Midelt - a town in the middle

by al2401

The middle of what - nowhere? No! Midelt is in the middle of the route from Fes to Er-Rachidia in the northern foothills of the High Atlas. People generally pass through Midelt on the way to the Sahara but it is worth a stop. It is great country for hiking and off road activities - there are many gorges to visit and you can climb Jebel Ayachi (3737m).At the Convent of Our Lady of the Atlas a few remaining Franciscan nuns teach the local Berber women the art of embriodery and kilim (carpet) weaving. The technique for the embriodery is amazing - you cannot tell the front from the back. Girls can start at age 15 to learn these traditional arts from the older more experienced women and can also learn to read and write. Visitors are welcome and the ladies happily show you how it is done and, as is tradition in Morocco, invite you to try your own skill. Of course there is a small shop but the...

Sefrou

by al2401

The town of Sefrou is 73km from Fes in the foothills of the Middle Atlas. Its history dates back to 806. This is a delightful town with a small but colourful medina which once was home to one of Morocco's largest Jewish communities.In the old town there is an old woman who lives in a cave and still carries her own water - in a bucket on her head!

Cara subterranean prison - Meknes

by al2401

Meknes was the imperial capital of Moulay Ismail. He built a large prison under the old city for Christian sailors captured at sea. In the Koubt Essoufara (Ambassador's Pavilion) Moulay Ismail would receive ambassadors from other countries, often to plead for the return of their countrymen. Little did they know - their countrymen laid shackled just below them. Just to the right of the pavilion were the stairs down to the prison where up to 60,000 prisoners were held (40,000 of them, reportedly Christian prisoners of war). Prisoners were shackled to the wall and had to sleep standing up.The prison was built by the Portugese architect Cara, who was also a prisoner. He earned his freedom by constructing the prison.There are many stories about secret tunnels to the Royal palace. In fact, there have been several efforts to verify these stories leading to death and injury in cave-ins. All...

Azemmour and the Riad Azama

by Waxbag

The Portuguese built Azemmour two miles inland along the Oum er Rbia river as a fortified trading post in 1513. A tsunami from the Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 heavily damaged the town including the large ochre ramparts surrounding the medina. Walking through the windy medina is a pleasant experience. It felt like little had changed here in a couple of hundred years. The faded and crumbling aspects of the town are part of its appeal. Except for two riads there are no tourists restaurants or facilities. There is a riad here, however, that is reason enough to stay in this region. The Riad Azama is an 18th century traditional home handsomely restored with 6 rooms located around a lovely court yard. It’s hard to believe that some of these rooms were donkey stables just a few years ago. The gem of the riad is the dining and lounging rooms that have exquisite original paintings, carved stucco,...

Cite Portugaise and El Jadida

by Waxbag

El Jadida is a port city on the Atlantic coast of Morocco just south of Casablanca. The 500 year old medina of El Jadida with its impressive fortifications, called Cite Portugaise, makes for a great day of exploring. Previously known as Mazagan before seized in 1502 by the Portuguese El Jadida was made into a bustling port city. Now the old medina is more of a sleepy well worn village. There are a few sites worth seeing that the portuguese built like, the church of the assumption, the five sided lighthouse now the minaret of the grand mosque, and the impressive Portuguese Cistern, a vast subterranean vault that has a thin film of water which reflects the columns and vaulted ceiling with spectacular effect. The cistern was used with dramatic results in Orson Welle’s Othello. The Sea Gate is one of the town’s most unique features through which ships unloaded their cargo from the protected...

The desert.

by cachaseiro

Most of morocco is desert and there are plenty of options to go there when you are in Morocco.On my last trip to morocco we hired a jeep with a driver in southern Morocco and went in to the desert for 3 days where we stayed overnight with desert nomads.It was not the cheapest thing i have a done but a true adventure that i would recommend to anyone with a sense of adventure.

Mountain Escape In Chaouen, (or Chefchaouen)

by bobbynish

We traveled from Tangier by taxi up a mountainous road for a couple of hours, passing thru several interesting towns along the way as well as the clouds as you ascend higher up the mountain. We made one pit stop for water from a kind of make shift fountain with a pipe protruding from it off the side of the road. This water came directly from the top of the mountain, the freshest, best tasting water one could imagine... or maybe i was really thirsty. Anyway, reached Chefchaouen, you're immediately hit by the fresh air and brilliant colors of this small town, not too mention the occasional whiff of hashish... Finding a place to stay is easy, several hotels with varying price ranges. The place we stayed was very affordable. A restaurant with nice food and rooms upstairs (sorry, forgot the name). Walk thru the cobblestone streets lined with brilliant turquoise and white doors. Enjoy the main...

I hooked up with a native...

by Nomad_2001

I hooked up with a Moroccan resident (and friends) who brought me (by 4 wheel vehicle) to the Atlas mountains where we did some hiking and climbing. The views were really breathtaking and I highly recommend a side-trip to the Atlas mountains. You may also come across a berber village or campsite and this, in and of itself, is an extraordinary experience.

Take winter warmers for the kids when driving

by angiebabe

Each visit to Morocco Ive always taken things with me that I can give to the local families - especially the children - and especially when I was regularly visiting Telouet - many berber families are still living and working off the land and doing whatever they can do to earn enough to live on - living out in the remote villages usually means harsher living conditions - ie washing clothes by hand, minimal electrical appliances such as clothes dryers - so people seem to make do with less - it can be a good thing to take school stationery supplies and take them to a country school to distribute to children - tooth brushes and paste - I believe theres still that fine line between helping as in understanding lack and wanting to help make things better in any way and the notion that foreigners have everything and have it easy and give handouts - so put your handout and you will get something...

Jbel Tifirnine and Tizi-n-Tinififft

by sachara

When you go from Ouarzazate to the Draa Valley and Zagora, you will first pass an impressive and barren mountaineous area. It is the Jbel Tifrnine, the most eastern part of the Anti Atlas.When we took this route by hired car in 2008, we saw before we reached the col Tizi-n-Tinififft at 1660 m first black mountain slopes, blinking in the sun and deep cliffs. At the highest point we parked our car to look backwards to the breathtaking views in the direction of the High Atlas.Then we continued in the direction of the Draa Valley. On the way we saw many colours of the minerals in the rocks. Following the descending road we saw long slopes with lots of rolling stones and dry valleys and from here we the first views at the Draa valley below. I was surprised that I didn't remember how scenic this route was from the first visit 8 years before when we passed also these mountains with a...
