Coasting in Morocco, Asilah

by Waxbag

Asilah was annex and colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century and was later a base for pirates in the 19th and 20th centuries. This area was a part of Spanish North Africa and has a slight Iberian flavor. The impressive ramparts are fully intact and sit directly over the crashing waves. Strolling through the medina is magical. Every turn is bursting with color and fantastic architecture. If you like moroccan doors than this is your place. The shutters and screens aren’t too bad either. Artists have been inspired by Asilah and many live here full time.The beaches are a big draw to this region. Paradise beach is very laid back, great for families, our daughter actually learned to walk on Moroccan beaches.Food here has an international flavor as well as Moroccan. Tajines and beef kababs are plentiful, but the seafood is exceptionally good.See the video at Coasting in Morocco, Asilah

The Blue City, Chefchaouen

by Waxbag

Situated on the edge of the Rif Mountains is one of the prettiest towns in Morocco. It is a perfect introduction to the country and also exemplifies Moroccan hospitality and openness. Chefchaouen was initially a base for Riffian berber tribes from which attacks on Portuguese Ceuta were made. After the fall of Granada in 1492 there was a wave of Muslim and Jewish refugees that flooded into Morocco. Here they introduced a distinct Andalusian architectural style including tiled roofs, hanging balconies, and courtyards. The result is breathtaking. Narrow cobbled-stoned streets meander through a maze of blue. Thankfully dead end alleys are painted white which is incredibly helpful when getting around. For many years Chefchaouen was insular and isolated. Christians were forbidden to enter the town on pain of death until the Spanish arrival in 1920. Now the town couldn’t be more friendly to...

Gardens

by solopes

Travelling along Morocco, you may find a "oasis" in its dry and arid landscape: in the road between Rabat and Kenitra, a luxurious garden is a man made miracle. A relaxing stop to cool a bit in a colorful spot.

Overnight in the Sahara

by al2401

From the town of Merzouga we were driven out to the edge of the Sahara desert close to the border with Algeria. The area is known as Erg Chebbi, a 50km long and 5km wide set of sand dunes that reach up to 350m. We left our luggage at an auberge, took overnight essentials and a sleeping sheet and mounted our camels for our safari to the desert camp. The camel train left after 3pm to avoid the heat of the day and arrived at the camp in time to settle in and climb the dunes for a look at a desert sunset. Back at camp we ate lamb tagine and couscous, played drums and joined in with Moroccan music. While we had tents to sleep in most chose to sleep under the stars.And what magnificent stars - very clear away from polution and light and very different for someone from the Southern Hemisphere. It was definitely a million star hotel. After an early start to catch the sunrise we mounted our...

Essaouira

by Leipzig

This 200 year old town was built by the Frenchs. Essaouira has a nice little collection of sights. The walled white town, the ramparts, the harbour and the streets of craftsmen working behind open doors.

Tip Photo
Agadir

by Leipzig

Agadir was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1960 that killed 15,000. The town differs in architecture from the rest of the country. Since this disaster new tourist resort with one hotel block next to anotherhave been built. If you want to see the real and traditional Morocco you should do some trips to surrounded towns like Essaouira or Marrakesh.

Marrakesh

by Leipzig

Marrakesh is the capital of the south. It's one of the four Imperial Cities. Its name comes from the word "Mraksh" which means "the town". Founded in 11th century by Abou Bekr, leader of the Almoravidsm. Until 1062 it was just a encampment before Youssuf Ibn Taschin built the first mosque here. Most of the stucco buildings have been colored in ochre or red, that's why Marrakesh is also called "The Red City". Today, you don't find cars in the centre because streets are too narrow to allow them.

The Medina - Fes

by al2401

Fes is the third largest city in Morocco and has a population of just over one million people. It is divided into 3 sections one of which is Fes el Bali - the old walled city. The medina of Fes el Bali is the larger of the two medinas in Fes and has been named a World Heritage site by UNESCO. It is thought to be the world's largest car free zone. There are places of business ranging from the smallest stall to large emporiums. You can buy anything and everything here. You can also easily get lost!There are maps available and the main routes are signed by coloured signs. There are also local guides who can show you particular things of interest like the famous Medresa Bou Inania, Nejjarine Caravanserrai (now a Wood and Craft museum) and Karauine Mosque (unless you are Muslim you can only look in through the gate).

Mausoleum of Mohammed V - Rabat

by al2401

The Mausoleum was built in 1971 for the then King Mohammed V. It also houses the tombs of his two sons, late King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. It is located next to the Hassan Tower and is built in a modern version of Alaouite dynasty architecture. Hassan II was buried there following his death in 1999.The tomb is a vast room with marble walls decorated by tiled designs and has an exquisite cedar wood dome decorated with gold leaf.Hassan Tower is the minaret of an incomplete mosque begun in 1195 AD. The tower and mosque were intended to be the world's largest but construction stopped in 1199 when Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour died.

Volubilis

by al2401

Volubilis is an ancient Roman town near Meknes. It is adjacent to the hillside town of Moulay Idriss. In 1997 UNESCO listed Volubilis as a World Heritage site with the best preserved remains in the region.Volubilis wasn't always Roman. Archaeology shows that it was built on a Carthaginian settlement which grew out of an existing neotholithic village. It was important for the Romans as a far western outpost with fertile land that was able to grow produce to be sent back to Rome.Rather than collapse when Rome withdrew, the town existed until the arrival of Idris in 788. It fell into decline after he died in 791 and Idris II moved to Fes. There were inhabitants until the 19th century when most of the marble was removed and the blocks were used for the construction of Moulay Idriss
