just 1h drive from Vienna, Visited once in 2011
π Been to Bratislava
π¦Business Trip with visits off work
πTips : If you're planning the famous Budapest, Prague & Vienna itinerary, I would recommend to stop by for 1 day visit, Bratislava Castle, the old town little streets, the Danube river ...
Netherlands
π My last travel before Salma's birth at 7 months pregnancy, 2014
π Been to Amsterdam
π¦Business Trip with extended weekend to visit
πTips : Pick an accommodation near the canals and central station, all must attractions can be done by simple walks all around, and watch your way, bicycles are everywhere :)
Germany
π Been there in 2015
π Been to Frankfurt
π¦Business Trip with visits off work
πTips : I stayed nearby the Office outside the city, so I had been able to visit the city center just few hours with my colleagues; walking in the historical center, visit St Paul's Church, shopping, β¦ If you love chocolate, it's the city of Kinder Museum
Ireland
π One of the most naturally beautiful countries
π Been to Dublin couple of times, last time in 2018
π¦Business Trip with extended weekends to visit

India
π If kindness is a country instead of a simple word!! 2011
π Been to Delhi, Agra, Bangalore, Mysore
π¦Business Trip with Organized visits by Locals
πTips : You need to visit this country being very open minded, ready to embrace local culture and respect differences. They have nothing and they give you everything
UAE
π Been there 3 times; 2011, 2013 and 2016, last time I was 4months pregnant
π Been to Dubai
π¦Business & Personal Trip
πTips : Avoid summer time as it's too hot. If you're just in long transit via Dubai, you can get a 96hours transit visa at the airport and plan a city tour via the hotel (It costs around 25$)
Jordan
π Been there twice; 2016 & 2018
π Been to Amman, Jerash, Dead Sea, Petra, Monte Nebo, Wadi Rum
π¦Business Trip with extended weekends to visit
πTips : A swim in the dead sea is a must, book in advance your spot via hotels, and spend the night at Wadi Rum if your schedule allows, the desert views are stunning. Use a personal driver to make the most of your visits
Turkey
π Visited Once 2008 and can't wait to be back
π Been to Istanbul, Bursa
π¦Organized Trip
πTips : It's all about what attracts you more to Turkey. If shopping, google all the malls in advance and make your plan. If Ottoman dynasty, make the most of Istanbul must-sees and more. If nature, little villages, follow @asmaawk and @asmaetou, I'm making my next plans based on their experiences
USA
π My first 21Kms walk in a day (NewYork NewYork); 2017
π Been to Boston and New York
π¦Business Trip with extended weekends to visit
πTips : Leverage Free Walking Tours to learn more about the places, I've done it for Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge and Downtown Manhattan. Google if any UN events are happening in your desired period of stay, hotel costs can go very crazy and traffic restricted in Manhattan
South Africa
π 17hours flight via Dubai, but worth it !! 2019
π Been to Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, Simon Town (Boulder Beach), Muizenberg
π¦Business Trip with Organized visits by Me during off work time

Greece
π Total immersion in the Antient Greek !! 2019
π Been to Athens, Paros, Mykonos, Santorini

πTips : If you're passionate about history, 3 days is the minimum stay in Athens to enjoy all attractions. Also, lodging at Santorini and Mykonos can be very expensive, instead you can stay in any island nearby, and plan a day visit
