Morocco tourist guide family: Marrakech, Agadir and the Atlas

The Kingdom of Morocco is a typical tourist destination, with many facets, both geographical and cultural, architectural and historical. Everything is beautiful, the kindness of Moroccans is legendary, the service is impeccable tourists, activities are many. The key words of your holiday in Morocco are hospitality, colors, smells.



Located on the northwestern tip of North Africa, the country stretches for thousands of kilometers along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. Between Al Hoceima, Tangier, Essaouira, Agadir or, beach lovers, water sports of all kinds are bound to find something. 

The country is divided by the Atlas mountain range which rises to 4,000 meters between the northern Great Plains and the desert to the south. The diverse landscape is such that you can perform a wide variety of excursions: the palm of the Ziz Valley and the impressive gorges of Dades and Todra of southern Morocco, trekking or horseback mules in the Atlas, with the discovery of multiple villages built of adobe (a mixture of clay and straw) perched on a mountainside. 

The scenery and discoveries also live in cities. The circuit of the Imperial cities, Rabat, Fes, Meknes and Marrakech is needed first. Roman ruins of Chellah in Rabat and Volubilis near Meknes; tour of the old medina of Fes, a World Heritage Site by Unesco, a maze of tiny streets, the beautiful houses, colorful stalls, smells fragrant, teeming with life and activity; Udayas district along the coast to Rabat, Kasbah and the famous Djemaa El Fna square in Marrakech. These towns are surrounded by ramparts, which include magnificent Koutoubia mosque in Marrakech (only Muslims can enter). 



Casablanca, the white buildings, built by the French in the early twentieth century is the major economic city in the Kingdom, dominated by the Hassan II Mosque, showcase the richness of Moroccan craftsmanship (which itself can be visited in a group). Tangier, on the Strait of Gibraltar, is the oldest international city, Larache is distinguished by its whitewashed and low houses with blue doors and most of the small towns are worth a "detour". 

Morocco is a temperate country where the sun is hot. Every season deserves its region, we can spend Christmas in Marrakech enjoying the pools, making getaways in early spring from Ouarzazate, south, napping summer on the Mediterranean beaches in the shade of palm trees, and discover the imperial cities in the fall ... the hotel availability is important enough to find room for all seasons of the year. 



The architecture and Moroccan culture is rich. You have to admire the Zelliges (a kind of bas-reliefs in plaster), the sculpting, moucharabiehs (wooden lattice windows, which had to hide those facing outward.) Should be seen fantasias, horse racing galloping who fire their guns skyward archaic. We must listen to the sounds of the medina, which mixes all activities. It must smell the spice stalls, or those beds of roses of southern Morocco. You must try pastilla caïdale in a tent, along with friendly hosts. The country vibrates every way, in every way! Morocco is a country where it's very good live: between climate, rich culture, scenery, hospitality, everything is good to take. 

A cultural identity in the heart of a beautiful and rich country, ancient cities, varied and inviting coastline, warm mountain, desert and lush palm groves .. Shimmering jellabiyas female rivals the kindness of Moroccans. 
A trip to Morocco usually generates a second, so the desire to discover the country intensifies as it was found.
