I heard a lot about Morocco and I like traveling to different countries , I decided to visit the North African country and I was not disappointed.
The country offers great natural scenery such as the Atlas , green oasis of palm trees , high gorges and of course the Sahara desert . The history of cities is also amazing in the coastal town of Essaouira in the ass wide aisles streets of Fez.
We book our tour with a company called your visit to Morocco . They organized all of us. They picked us up at the airport of Casablanca, where we spent our first night. Casablanca is another big city and not much to see except the spectacular Hassan II Mosque is open to non -Muslims.
The next day we went to Rabat, the Roman ruins of Volubis , visited Meknes and then ended our day in Fez.
The medina of Fez is a place like no other . This is a very old city, where time has stopped and nothing has changed since the 12th century , with the exception of people have electricity and satellite dishes . Otherwise, it looks like it has not changed since centuries ago . This is a very authentic town that has a number of cultural , historical and religious sites.
After Fez, we went on a long journey to discover the Merzouga Sahara Desert. I will never forget our night in the desert of Erg Chebbi . The two hour ride on the camels was not what I expected, but we made our camp in the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi . The sky was covered with millions of stars, our local guides to playing the drums and the signature of their Berber music by fire. They also show us how bread is made of sand into the fire. It was an amazing night that I will never forget.
Next two days were filled with breathtaking landscapes . We visited the oasis of palm trees high in Morocco, Todra Gorge . The night we spent in the Dades gorges bordered by steep curve road that winds around the red rock. We saw several Kasbah on the road as the Ait Ben Haddou was pretty impressive too. We cross the Atlas Mountains , which were very high through the Tizi Tichka . The views of the Berber villages were quite unique and surprising to see how many people still live in this century .
Marrakech did not give an impression as if the old Fez . We saw many beautiful gardens and other historical sites. Koutoubia mosque and its minaret are known in many films such as to Marrakech. I must not forget the Djemaa El Fna crazy that fulfills many jugglers, belly dancers and singers and also food stalls . It was fun getting lost in the souks of Marrakech. It's amazing what you can buy there . The bad thing is that some traders were so arrogant .
I want to take this opportunity to thank our driver Ibrahim . It was just fantastic ! He was very happy all the time, and we felt right at home in Morocco.
Your Morocco Tour and Ibrahim , thank you for showing us your beautiful country. We will return soon.
