Imagine waking up in the morning to the sound of the muezzin and sunlight pouring through the windows. You rouse, stretch, and listen to the sounds before padding out of bed. Dressing for desert heat means dressing light, and a linen top and linen pants will do. Savor a cup of mint tea and slip on a pair of sandals before you head out the door with a scarf, pair of sunglasses, and watercolor supplies
You find yourself lost at the souk purchasing far too many kaftans, scarves, and maybe even one of those metal lanterns. On your way back, you toss a shawl over your shoulders, cover your hair, and stop by the local mosque to marvel over the architecture. All the geometry has inspired your next painting, so you leave and settle at a cafe for another cup of tea and some quiet time. Before you know it, the sun is dropping and your stomach starts to rumble. You head back and change into a flowing navy maxi dress and a pair of turquoise earrings for a shared meal outdoors in the courtyard.
Today’s post comes to you with a healthy dose of wanderlust. Morocco is high up there on the list of dream vacations for me. If you’re as intrigued by it as I am, you might be interested in Maryam Montague‘s Marrakesh by Design
Jess, you’re giving me the travel bug! This sounds like a dream vacation. Also, I absolutely love the patterns, color, and structure in Moroccan design.
Morocco has been a dream vacation of mine as well!!! Take me with you when you go? I love the vivid picture you painted today…I feel like I went on a mini-escape with my morning coffee.
I also love Moroccan design, I did my guest bath in Moroccan theme…World Market has some good pieces if you are looking!

You have such a way with words that paints a lovely picture. It sounds like there are many of us that want to go to Morocco. I vote for a blogger field trip!
I’ve been enamored with Morocco for awhile now. I think we should go together ;)
This sounds amazing- and I’m in LOVE with that navy maxi dress!
Dying to go there. Great pics and visual story telling!
Yes, yes, yes. This series is amazing.
