From the publisher's feed
Morocco Travel Podcast is a grounded, unhurried series about a country where the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts frame two very different edges, the Rif and Atlas Mountains break up the interior, and the desert reaches south to the Sahara. The show is shaped by living in Morocco over years, not by a checklist.
Over the series, Youssef moves from Tangier to Fes, then south through Agadir and into the Draa Valley, letting each place set the pace. He returns to markets, ferry ports, mountain paths and fishing harbours. The coastal cities, the imperial cities and the Saharan palm groves all appear as working places rather than backdrops.
The show unfolds across seasons, from foggy Atlantic nights to dry desert days, and back to the green months in the Atlas valleys. Youssef returns to Tangier, Fes and the Draa Valley, noticing how each place changes, until the map becomes something lived rather than visited.
Youssef Benali lives in Morocco and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Youssef is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
