So you have planned your next vacation to Morocco and wondering what you should be doing while visiting to this amazing desert land? Let me guide you through what you should be doing during your Morocco private holidays.
Amble through the splendid Blue Streets of Chefchaouen :
Placed in the heart of Morocco's Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is actually quite wonderful to look at. The avenues & most of the constructions in the medina are painted in brilliant sky blue color. The mountains that you can witness at the end of each paved avenue are rugged & imperial. The crystal-clear mountain light adds an enthralling touch to this place. It could be your favorite place to amble, shop as well as sip in the Moroccan mint tea.
Learn how to cook classic Moroccan foods:
The Moroccan cuisines have been influenced by Arabic Andalusian cuisine, native Berber cuisine, Middle Eastern cuisine and Turkish cuisine brought by the Arabs. French influence came afterward and the infusion between classical French and Moroccan cuisines is at the heart of the several of the fine dining experiences in Morocco nowadays. Many Riads provide cooking classes in Fes, Marrakech and Essaouira. Usually a half day cookery workshop will provide you the opportunity to buy fresh ingredients from the bazaar, and then produce a classical tagine & a couscous dish. It is a wonderful way to soak yourself in Morocco's culture.
Steam in a classical Hammam:
In Morocco the hammam is an open steam bath. Hammams happen to be the only place in Morocco where people could come to take bathe, since a private bathroom in an apartment or home was a luxury that many couldn't pay for. Nonetheless, getting a fine scrub at any local hammam is an excellent cultural experience that you shouldn't miss if you are after luxury Morocco holidays. It provides female tourists in particular an excellent opportunity to meet & chat with local women. There're high-end hammams in Riads & luxury lodges that provide western-style massages & scrubs, whilst still employing local stuffs.
Spend a night in the Sahara Desert:
The Sahara desert of Morocco is an enthralling place to spend a night or two. The most renowned region to discover is the awe-inspiring Saharan sandscape in Merzouga. The Erg Chebbi dune may seem familiar if you have watched Hollywood movies like The Mummy or SATC2. The best way to explore the sands of Sahara is through camel, though 4×4's are renowned if you consider yourself a professional driver.
Last but not the least, private tours to Morocco is the best way to explore what this land has to offer. So, look for a tour operator that is specialized in scheduling private tour.
