Must-do Things in Morocco

The Moroccan Desert & Sahara: My happy place is the Moroccan desert, and it just might become yours as well! Once you find yourself lost and encircled by enormous sand dunes. Next, spend the evening outside by the fire and wake up to magnificent desert dawn. You'll experience a great distance from all of your issues and challenges. The rose gold dunes are unlike anything else on earth in their complete serenity and boundless beauty. One of life's great privileges is to be in the Moroccan deserts as the sun comes up for the day or sets. One of the most inspirational encounters you can have in Morocco is this one.

Moroccan Food: Often, simply thinking about Moroccan food makes me hungry. One of the world's most delectable, fragrant, and well-balanced cuisines is Moroccan. It makes dishes that people remember for years using a combination of vegetables, meats, spices, and herbs! Every journey to Morocco is a fascinating culinary experience because of the variety of foods Moroccan cuisine has to offer (there are hundreds!). The positive aspect? In any city in Morocco, you may find a good restaurant at a reasonable price. You don't have to write a big cheque to eat this flavorful food. A tagine clay pot, which is the country of Morocco's traditional cooking utensil, is required if you want to enjoy Moroccan food. Every Moroccan food is so delicious because of this tagine pot.

The Unique Culture of Morocco: You will be exposed to a new culture that is possibly extremely different from your own when you travel to Morocco. And accepting it is the finest attitude to have.

Numerous facets of Moroccan culture can be seen in customs like tipping, greetings, clothing code, and relationship to food. Discovering a totally different culture is incredibly energizing and stimulating. There is acclaim for the variety of languages in Moroccan culture. In addition to classical Arabic, the languages used in administration, education, and the media Moroccan culture may certainly surprise you in a positive manner if you've never been there. So it's time to start making travel plans!

Shop the Souqs in Marrakesh: The medina of Marrakesh is renowned for its souqs (market streets), which have vendors selling handicrafts from all over Morocco and artisan workshops producing wooden and metal goods.

The medina of Marrakesh has grown to be a favorite place for European and North American shop owners to source items. Additionally, the medina is home to boutiques for a number of Moroccan home furnishings and clothing designers as well as regional skincare companies that specialize in items made with local argan oil. Tourist souvenirs are the focus of the main thoroughfares that all tour groups pass through, like Souq Semmarine. To find the best shopping, you must stray from the main souq paths.

Moroccan Hammams: If you enjoy spa services and massages, I urge you to put visiting a hammam in Morocco at the top of your list of things to do. Traditional Moroccan Hammams last 30 to 1.5 hours and take place in a steam room. Your skin and hair receive a deep cleansing and nourishing treatment like you've probably never had before at that time. Clay, rose petals, and Argan oil is some of the exquisite and natural ingredients used in the process. To detox from chemical cosmetics, you can even omit the shampoo and use natural clay shampoo instead. Moroccan Hammams are reasonably priced, which is another positive. Most of the time, they are less expensive than standard SPAs and massage studios. To unwind, cleanse, and moisturize my skin after days in the sun, I always enjoy a Hammam at the end of a vacation. Additionally, it's the ideal way to round up your time in Morocco and tie a nice bow on your adventures.
