Morocco

Morocco

Colors is the only word that aptly describes Morocco. Photographers consider it the kingdom of heaven thanks to rich colors, beautiful scenery, picturesque cities and always smiling people. It is also one of the reasons why Holywood filmmakers often head to Morocco to shoot their next movie. The old ksary, the shrines, the dishes, the markets, the wild valleys, the snow-capped mountains and the beautiful southern countryside make Morocco a must-sea destination for true a traveler. Spend some time on the long, endless, desolate beaches of the wild Atlantic, wander through the legendary Casablanca or watch bird colonies in the seaside lagoons. On your way from the famous Marrakech to Ouirgane you will find yourself in the canyons, whilst in the direction of Oukaimeden you can take your skis or mountaineering equipment and climb Jabal Tubkal to a height of 4,165 meters. If you pass through the Draa, Dades and Ziz valleys, you will see the fantastic Taourirt, Tifoultoute and Ait Benhaddou, or you can meet the Tuaregy in the desert near Zagora on their 52 days long journey to Timbuktu atop a camel.

Morocco has to much to offer that it will satisfy all senses, interests and wishes. Local architecture, craftsmenship and art is heavely inspired by the supreme Islamic influence. Given that Morocco's history has had very few periods of foreign rule, cultural continuity is absolutely unique and the Morrocon identity is unmistakable. It is embeded in the excellent Moroccan cuisine tas well as in local craft products that have become a desirable and admired element in the design world. Although manual craftsmenship is dying worldwide or even disappearing in many nations, it is still the center of events in Morocco and undoubtedly an important asset. In this context the royal cities and Essaouira are representative examples.

Weather

As far as the weather is concerned one can aptly say that Morocco is "a cold country with a hot sun". Of all the North African states it has the widest palette of weather conditions. Although the subtropics should guarantee a comparable climate with California or Southern Europe, the local altitude and winds play a crucial role.

The weather in the lowlands is pleasant and rich in precipitation, especially in spring and autumn. Western winds usually bring cooler air.

The areas of the Rif, Middle and High Atlas mountains are rich in rainfall and in some areas there are even ski resorts (near Marrakesh, Ifrane). Snow in these areas holds for about six to eight months before it completely melts. Rainy cold winters are not unusual in the desert areas whereas summer is usually dry and hot with the exception of coastal areas. There the weather is way more intense as the area is closer to the Sahara. To ilustrate that summer temperatures in Marrakech reach up to 48 degrees celsius. On the other hand in the seaside city of Agadir you may witness fog in August. Diversity of the climate ensures a varied mix of landscape types, excellent opportunities for phothographers and remarkable experiences. If you are traveling to Morocco for the first time go there in spring or autumn. Swimming is most ideal in June, September and October. Hotels have the lowest prices due to high holiday temperatures in Summer.
