Travel to Morocco and Meet the Maghreb's Most Influential People
Morocco is the epitome of North African enchantment, as well as a country of intersecting vistas. Arid Saharan deserts in the south and east give way to the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, which are followed by a rolling green heartland that descends to the glittering Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Embrace the warmth of the enduring Berber, Arab, and African people and the 10,000 years of their most fascinating history in Morocco; a history that could only have happened where Africa and Europe collided intimately and unavoidably at the Strait of Gibraltar; a history that could only have happened there.
As enthralling as a snake?
Morocco's magnificent imperial Islamic cities are one of the country's most distinguishing features. The center medina (old town) of each city is usually still walled up and contains the most historic portion of these cherished cities, which may include a mosque with a minaret on top of its towering minaret. Every day of the week, with the exception of Friday, open-air markets, snake-charmers, musicians, and cafés are brimming with activity and activity they should be. In addition to being one of the biggest and most ancient medieval towns in the world, Fez (or Fès), Morocco's historic capital, is an excellent starting point for a trip through Moroccan history. The medina, also known as Fez el-Bali, is a complex maze of 9400 winding alleyways where you can find some of the best leather and handicrafts among the numerous bazaars and shops. The historic plaza of Djemaa el-Fna, located in the contemporary and traditional city of Marrakesh, outshines the rest of the medina at night with rhythmic drumbeats, ladies selling henna tattoos, aerial acrobatics, and a plethora of snakes. Ensure that you take in the magnificent Koutoubia Mosque minaret, which can be seen from the square.
The sea breeze, sand dunes, and snow are all present
Other than in its capital, Morocco is a more easygoing Muslim country than its eastern neighbors, especially in the mountainous and coastal areas. A massive urban port metropolis with a distinct Moroccan character and worldwide appeal, Casablanca is a major international hub. Casablanca, too, is a blend of old and modern, with the newly built Hassan II Mosque, the second biggest mosque in the world, and a medina that is both historically significant and culturally diverse. Visit Tangier, which serves as the gateway for visitors arriving from Spain, if you're looking for a more Mediterranean experience. When the French established a colony in Morocco in the early part of the twentieth century, they left a significant mark on the culture of the country, which is fascinating when set against such backgrounds as the fortified Kasbah at the top of the city's medina. Tangier is a popular and handy vacation destination for both North Africans and Europeans, resulting in a unique cultural mix at any time of the year, regardless of the season.
Experience firsthand the culture and landscape of the Saharan region on this one-of-a-kind journey that starts in the Saharan town of Merzouge. Here you may take a camel ride out into the sand dunes, where you can camp out beneath the brilliant stars of the Saharan sky for a night or more. Similarly, the tranquility of Morocco's desert is not lost between the mountains of the Atlas and Anti Atlas mountain ranges. Among the numerous reasons why visitors are drawn to these mostly impassable mountains are the seclusion and serenity of their many Berber villages, as well as the authenticity of Moroccan life that they provide, not to mention the excellent skiing and hiking opportunities. Most people are familiar with At Benhaddou because of its film appearances in films such as Lawrence of Arabia. The red walls of the Kasbahs, castles, and town squares are bathed in an orange light as the sun makes its way over the desert landscape to the ocean in the far distant horizon.
You just don't know unless you try it out
For decades, writers and filmmakers have tried to convey the romance and allure of Morocco in their works of fiction. The real nature of the country and its people is so clearly defined by so many different factors and aspects. That ineffable knowledge can only be gained by firsthand experience in Morocco; only then, and only then, can you relax in the comfort of a café and drink your delicious mint tea in peace.
