Visiting Morocco - Travel Tips,Advice & Reviews
So you’re contemplating a trip to Morocco, huh ?
And of course, you’d appreciate any tips or helpful info, right ?
I hope I can be of any help.
Let’s get into it!
As you may already know my friend, it would be impossible to explore, see and do everything you like in just one trip to a country. And Morocco is no exception.
Small of a place as it is, Morocco straddles quite a few wonders of nature. From the Mediterranean sea coasts and dazzling Atlantic Ocean cities to the imperial medieval towns full of culture, architecture and cuisine to the Atlas mountains, Southern desert kasbahs to the dreamy dunes of the Western Sahara.
I know!
Your ambitions may be just as broad!!!
But if you’ve got some strings of time and budget, a little compromise here and there will still keep you just as satisfied. At the end, your trip will,to a degree, still depend on what you like to do, how many time you can afford and your travel budget.
For example, are you a history and traditions savvy traveler ? The type of a terrain/gardens walker/stroller ? Musuems,shops and souks lover or you’re more into seashore sunbathing and magical coastal sunsets.
Are you a quad bike rider ? Would you like to try a camel ride instead ? Are you into mountain climbing or do you prefer to just sit back and relax on a spa or a riad during the day and stroll on coastal promenade at the evening.
Am sure you must already know what you like and prefer. Preference should be given the priority here as that would short list your activities and itinerary.
By the way, you cannot just go ,you should have an itinerary upfront and stick to it.
A timely-efficient laid out itinerary will not only allow you to exhaustively enjoy all you want according to schedule but may even leave you with some extra time you can use for extra sightseeing. You can event adjust your point of entry to meet with your sightseeing goals.
Also don’t feel deprived if you have to narrow down your stay to a particular area. In fact, in many instances, you can enjoy a nice package mixture even within one area. For instance, While in Tangier, you can do a camel ride on your way to Hercules Cave. Camels are supposed to be in the desert. But for the sake of ease and flexibility, they are often brought from their environment to the coastal cities during the high tourist season. So don’t be surprised if you see a camel convoy along the beautiful coastal beach of Azilah or even Agadir.
A camel ride in Tangiers does not replace a camel trekking excursion in Erg Chebbi/Merzouga. But it can give you that romantic feeling being on top of a camel and call it a day.
Old medinas are rich of history and culture and are unique. Most of these are located in the hot non-coastal regions of Morocco. But then again Morocco itself is an ancient country and old medinas, to a lesser depth, are also found in coastal cities, how about that ?
Yep,Tangier(also Tangiers) still cheriches its old organs. Taxi drivers are knowledgeable of their hometown and know its history wholeheartedly. They can take you there, sit back and relax while glancing to see old tanks and hearing about the Spanish and Portugese pirates and how tangiers tried to protect itself from the shore.
Not as famous or busier but Casablanca’s Old Medina is just as enjoyable. Casablanca is coastal and breezy and accommodates the magestic Hassan II mosque,the Neo-Gothic Roman Catholic church, Temple Beth-El and La corniche d’Ain Diab.
A 3-week tour is ideal to visit most of Morocco's major attractions.
Seems like am already lost myself and I haven’t even started. Sorry about that !
So the following is a short list of things to do while in Morocco.
Old Medinas – The imperial cities (Meknes,Fes,Marrakech,Essaouira)
Beaches - Agadir,Asilah,Moulay Bouselham,Saidia,Martil,Marina smir,Tangier,Mehdia
(Kenitra),Rabat,Casablaca and Essaouira.
Camel Excursions - Merzouga,Warzazte,Zagora.
Mountain Climbing - The Atlas Mountains
Kasbahs
Museums
Old Places
Caves and Fortifications
Souks and Cafes
Traditional Moroccan Cuisine Classes
Spa & Hammam
If you’re coming on train from Tangiers, Sidi kacem (a small non-tourist town) is the intersection to either Meknes/Fes or Rabat/Casablanca/Marrakech. Usually, you do Marrakech first then on your way back you pass by Casablanca,Rabat and (thru Sidi kacem again) you go to Fes on the other side.
You can skip Meknes if you cannot afford to spend a day over there. Meknes can be seen from the train station on the way to the nearby Fes.
Does it or does not worth the stop ?
It does.
