We would like to think that we gain a little more experience every time we visit Marrakech and there are a few things now we have learnt that we just cannot do without.

Factor 50, you can never tell how hot it really is in Marrakech, on this trip I was late packing (AGAIN) and forgot my face cream. We arrived early and was served a fabulous breakfast on the roof of our riad. Within half hour my face was so warm and I must confess a little burnt, so this is a must have for sure.

Avéne thermal spring water spay perfect for both poolside and on the plane. I get very dehydrated when I fly this could be because I travel alot but I also suffer from dry skin and dry eyes. I find that spraying my face and neck during my flight helps not only to keep my skin feeling moisturised but also stops my eyes from drying out. I do not spray directly into my eyes of course I just mist my face.

Cashmere scarf great for the flight and great to throw round your shoulders when the temperature drops in the evening. I go nowhere without my cashmere scarf, it comes everywhere with me, in the car, on the plane, out for a meal, if you get a really good quality one it will last you forever and of course a neutral colour which will go with any outfit.

Olympus EPL7 such a amazing camera it is always in my bag and of course the 45mm lens a must have for those shots that deserve the blur. Olympus have made an amazing camera that is so easy to use for lets say the not so interested in how a camera really works blogger like me, I love taking pictures don’t get me wrong but I just do not have the patience to sit and read the instructions, I just want to point and shot and this is what this beauty does.

Over shoulder bag, this will make life so much easier for you, a zip up over the shoulder bag, it will keep your money and documents safe and at the same time your hands free to shop while in the Medina. The Souks can be so busy, I feel more at ease and comfortable with my bag over my shoulder and across my chest.

And finally, Levis shorts these versatile little beauties can be worn with flats during the day or heels for the evening, perfect for travelling with light hand luggage and to top it all off a good quality hat, great for wearing with sunnies at the airport when you have no make-up on, this is my old faithful but watch this space as we are about to collaborate with a fabulous new company very soon.

I hope these few simple tips will help you if you decide to explore the beautiful country of Morocco
