Maghreb Voyager is a small editorial travel magazine covering Morocco — Marrakech and Fes, the High and Anti-Atlas ranges, the Sahara, and the Atlantic and Rif coasts. We started writing it because the Morocco we kept finding on the country's behalf, off the main routes and in conversation with people who actually live here, did not look like the Morocco being sold in glossy guidebooks.
Our editorial team is small. We are based in Marrakech and travel regularly to the places we write about. Several of us are Moroccan; the rest have lived here long enough to be reasonably trusted on local matters. We pay our contributors and we do not run sponsored content disguised as reporting.
Five categories, broadly: Marrakech, the Sahara and the desert south, the Atlas mountain ranges, the coastal towns of the Atlantic and the Rif, and the riads and family-run accommodation that have defined a generation of Moroccan hospitality. Within those, our preference is for the slower story — the village rather than the festival, the morning rather than the headline.
We do not write listicles. We do not write "ten things you must do" pieces. We do not write press-trip puff. If a riad invites us to stay, we say so and we still write what we think. If we recommend a co-operative or a guide, it is because one of our writers has used them. If we are unsure about something, we tell you.
Editorial pitches, corrections, and friendly disagreements are all welcome. Please write to us at [email protected]. We try to answer every email, though it sometimes takes a week or two.
