Horse rides and treks around Essaouira

by pacha2

To experience the real Morocco, discover the surrounding of Essaouira (countryside, beaches, dunes, argan trees, berber villages,...), I recommand horse rides (for everybody including beginners, good riders and children) or horse trekking (for good riders). The team of Zouina-cheval (www.zouina-cheval.com) propose horse trekking and horse rides in Diabat, a small berber village situated at 3 km from the medina of Essaouira. They are very good and professional so do not hesitate to contact them if you are interested!!! They have good equipment but if you have a riding helmet and you want to use one, bring it along!

Playing Cards

by JamalMorelli

For the punishing version of this game (no money, just spanks) You must play this game to NOT lose - got it? Otherwise there is a severe hand-whacking waiting for you at the end...no matter who you are (even though polite and timid folks bow out with a 'la3fu'... A pack of Moroccan playing cards that will be mutilated by the end of the game through folding, throwing, dramatic wins or losses...

Practice Martial Arts just about anywhere

by JamalMorelli

Even though this could come as a bit of unbelievable stuff: There are gyms on almost every block - and in almost as many are opportunities to train and get a great workout. The sport tip here is for people who are little more puggy and enjoy a good scrap. Fes is wealthy with talented fighters, so just duck into to any of the gyms you see along the streets and see if they have a padded floor. There's your clue! Or, as I would like to stress in this tip, train in your own place! Better if you have your own gloves, the gym gloves are fairly foul. You can buy them at some gyms.

Rugby Lite - Daily Moroccan Life

by JamalMorelli

Though it is considered bad form to bodycheck old women in the States, you may find yourself doing it here. Do it without anger, and you will be excused. This Rugby Lite is performed at banks, on buses, trains, utilities drop-offs, baggage claims, etc. Anyway there are more than 5 people and queue - beef up, baby, cuz' you will need to assert your self.

Surf's up!

by svenserena

Alright, Morocco is a fairly known place for surf travellers! So if you need detailed information just check some surfing websites or surf guide books. All I can say it's a wicked place to go in winter (northern hemisphere). It's still warm outside and the water is not too cold (3.2 Wetsuite should be alright). Most of the spots are gathered around Taghazoute. Surf camps are plenty full and are a good bet to score good waves. The camps bring you to the spots further noths which is quite important if there isn't too much swell around! If the swell is pumping go to the famous spots like Anchor Point, Killer Point or Boilers. It is quite crowded but Killers handles the crowd quite good since they spread out! There are spots for all typ of skills.Just go there and I'm sure you will like it! There are a few surf shops in Taghazoute but don't rely on them. Bring all you need. For the very few...

hight Atlas treks , Mountain Tour guide Morocco

by aztat

Morocco is a great destination with wonderful trails, wild mountains, fascinating people and a dozen summits over 4000 metres high - they're not called the High Atlas for nothing! Lower elevation treks are available too. English speaking guide(s) cook your meals, and mules carry all the essentials so you can enjoy travelling light and spend your day exploring ancient villages, pastoral valleys and hidden passes that lead to panoramic ridges. Far above dramatic stark crags and rocky trails contrast with terraced village gardens and ruined kasbahs. You can wander at will and perhaps bag a few peaks. My trekking itineraries are designed to be integrated into a tailor-made holiday and are, therefore, independent and private to each client rather than fixed date departures of large groups and because of this freedom they have become very popular with those who really wish to get away from it...

Soccer Bug, or for non-Americans, A Football Bug

by JamalMorelli

Pick up soccer in the street, on a beach, at a park is a great way to get to know people. Moroccans totally dig on the sport and it has a rabid following. Just jump into a game - no one will refuse you. And you can communicate your excitement at being in Morocco through your playing. Moroccan kids love to break out flashy moves that don't always benefit their teams but look cool. Go on, jump in, boo. Shorts, comfy shoes, and anything else you'd wear for a pick up game.

camel riding

by xaver

There are many sports acrivities available in Morocco, hiking and surfing are the more popular for tourists.As my vacation was not that long, I just experinced a camel riding in the desert, the scenery was just breathtaking and for someone who only rode a bycicle untill that moment, the camel riding required some effort. A blanket and a very light legguage.
