10 Reasons Why I Fell in Love With Excursions of Morocco
Travelling to Morocco is not cheap, but every penny spent there is absolutely worth it. The country has loads to offer – beautiful scenery, tasty food, hospitable people, and a perfect ease of life that is rare in our days. These are the things that (in my eyes) make Morocco one of a kind travel experience.
1. Sahara Desert
The Sahara desert is the primary reason why people travel to Morocco. In Merzouga, you can see the finest dunes, and Morocco is a considerably safe destination to travel in comparison with other countries where the desert occupies vast parts of their territories.
Hassan II is the landmark of Casablanca but also the most beautiful mosque in Morocco. It’s a surreal experience to walk around its impressive construction surrounded by the mist coming from the ocean. Try to visit the mosque on Sunday morning when many people visit for prayer, and the place comes alive.
Created by the French painter Jacques Majorelle but later the home of the designer Yves Saint-Laurent, this garden is a beautiful masterpiece combining oriental colors and wonderful flora. It is a quiet place in the middle of Marrakesh, the busy imperial city of Morocco, and also the home of the Berber Museum, an exhibition of the Berber culture, lifestyle, and handcrafts.
4. The Riads
Riads are traditional Moroccan houses that are often converted into small hotels. Feeling secure behind the thick walls of your guest house after wandering the small narrow streets of the Medina will be a time for indulging in all things Morocco has to offer – delicious food, excellent service, and a magical atmosphere.
5. Medina
Walking in the Medina can be really tough for a woman. However, the feeling of treasure hunting makes you feel excited in front of all these colorful babouche slippers, spices, jewelry pieces, leather bags, tasty food, and freshly baked bread. There are plenty of items to choose from, many of them handmade.
Moroccan Interiors
Another of Morocco’s charms is its cozy homes and bold house furnishings. The sofas are big and low, the tables are small but just enough for the tasty food and refreshing tea. Lanterns create mysterious shadows, and the ochre color of the tiles makes the whole room look warm. Everything in the Moroccan style interior design is rustic but made with a clear attention to detail.
7. Carpets
Having shared my addiction to Moroccan interiors, it’s understandable to share my love for Moroccan carpets. They are in strong and warm colors, with simple designs that can match any style. Your home can get a brilliant retouch with a Moroccan rug. The only problem can be its weight and volume for transporting it back home.
Relaxing Time
8. Oasis
You have to go out of the famous cities like Marrakech and Casablanca, pass the Atlas Mountains, and on your way to the south, you will eventually get to take those fantastic photos in orange and green colors. Oasis still exists in Morocco, just like at the time of Lawrence of Arabia.
9. Hammams
Hammams are steam rooms where people go to wash in exchange for a modest fee. Men and women are typically in two separate rooms or they use the steam bath at different times.
10. Tea Time
Berber Tea is an affectionate name for the amber-colored mint tea that pervades Moroccan life. Despite the misleading moniker, there’s not a drop of alcohol to be found. The traditional tea is made from black tea leaves, spearmint, and generous lumps of sugar. It’s best enjoyed sitting at a rooftop cafe with sweeping views punctuated by minarets and palm trees.
