Morocco the most beautiful country in north africa:
Morocco is one of the most distinctly unique places you could ever visit – from the imperial cities to rogue mountains and a hundred colours and smells in between, Morocco should be on every adventurous travellers wish list and here is why:
Jemaa el-Fena in marackech city
This market place in Marrakesh is perhaps one of the most famous globally and visitors flock here from around the world. At night it comes alive with bustling food stores, snake charmers, dancing men and much more. A must visit for the food alone.
The Atlas Mountains
The Atlas Mountains are a world away from the beaches and city life of Morocco and are easily accessible from Marrakesh. No trip to Morocco would be complete without a visit to the Berber inhabited Atlas mountain range.
The Road-Trips
Morocco is relatively easy to get around – rental cars are readily available and there are some amazing drives you do not want to miss out on especially around the mountain ranges.
The Mosques
The Mosques in Morocco are distinct from other mosques around the world in that they do not have a dome but rather an elaborate minaret. The tallest minaret in the world is located at the Hassan ll Mosque in Casablanca pictured below. What this picture does not show is it’s enviable position located on the seafront with an amazing view of the ocean. A visit to Casablanca is worth it alone for a visit here.
the Moroccan tea:
Mint Tea is Morocco’s crack – and one sip of the sugary sweet hot beverage of the heavens will demonstrate why. Even the serving of the tea has been perfected into an art and whether you like it or not you will be offered mint tea at least 3 times a day
Breakfasts with a View
The breakfasts in Morocco are something else – from every possible derivate of carbohydrate goodness to sweet cakes and fresh juices we enjoyed every breakfast on our trip, though the breakfasts in Fes were the best due to this amazing view across the old city.
The Food
The food in Morocco is amazing if you go to the right places – these include street food stalls, the Berber markets, good home cooked food and some of the riads. We tried some very highly reviewed French Moroccan Michellen starred chef establishments and were less than impressed – I’ll take a harira soup or spicy chicken tagine from a street food stall any day.
