About Morocco
Morocco is very much the jewel of North Africa. A country with a unique culture and cuisine that is ancient but totally embraces the modern world, Morocco blends stunning beaches with ancient cities, and rugged mountain terrain to create a destination that has something for everyone.
Morocco is close enough to Spain to have been deeply touched by European culture, and a long period of colonisation under the French to have been influenced by that too, however at its heart, the traditions of Arabic and nomadic life that defined the country since the Roman Era.
The majority of people who travel to Morocco head for one of the major beach resorts such as Safi, Agadir, or Casablanca which offer spectacular sandy beaches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and great hotels that offer a traditional welcome with modern facilities.
From any of these 3 resort towns, it is possible to make a trip to the city of Marrakech, which although it is not the capital of the country is the cultural centre of life. The city boasts plenty of mosques, and historic buildings, but the main attraction is the traditional marketplace or bazaar. Traders in Morocco have perfected the art of the relaxed sale where meetings take place over cups of sweet coffee, and where the most important part of any deal is the negotiation over price and terms which can go on for an hour – even for trivial goods.
Slightly further afield from the coast than the city of Marrakech lie the rugged Atlas Mountains. The perfect retreat from the dry heat of summer, they offer a different experience of Morocco from the beaches and city. Away from the tourist areas, you can go trekking through desert landscapes, or mountain biking through dry river beds and over rocky trails that offer utterly stunning views of either the Sarhara desert or the Atlantic Ocean.
If you are staying in the north of the country in Tangier or Rabat, then an overnight trip inland to the ancient city of Fez is an absolute must in order to see the mud brick buildings and narrow streets of the old town which seem to date back to the biblical times, and give of an air of history that you will struggle to find elsewhere.
