In the surrounding areas of Marrakech and the centre of the country, the nature is absolutely spectacular. Sportsmen and adventurers have the opportunity to really enjoy roaming these beautiful landscapes by foot!

Walks in the centre of Morocco

If there is a place that sums up the incredible diversity and richness of the beautiful country of Morocco, it is certainly the countless markets called souks.  You will dive into the unforgettable atmosphere and you will find everything imaginable and more.

Morocco's incredible souks

Today, Morocco has a worldwide reputation for its numerous cultural and principally musical festivals. It's a great occasion to discover the artistic riches of the country during a trip to Morocco.

Morocco is world famous for its imperial cities. Every day, tourists from the four corners of the earth tour round the incredible palaces and gardens in these unique places. A breath taking visit in the heart of Morocco's history.

Morocco's superb imperial cities

It's without doubt the most touristy town in Morocco, thanks to its amazing souk and the immense Jema El Fna Square.

Salaam alaikoum! When we think of Morocco, it is the buzzing and colourful souks, filled with the scent of exotic spices that spring to mind. We conjure up images of magnificent palaces, lush gardens and white, sandy beaches that stretch far into the horizon. But there is more to Morocco; a depth that goes beyond its beauty and colour. There is its soul, a heart that beats not only in the bazaars but also across its lands, all there for you to discover as you immerse yourself in the daily lives of its people. By meeting these people and by enjoying their hospitality during your stay, you will see Morocco and its inhabitants unveil the hidden treasures that lie at the core of their culture. From its four royal cities to the misty ramparts of Essaouira, from hiking and trekking across the countryside (be it in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains or on a camel’s back in the Sahara), wonders await you, no matter what your choice of holiday may be.

As with a lot of visitors, I love Tangier. The town has a very special feel, on Africa's threshold, facing Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. From the top of the town's hills you can see Spain, so close and yet so far to some.
Tangier's souk is particularly interesting and beautiful. Make sure you stop at one of its many cafes or restaurants with their panoramic views of the sea and ocean beyond. The sunsets are particularly spectacular.
I recommend that visitors arriving from Europe start their <a href="/morocco/">holiday in Morocco</a> in Tangier and the north before heading down south. Arriving by boat on the African coast of Tangier is an unforgettable experience.

I didn't stay long in Tangiers, the 'frontier town' with Europe, as it wasn't particularly to my liking. I can't really put my finger on why I didn't like Tangiers, because the city itself does have an undeniable charm. But I didn't stay there long enough to discover everything it had to offer.That aside, it was in Tangiers that I tasted my first tagging and my first mint tea, and I immediately developed a serious addiction to both of them for the whole of my trip through Morocco!The new city, established under the French protectorate, does have a few attractions, notably the Mendoubia park, where you'll be able to spot various different fruit trees. Also, I'd suggest a trip up to Faro square, where there's a belvedere which offers the perfect view over the Medina quarter, the port and the bay of Tangiers.

The gateway to Morocco, this town, halfway between Europe and Africa, is a crowded crossroad of a place.
