Morocco Vacations
from: Mansi guptaMorocco is a place where sand embraces the sea and snow. The
charismatic beauty of the place is such that it lures visitors
from around the world. The southern coast of Morocco converges
in the Western Sahara whereas its northern sides are enveloped
by the bedazzling snow capped Atlas Mountains. The Atlas
Mountains not just add to the scenic splendor of the place but
also safeguard it against its hostile neighbor, Algeria. The
area between the mountains and Morocco's Atlantic coast is
covered with fertile plains. Beautiful gorges venturing into the
sand and stony wastes of Sahara desert can be witnessed at the
edge of the Anti Atlas.
Morocco cities are places worth visiting. Perhaps the oldest
city of this place is Fes. Fes is also known as the heart of
morocco. The medina of Fes el-Bali or Old Fes is one of the
largest living medieval cities in the world today. The
magnificent gates and walls here add to the grandeur of the
place. The Moroccan city of Marrakesh is known for its rich
culture and heritage. Marrakesh is the former capital of
morocco. Today the city is famous for its vibrant markets and
festivals. To keep its visitors especially children busy the
city presents a plethora of activities by magicians, snake
charmers, acrobats etc. Spring and autumn seasons are ideal to
explore this wonderful city. The city of Rabat displays a
perfect confluence of historical events and contemporary
developments. The ambience of this city is Islamic as well as
European in nature.
Other pulls of morocco include Ait Benhaddou, the most exotic
and best-preserved kasbahs in the entire Atlas area. It is one
amongst the coveted place for film shootings. The beautiful
Central Medina is a huge square in the medina that is the
backdrop for one of the world's greatest spectacles. From
open-air food stalls to storytellers, snake charmers and
musicians here you will find every source of entertainment. Be
it any time of the year the Hasan II Mosque, the world's third
biggest religious monument is seldom left unvisited. The
exterior of the mosque bears a French design while its interior
is dedicated to the Moroccan style. If you want to see the
largest and the well-kept Roman ruins in morocco then Volubilis
is the place you need to hit. The origins of Volubilis can be
traced back to 2nd and 3rd centuries AD though excavations
reveal that Carthaginian traders discovered the site.
The month of May is swarming with Muslims because of the
Mousseum of sid Mohammed Ma al-Ainin festival. This is an
occasion to see the 'blue people' i.e Tuareg nomads of Sahara.
Also popularly known is the National folklore Festival of
Marrakesh. It is a ten-day event that is attended by dancers,
musician and other entertainers from all the corners of the
city. November is the month of celebration of Independence Day
in Morocco.
