Morocco Travel |
Maybe just a
passenger Morocco hold over an instant and stable charming so use Moroccotravel. however just an hour’s ride on the ferry from Spain, it seems at once
so far from Europe, with a culture – Islamic and pointedly traditional – that
is almost wholly uninhabitable. Throughout the country, regardless of the years
of French and Spanish colonial rule and the existence of modernistic and fresh
cities like Rabat, Marrakesh and Casablanca, a more distant past permanently
makes its presence felt. Fez, perhaps the most beautiful of all Arab cities,
maintains a life still rooted in medieval times, when a Moroccan kingdom
stretched from Senegal to northern Spain, while in the mountains of the Atlas
and the Rif, it’s still possible to draw up intertribal maps of the Berber
population. As a backdrop to all this, the country’s physical make-up is
terrific: from the Mediterranean coast, through four mountain ranges, to the
empty sand and scrub of the Sahara.
This blend of theexotic and the familiar, the variety of landscapes, the dissimilarity between
new city and ancient Medina, all add up to make Morocco an intense and
remuneration experience, and a country that is ideally suited to independent
travel – with enough time, you can cover a whole range of activities, from
hiking in the Atlas and relaxing at laidback Atlantic rest home like Asilah or
Essaouira to getting lost in the back alleys of Fez and Marrakesh. It can be
hard at times to come to terms with the privilege of your position as a tourist
in a country with severe poverty, and there is, too, occasional hassle from
unofficial guides, but Morocco is ultimately a safe and politically stationary
place to visit. Indeed, your enduring impressions are likely to be often
positive, shaped by encounters with Morocco’s powerful tradition of
hospitality, generosity and openness. This is a country people return to again
and again.
