I'm in Morocco planning my friend's bachelorette party. Based on my online research, we explored the Chowara Tannery and witnessed the leather-making process. We also explored the medina, bargained with shopkeepers, and had lunch at Fondue Bazaar. For the night, we had a 1,001-night theme party which turned out to be amazing. The good was the party and experiencing Moroccan culture. The bad was getting lost and seeing sick kittens. Overall, my online research paid off. Stay tuned for the last day. So, I'm in Morocco planning my friend Fatima's bachelorette party. I didn't hire anyone to help, so this whole trip is based on my online research and reviews. Kind of like an experiment. It could be amazing or a disaster. The plan is to show you the good, the bad, and whether all my online research really paid off. We started the day with breakfast on the terrace at the Ria, soaking in the view before heading out to explore. First stop, the Chowara Tannery, a UNESCO must-see. We turned it on Google Maps, but this is such a maze, and we got lost quickly. A guide offered to guide us, and even though some people do this for tips or to bring it to their shops, we decided to say yes. The smell of the tannery was intense. When you enter, they hand you with a spring of mint to help you with the scent. We made our way up to the terrace, and the view was unreal. It felt like stepping into another world. Watching the whole process was fascinating. They use pigeon poop to soften the leather, and then move it through different vats to dye it with natural color. Our guide then brought us to his shop as expected, and we got to see their argan oil products. They explain the process of making the oil, and to produce just one liter by hand takes about 20 hours. Talk about dedication. After that, we took some time to explore the medina, wandering through the silk, and bargaining with the shopkeepers. It is all part of the experience. It is also full of cats, lousy kittens, and many of them are sick, which is heartbreaking to see. For lunch, we went to the Fondue Bazaar, a terrace with an amazing view of the medina, where a delicious Lorocan meal was waiting for us. By then, we were all exhausted and ready to recharge after we ate before the evening. For the night, I planned a 1,001-night theme party. Not going to lie, I was a bit nervous because even though the restaurant replied quickly by email, they didn't send photos of the Moroccan outfits I requested. So it was a bit of a gamble. Either it will go perfectly, or it will be a disaster, but one way or another, I knew we would have fun. When we arrived, the restaurant was beautiful. They have set up a private space for us, greeted us with a mint tea, and led us to change. I have to say, the quality of the outfit was amazing. A traditional Moroccan group arrives, and the party kicks off with music, dancing, and even a DJ who mixes the Moroccan tunes with Italian and Latin hits. It was unforgettable. The good, the party, hands down. It exceeded my expectations, and everyone had a blast. The bad? Getting lost on the way to the tannery. Seeing so many sick kittens in the medina, it really broke our hearts. Did my online research pay off? Yes. We loved the magic of this. The tannery was unforgettable, and the party at the Batsada felt like a dream. We really got to dive into the Moroccan culture. Stay tuned for the last day.
