In your vacation to Morocco, your journeys travel should revolve around Moroccan culture and the desert climate. Visit www.travel-tomorocco.com for more details.
Kasbahs
Kasbahs were ancient symbols of power and prestige in ancient Morocco. Built with high walls and practically no windows, practically every city in Morocco has a kasbah. Some of them have been converted into riads or boutique hotels.
Morocco desert and Camel rides
Travel through the Moroccan-side of the Sahara desert on camel. You will be glad to know that Morocco actually offers the eco-tourism tours around. Experience the sand dune and the sweltering heat.
Atlas Mountains
The snow-capped Atlas Mountains give you a great view of what is below. The Atlas Mountains is just near Ouarzazate, where you can find one of the world’s largest movie studios – Atlas Studios. It was there that movies like popular movies like Gladiator, Alexander and the Kingdom of Heaven were shot.
Djemaa el Fna
Djemaa el Fna can be found in Marakesh. It is world renown for being the busiest square in Africa. During the day, this square showcases performances by storytellers, acrobats, musicians and dancers. At night, it morphs into a busy food square.
Fez Medina
Deemed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Fez is one city you should go to if you want to take a trip down memory lane rewind to 1,200 years ago. There inside Fez - amidst the confusing myriad of 9,000 streets and mule rides and voices in different languages – you will find the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II, Fez’s founder and the oldest university in the world –Karaouine University, established in the 9th century.
