Rafting, hiking, shopping, sightseeing ... there are literally hundreds of things to do and see in this beautiful country. Here are some places to go and activities we offer you can enjoy taking a winter away from the cold and in the heat of Morocco trip.
Morocco Cities, to see
The cities of Morocco each have their own quirks and attractions. While you find mosques, souks and medinas in almost all of them, they all have at least one thing that is special to the city alone. Casablanca is considered the "Miami of Morocco" and is a fairly modern city that was immortalized in the film of the same name. There is a bar that looks like 'Place Rick where you hear Humphrey Bogart said "Play it again, Sam."
Fez is the oldest city in the country with many buildings dating back to around 700 AD. It has a maze of narrow streets that are enough for mules or donkeys big to get through and it is the spiritual and cultural heart of the country way of life.
Marrakech is typical of Moroccan life, including historical sites, beautiful gardens, a square of music and lots of nightlife and good food to enjoy. If you are looking to enjoy a night of Saudi true type evening, then you'll want to visit Riad Zaouia with its buffet of Moroccan cuisine, musicians, fire eaters, snake charmers and belly dancers.
Tangier was once a very seedy city with a nightlife that is unlike any other with wild parties and hell-rakes around. He fell out of favor for a while, but now it is once again becoming popular, you want to visit a place which is on the edge. He is currently preparing for the International Exhibition of 2012 and its infamous Jazz Festival is held in late May.
Activities in Morocco
You can get away from the bustle of the cities of Morocco fairly easy and activities that are available for you to enjoy vary. If you enjoy hiking, then travel up into the Atlas Mountains to see the small villages nestled on the slopes and discover the wild landscape, this is the perfect adventure for you. For those who prefer not to walk, you will be able to enjoy riding in the mountains, which allows you to stretch further and perhaps even visit one of the nomadic Berber tribes whose mode Life has not changed for centuries. While you're in the mountains, try your hand on some of the slopes there. After all, it is winter.
The mountains are not your style? Then head into the Sahara desert on a camel tour. You live like the Berber tribes who made their living on sleep in tents in the desert or in the beautiful and clear night sky. Draa valley at the edge of the desert offers some great hiking and climbing camel, or you can work your way to the southeast of the oasis town of Ouarzazate where "Body of Lies" by Ridley Scott was filmed . It is known as "Hollywood of Africa" and the city was seen in bestsellers such as "rules of engagement" "Gladiator" and "Babel."
Long journeys
There are trains that run from one end of the country to another, and some offer train excursions that allow you to visit different cities without worrying about driving. You can fly from Marrakech to Andalucía on such a visit and have the opportunity to see the cities and between Cordoba and Madrid, two cities in Spain which were heavily influenced by the Moors. Mountain biking and fly-drive tours are also available in Morocco and there is never a dull moment in this Mediterranean country.
Do not sit at home wondering what kind of vacation you need to take during the winter. Head to Morocco and discover the country as never before. There is plenty to do, plenty to see and plenty of beaches to enjoy if absorbing heat from the sun before returning to the winter air is what you like ....
