Morocco: Updates & Travel
Travel in Morocco
- Morocco exudes an Arabic atmosphere. In addition to the beaches in the south (also good in winter), the Sahara and the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech (pearl of the south, with a fantastic souk) and the other Imperial Cities, such as Fez, are the highlights. In many places along the coast you can go golfing and windsurfing. Morocco has a lot to offer with high snow-capped mountains, sultry beaches and arid deserts!
- One of the absolute highlights of Morocco is the Sahara. You can make beautiful trips on foot or by camel. Ride a camel over the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi and sleep in a Berber tent.
- The Atlas Mountains are very popular with mountain trekking enthusiasts and in Infrane, for example, you can also ski in winter.
- Surfing is possible in many places along the coast, the top spots are north of Safi, where top surfers from all over the world come.
- A trip to Morocco is not complete without a visit to the souk in Marrakech. Marrakech is the country's major tourist attraction and very different from the modern port cities.
- Casablanca and Agadir are very suitable for a cheap beach holiday. You will find a completely different atmosphere there than in the rest of Morocco, so don't think you have seen Morocco if you have only been here. Most (luxury) resorts are located here.
- The old medina of Fez (8th century) is forbidden for cars, so you really find yourself in a medieval Arab city. The many alleys, the smell and the craftsmen give the old city a very exotic character.
- The small village of Chefchaouen in the Rif mountains is almost completely light blue. A lot of craft work is done in the narrow streets, and many people come here to buy souvenirs.
- Rabat: The 1,000 year old capital of Morocco. However, the city centre is small and the city is in the shadow of Marrakech and Fez. But Rabat is definitely worth a visit, if only because you cannot avoid it due to its central location. Ouzoud Falls: This town is home to the most famous waterfalls in Morocco. The 110-metre-high waterfalls are especially beautiful in spring, when meltwater still flows from the mountains.
- Essouira is a nice harbour town that was discovered by hippies and surfers in the sixties. Nowadays, there is little of that atmosphere left, but it is still a nice place to enjoy a few days at the beach. There is a lot of wind and is therefore very suitable for windsurfing. 1 km south of Essouira is the hippie village of Diabat, which is legendary because of a visit by Jimi Hendrix in the sixties.
- Red City: Marrakech is also called that because the city walls and houses are made of red clay. It has the oldest medina (city centre) in Morocco, is incredibly versatile because of its art, culture, nightlife and the many places where you can relax and shop.
- The amounts of beggars and pushy street vendors. It is best to walk on in a friendly but determined manner and not to react too much to them. There is little point in getting annoyed, this is just part of a country like Morocco.
- Pickpockets are a plague, especially in the big cities.
