Cheap Holiday Deals To Morocco

When you think of Morocco, you think of glistening mosques, chanting imams, rich scents of spices in the air. You dream of tiled mosaics, fine silver and gold jewellery and food that smells floral and fruity and spicy all at once. Here are some tips to finding cheap holidays and cheap holiday deals to Morocco.

Morocco is a country situated along the Northern Coast of Africa along the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Home to more than thirty two million people, this nation is one of few nations in the world which runs under a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament.

While staying in Morocco, you can choose from a number of different regions to stay in. Essaouira is a favorite region for many to holiday at. It has a lot to offer those who love to wander the beaches. There, visitors can enjoy the splendid surroundings and incredible service at some of the local hotels such as the Ryad Lyon-Mogador or the Riad Malaika. Ouarzazate is another area that is popular as is Fes.

If you are looking for adventure, Morocco has plenty for you to experience. Essaouira offers several options that can make your visit to Morocco a memorable one. How about starting your day with a drive over the dunes in a landrover? Make a stop at a Berber farmhouse and experience the food and culture of the people there. Take a flight in a hot air balloon. Sway through the dunes on the back of a camel. Or a simple horse back ride along the beach.

When in Fes, take a trip to the Fez Mullah cemetery and to the rest of the Jewish quarter which was largely vacated in the nineteen sixties. There, you can also see the synagogue. While in Fes, visitors can enjoy a walk through a fourteenth century school, the Bou Inania Medersa. This six century old building is still, amazingly enough, in use as both a school and a place of worship.

Morocco is a shopper’s paradise. The variety of things for sale at the souk (market) is hard to describe, no matter which city or town you may visit. While shopping for clothing, you may find yourself being entertained by dancers and musicians in the market square. Acrobats or storytellers may command your attention while you haggle for the best prices on jewellery or leather. At night, you will find all sorts of open air restaurants in the square.

The food in Morocco is influenced by many cultures. The Moors and Spanish people have left their mark upon the cuisine of Morocco, as have the Berbers, the Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and African peoples. Because of these many influences, much of Moroccan cuisine is rich in spices and flavours. Some of the favorite spices for cooking involve mint or saffron. Lemons or oranges make appearances in many foods as well. Most meals in Morocco are served with some couscous as either a side dish or accompanying the main course which often includes either chicken or beef, and occasionally lamb.

When in Morocco, be prepared for the typical Mediterranean climate. At times it can be very hot and humid, at times very cool and dry. The climate provides for great biodiversity – indeed, Morocco is home to more than 470 bird species. There is always something wonderful for you to find right around the corner while on holiday in Morocco.
