I’ve heard nice issues about Morocco and since I prefer to journey to totally different international locations I made a decision to go to this North African nation and I used to be not dissatisfied.
The nation affords nice pure surroundings such because the Atlas Mountains, inexperienced palm oasis, excessive gorges and naturally the Sahara desert. The historical past of the cities can also be unbelievable from the coastal city of Essaouira to the donkey alley vast streets of Fes.
We now have guide our tour with an organization known as Your Morocco Tour. They organized every little thing from us. They picked us up on the airport in Casablanca, the place we stayed our first evening. Casablanca is one other huge metropolis and has not a lot to see, besides the spectacular mosque of Hassan II that’s open to non-Muslims.
Subsequent day we travelled to Rabat, Roman ruins of Volubis, visited Meknes after which ended our day in Fes.
The previous medina in Fes is a spot like no different. It’s a very previous metropolis, the place time stopped and nothing has modified because the twelfth century, besides folks now have electrical energy and satellite tv for pc dishes. In any other case, it seems to be prefer it didn’t change since centuries in the past. It’s a very genuine metropolis that has a many cultural, historic and spiritual sights.
After Fes we drove a protracted drive to Merzouga to expertise the Sahara desert. I’ll always remember our evening within the desert by Erg Chebbi. The 2-hour trip on the camels was not what I anticipated, however we made it to our camp by the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. The sky was lined by hundreds of thousands of star; our native guides had been enjoying on drums and signing their Berber music by a fireplace. Additionally they present us how sand bread is made within the fireplace. It was an incredible evening that I’ll always remember.
Subsequent two days had been crammed up by breathtaking surroundings. We visited the very best palm oasis in Morocco, the Todra Gorge. The evening we spent within the Dades gorge lined by steep curved highway that winds round crimson rock. We noticed a number of Kasbah on the route such because the Ait Ben Haddou that was fairly spectacular too. We cross by way of the Atlas Mountains that had been very excessive by way of the Tizi Tichka Cross. The views of the Berber villages had been fairly distinctive and shocking how folks on this century nonetheless dwell.
Marrakech didn’t give an impression as being so previous as Fes. We now have seen many stunning gardens and different historic sights. The Koutoubia mosque is and its minaret are recognized from many films because the sight of Marrakech. I have to not neglect the loopy sq. of Djema El Fna that fills by many jugglers, stomach dancers, and singers and in addition stalls of meals. It was enjoyable to get misplaced within the souks in 3 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga. It’s unbelievable what you should purchase there. The dangerous factor was that a number of the shopkeepers had been strategy to pushy.
I wish to take this chance to thanks to our driver Ibrahim. He was simply implausible! He was very glad on a regular basis, and made us really feel so at house in Morocco.
