Where To Go To Morocco?

Morocco is one of the richest countries in all of Africa in terms of landscapes. In the same trip, we go from desert to mountain tops and ancient cities to dream beaches on the coast. Morocco ... The name of the country is sufficient in itself to evoke the mysterious smells emanating from the souks, the dazzling rites of fantasia and the sumptuous green gardens which adorn the cities.

Morocco seems to have been tailor-made for travelers. It must be said that the dunes of the Sahara and the peaks of the High Atlas make it the ideal country for hiking and walking freely on picturesque paths. The lyrical landscapes of North Africa seem to have concentrated their riches here, in Morocco, between the mountains and the oases. The diversity of landscapes encountered throughout the trip allows for a variety of activities. Observation of the sky in the middle of the desert, hikes on the coast, visits to caves, swimming near vertiginous waterfalls ... You will be spoiled for choice.

Traveling in Morocco is also to leave the tourist trails that represent the cities of Essaouira and Marrakech to discover the true soul of the country. The arrival of modern technologies has in no way altered traditional life since the premises are above all connected to their environment. We will thus set off to meet nomadic peoples, desert dwellers and city dwellers in order to better understand the diversity of local cultures.

For a trip to Morocco focused on the authenticity and history of the country, head to the ancient Medinas. Exotic and supercharged, these towns represent the perfect complement to a more rural stay. At the crossroads of traditions and modernity, we discover a host of sites and monuments, each more captivating than the next, like the Jemaa el-Fna square located in the center of Marrakech.
