WHY MOROCCO: Imagine a place where ancient history flows seamlessly into vibrant modern life. Morocco is that and more! This North African gem is a melting pot of culture, cuisine, and stunning landscapes. From the towering Atlas Mountains to the rolling sands of the Sahara, each corner beckons with stories to be told. Indulge in the spicy aroma of tagines, the rich tapestry of Berber carpets, and the warm hospitality of the Moroccan people – Morocco truly is a dream brought to life.
WHEN TO GO: Morocco is a year-round destination, but timing is key for different experiences. For temperate weather and blooming landscapes, consider visiting between March to May or September to November. These seasons offer pleasant conditions perfect for exploring the medinas of Marrakech or hiking the verdant High Atlas trails. If you’re like having a sea breeze and sunny days, summer is ideal for the coastal resorts like Essaouira.
THINGS TO DO: Explore the Medina of Fez, journey through the Sahara Desert – and be sure to ride a camel, discover a charming mountain village, take a fun Moroccan cooking class, dine in a traditional riad, and visit the Majorelle Garden in Marrakech.
SPECIAL TIPS: Make sure to dress respectfully and modestly, aligning with the local customs. A lightweight scarf can be your best friend – handy for an extra layer or for impromptu sun protection. Remember to barter in markets; it’s all part of the fun in Morocco’s vibrant souks. Finally, carry cash in dirhams for smaller transactions, as many markets prefer it over cards.
