Why You Should Travel To Morocco For Your Next Vacation

By Jaclyn Hurley


For most tourists, Morocco is one of the countries anyone would want to visit. Even though it has a long history of Spanish and French colonization, most of its towns have dearly guarded their culture, making it more interesting. You can feel the presence of their past culture in towns like Fez, with lifestyle here influenced by the Berber traditions which existed during the original Moroccan kingdom. Notably, the geographical appearance of this country is fascinating, characterized by mountain ranges, Mediterranean coast and a stretch of empty sand of the Sahara. This gives a tourist all the reasons they need to travel to Morocco for an exciting experience in this country.

For once, you can be sure that you will have plenty of interesting scenery and other attractions to enjoy. From mountain ranges, to vast sand of the Sahara desert, you will gain enough reasons to thank yourself for visiting this country. Of importance is to understand a few aspects about the area, to avoid getting a culture shock once there.

Moroccans commonly use Arabic. You will get most of them in the streets speaking in Arabic. Sometimes, you may have to understand some of the terms especially if you plan to interact with the locals along the streets. However, many of them speak Spanish, French, as well as English and will address visitors in these languages. All they do is throw in a few phrases in their here and their dialect.

Good news is that the people here are peaceful. This is also among the stable countries among the Arab world. Political, economic and social reforms engineered by the leadership of King Mohammed VI have also played a major role in making it a peaceful country. This has actually helped improve tourism in the country.

Visitors can enjoy various activities. You could choose hiking at the Atlas Mountains, enjoy Sahara excursions, go fishing, or just unwind in one of the laidback resorts. Good news is that one will have enough fascinating activities to engage in no matter the time of year they visit. You will also enjoy interacting with the people of this region, who are peaceful, hospitable and generous.

The climate is characterized by hot summers, with temperatures at peak around July and August. This period makes any visit to the deserts unbearable. However, one can spend their time along the beaches and mountains. The country experiences spring, around April and May. This is an overall season to visit almost all the attractions. The country experiences a summer-like weather in the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, Sahara and mountains. Tourism activities are high during the season.

Keep off the deserts at night during winter, because they can become unbearably cold. However, since they are a suitable place to visit during the day in winter, businesses in the accommodation industry come up with hotels with heating systems. This gives you a good way to keep warm throughout the night as you rest to begin your excursions in the beautiful sand.

Another important consideration for visitors to this country is the Islamic religious calendar. Their religious holidays such as Ramadan come with some changes that will interfere with your stay there. For instant, it could be challenging to find transport by public means during the one month day fasting season.
