Half-Dutch, half-Moroccan Yusra Idrissi took her first trip to Morocco back in 1992. After 23 years of family holidays spent exploring the country, in 2015 she embarked on her own solo travels through Morocco, documenting her experiences on Instagram and building a loyal community of followers who adore her grid of opulent tiled riads, desert cacti and terracotta-toned medinas.
