Madonna is ringing in the end of the year in Morocco. Accompanied by her partner Akeem Morris and some of her children, Madonna shared some stunning photographs showing her family enjoying the African continent as they immersed themselves in the culture of their destination. The images offered a curated yet intimate look into what was likely a memorable family trip, blending holiday cheer, fashion, and plenty of culture.
She was accompanied by Rocco Ritchie, 24, her twins Stella and Estere, 12, and Mercy James and David Banda, who are both 19. The only one of her children who was missing was her eldest, Lourdes Leon, 28.
Morocco holds great significance for Madonna, and is a location that she's visited in the past. In 2018, Madonna decided to celebrate her 60th birthday in the country, hosting a stunning and luxurious party attended by her closest friends and family.
In her photos shared on Instagram, Madonna is seen visiting several mosques and enjoying some of the local delicacies alongside her family, including some teas. One of the images shows her wearing a stunning fur coat with a matching hat and a leather skirt.
The images capture Madonna's desire to immerse herself in local traditions and landmarks, with her seen visiting ornate mosques and historic courtyards, all framed by the intricate tilework, carved archways, and geometric patterns that define Moroccan architecture. She also shared plenty of images of the city's streets and markets.
Moroccan luxury
A fact worth noting is Madonna's stunning outfits. In all of her images, Madonna showed a predilection for fur coats, showcasing different items of various textures and colors, which she paired with different types of hats. The photos showed her posing on the streets of Morocco, amidst temple walls, dancing with her friends and family, holding onto Morris' arm, reiterating that they're still going strong.
Some images captured the easy, tender, and friendly dynamic that exists between her and her children, with Rocco spotted walking alongside her as they both took in their surroundings, and her daughters huddled together as they smiled for the camera. Another photo showed Madonna alongside her sons, Rocco and David, drinking hot drinks from small paper cups.
"Moroccan Holiday," she captioned the post, tagging the Selman Marrakech, the luxurious hotel where the family stayed. Renowned for its opulent design and tribute to Arabian heritage, the Selman Marrakech is considered one of the world’s most prestigious hotels, offering a five-star experience steeped in the country's elegance and history.
