Staying in a riad, getting lost in the medina, accepting a mint tea, bargaining in the souk, photographing the palm groves, visiting a hammam, walking through the blue village, breathing the breeze of the Atlantic coast... The list of things to do and see in Morocco is endless and irresistible. To enjoy all the possibilities offered by the African country, take into account these travel recommendations.
Morocco
is it only Marrakech?
Morocco is much more than Marrakech, even if this is the most visited city or the travel icon of the country. Just name places like Fez, Tangier or Casablanca, another of the great cities of the country and much quieter than Marrakech, and we would even dare to say that more interesting, from a traveler's point of view. Or Essaouira, a short distance from Marrakech, a coastal city that gives authenticity through every pore.
Not to mention the incredible Kasbash tour, which takes you to incredible places such as the Ksar of Ait Ben Hadou, the Kasbah Taourirt or Telouet, among the many other attractions that this area of Morocco has to offer.
Gastronomy is
a marvel!
There is no truer truth than this, when we talk about Morocco because the country has one of the most succulent cuisines in the world. Don't you believe it? You just have to try couscous, a semolina seed that is usually eaten with vegetables.
Or also the tajine, a dish that receives this name by the container in which it is cooked and that is usually chicken or lamb and is accompanied by ingredients such as vegetables, plums and olives, and that make this one of the most typical and most eaten dishes, not only because of how tasty it is but also to be able to find it in most restaurants and have a very tight price.
Will you feel "overwhelmed"
by salespeople ?
While we have to say that in cities like Marrakech going into the Medina can be quite an adventure as the "no thanks" will be present at every corner after being offered all kinds of things, the moment you leave the tourist areas or move away from the city, this changes completely. Even in cities as important as Fez, the crush of vendors takes a back seat, allowing you to enjoy strolling through the souks without feeling harassed at any time.
We recommend that in cities like this you go mentally and, at all times, take these situations as something anecdotal because if not you can end up quite overwhelmed to see you crowded by most vendors.
Sleeping in a riad is
a unique experience!
Riad in Arabic means garden, something that has to do with the inner courtyard that we will find in all riads around which the rooms and common areas are distributed. This courtyard, which is usually the center of the enclosure, is decorated with mosaics and plants, and even many times have fountains, referring to water, another symbol of this type of accommodation.
The riads offer maximum comfort, apart from an exquisite decoration and a much closer treatment with the guest than is usually the case in hotels, making them a perfect choice if you travel to Morocco.
Undoubtedly, if you have the opportunity, be sure to spend at least one night in one of them. We assure you that you will not regret it.
Is it worth spending
a night in the desert ?
There is nothing more impressive than enjoying a night in the desert, in a tent, surrounded by thousands of stars, while enjoying a traditional dinner.
Traveling to Morocco
is it dangerous?
Nothing could be further from the truth. Morocco is a very safe country, as safe as Spain can be, so you don't have to be any more careful or have any more common sense than you do here when you are in a city.
In Morocco
is it always hot?
Just go to the Atlas Mountains in the middle of winter and check the temperatures. Moreover, in this area it often snows so if you travel by car, it is worth checking the state of the roads, as these often suffer closures.
The same happens in other areas of the country, such as Fez, if you go in the middle of winter. Do not think you will be able to go in shirtsleeves or suspenders. Be prepared to wear winter clothes and, depending on the month, to go below 10 degrees.
Morocco is a
super destination!
You can't even imagine how impressive is the amount of beautiful places you can visit, the warmth of the people, so be prepared to come back.
