Travel to Morocco for Exciting Holidays Abroad




Morocco is a wonderful Country with some majestic mountain ranges, great coastline and some



of the most intriguing Cities on the Continent. Many travellers end up in the Country to



sample life in the famous Cities of Casablanca, Marrakech and Rabat and most are not



disappointed by what they find. The people are very friendly as well and the infrastructure



is very good for the region and it is getting better with the current Government aiming to



increase tourist numbers to the Country.





The best time to visit Morocco is during the spring and autumn when it is cooler and more



comfortable. The summer can be a good time to visit the coastal areas, but the interior of



the country will be uncomfortably hot. The winter can get quite cold in the north though the



further south you go, the days will get warmer, however, night time will still be chilly.





Health wise - There is a small risk from Malaria in the extreme south of the Country, but



many do not believe it is worth the effort of taking anti-malarial medication. Consult your



doctor before coming to this conclusion, it is better to be safe than sorry! Altitude



sickness can occur in the mountains and you should be prepared for this. The medical



services in Morocco are average and serious injuries and illness may lead to evacuation by



air to Spain.





Visas and Documents - Most visitors to Morocco will be able to visit the Country without a



visa and be able to stay for up to three months on arrival. Israeli citizens will have to



apply for a month long visa before departure. If you are coming from a country or region



that is affected by yellow fever or cholera you will need to prove that you have been



vaccinated, most clinics or doctors issue certificates with the vaccination.





Cost - Morocco is relatively inexpensive to travel around, though the popular tourist



destinations like Casablanca and Marrakech will be slightly more expensive. A budget of $25



a day should suffice, if you are not bothered about eating in restaurants and don't mind



staying in guesthouses. Travel around the country is good value, but you should be careful



when dealing with taxi drivers, especially in tourist hotspots.





The Sights - There are so many things to see and experience in this wonderful Country and the



fact is that you will not have the time to visit them all and all though this is a shame,



remember it is important to enjoy this visit and that you can visit again in the future.



Obviously, some of the most well known attractions of the Country are some of the best with



the Imperial Cities of Fez, Meknes, Marrakech and Casablanca, all amazing destinations with



plenty to do and see. Walking through the bazaars and backstreets has got to be one of the





highlights of visiting Morocco - Morocco also has some splendid hiking opportunities, with the most popular being the High Atlas with the impressive Jebel Toubkal. What should be remembered is that there are alternatives to this popular destination, with the Anti Atlas to the south and the rarely



visited and wilder Rif Mountains near Tangiers and Chefchaouen.





The mighty ruins of Volubulis are the largest Roman remains in Morocco and it is now a World



Heritage listed site. It is one of many ruins across the north of the Country, but none are



in the magnitude of this site which lies close to Meknes.





While some may not consider it a highlight, travelling down the Western Sahara to Mauritania



is an adventure and a must for many overland travellers making their way to West Africa. It



may be an uncomfortable ride, but think of all the fabulous anecdotes you can tell your

Morocco Travel Agency - Tips For a Morocco Holiday Adventure




Attention all Adventure Junkies! Contrary to popular belief, Morocco is not all just about the markets and the stunningly beautiful cosmopolitan city. There are many things to see for those into alternative, off-beat travel. Here are some tips I received from a Morocco travel agency about exciting things to do on my Morocco holiday:





Morocco is a country of both stunning landscapes and captivating cities, so if your sense of adventure involves the love of heights, you are in for a treat. Imagine setting off on a hot air balloon from Marrakech and peacefully glide over Morocco whilst enjoying the breathtaking scenery. The Morocco travel agency I went through for the hot air ballooning adventure also included a visit into a village to have mint tea and home baked bread whilst mingling with a local Berber family.





For those who are into more action than a slow drift across the air, personal helicopter flights are available. Many routes are available if you choose this option, and these tours can last between an exhilarating twelve minutes to an extensive 4.5 hours.





A more comprehensive and encompassing helicopter tour that I recommend is that Atlas Tour, which takes about one hour to complete. In this excursion, you can view the dramatic scenery of the Atlas Mountains, Lake Takerkoust, Ouirgane, Toubkal, Oukaimeden, the Ourika Valley, and Marrakech.





Fancy racing a quad-bike around town? Bike lovers will love the experience of coasting around Palm Grove where you can zip around, admiring the picturesque 'green region' of Marrakech which is home to some of the most beautiful luxury homes, golf courses, and hotels in the world. You will also get to visit the famous Marrakech Piste oasis, ride some awesome dunes, and visit some Berber hamlets before stopping off to enjoy a tea break with some of the locals.





If you are after a more structured desert experience in the form of a several day tour with a Guide, these are also available at any good Morocco travel agency. These travel agencies may also be able to tailor an itinerary suitable to you that incorporates hot air ballooning, helicopter rides, and quad-bike riding.





I hope you enjoy your exciting adventure Morocco holiday. Once you experience the wild side of this amazing country, you will never want to leave!

Holidays to Morocco - Choices For Everyone




The Moroccan Kingdom has earned itself a reputation for being the epitome of exotic glamour over the years. Thanks to two very high profile films; the 1942 film Casablanca and the recent chick flick, Sex & the City 2, Morocco has become a popular destination for holiday makers and proves that it is everything the movies portray and more. This country is comprised of mainly deserts and rugged mountains and is situated on the North African continent. Saying that, the Morocco cities are vibrant and alive with a mix of eastern and western culture and tradition. You would think the luxury here comes at a high price, but you will be surprised to find many cheap holidays here and an abundance of affordable flights as well. If you stay in one of the main cities you will definitely grab a bargain.





Marrakesh



Trasport yourself into the past on your arrival to Marrakesh. The picturesque alleys and souks are everything a holidaymaker would expect from Morocco. The souks in this city are particularly special - you'll find a wide array of exotic goods.





As you wander the streets you'll come across storytellers and street performers, adding to Marrakesh's exotic vibe. Accommodation for holidays to Marrakesh must be in the form of a riad - a traditional Moroccan house built around a hidden garden.





Casablanca



Casablanca, known famously for the film, mixes old and modern architecture. The Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abadallah decided to rebuild the Anfa in the mid-18th century. The ruins combined with the city's Art Deco architecture are an interesting mix adding to the city's allure. The city is also situated on the coast so you'll find a number of beaches where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine. Stop off at one of the numerous cafes on the coast for some excellent people watching.





Fez



Fez is the top destination for holiday makers who want to experience true Moroccan tradition because of the souks and medinas of Fez, which have remained unchanged since the Middle Ages. In fact, the entire medina of Fez has been dedicated a Unesco World Heritage of Humanity Site. Take a stroll through the medina and you'll be amazed by the craftsman and their impeccable charm. After shopping until you drop, visit a traditional restaurant for some delicious local delicacies. A popular destination with its own airport, Fez is a great choice for cheap holidays to Morocco.





Agadir



Agadir is the destination to visit if you want to enjoy the Moroccan coast, boasting over 300 days of sunshine a year. Spend your time relaxing on the 10 kilometres of coastline after a visit to Fez or Marrakesh. If you need a break from the beach, visit the city's new marina where you can view the hundreds of boats harboured here whilst enjoying an ice cream.





Azilal



This rich city with natural wonders and landscapes lies in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. The adventurous traveller will feel at home here, with a number of outdoor activities and sights to take in. You can explore a number of caves and waterfalls and even partake in extreme sports if you're feeling brave. Or if you want a real adventure, start off your holidays here before trekking the Atlas Mountains.
