What this video covers

Nike and Flo, liveaboards currently based in Rabat, Morocco, embark on a three-week inland road trip through the country.0:06 The route includes visits to the imperial cities of Meknes and Fez, a drive through the Middle Atlas mountains, and a hike in the Todra Gorge.0:29 In Fez, the pair navigates the Medina’s labyrinthine streets, visits traditional leather tanneries, and learns to cook a lamb and prune tagine with a local host.7:39 The journey continues through Ifrane, nicknamed Little Switzerland, and the Cedre Gouraud forest, before reaching the Todra Gorge for a 9-kilometre hike that climbs from 1,400 to 1,900 metres in elevation.9:21 Throughout the trip, the couple manages the logistical challenges of rental car bookings, varying personal expectations, and the needs of their two dogs. Nike ultimately abandons her "mood-o-meter" tracking system, concluding that attempting to fix a partner's low mood often creates unnecessary pressure during shared travel.16:28
