We know we say it a lot, but Morocco is such a unique and vibrant country, that it is really easy to find lots of reasons why you should book Morocco luxury tours – as you will see from this list of our top twelve reasons you should visit!
Reason One: The most beautiful and unique souvenirs
Morrocco is the ultimate travel destination for souvenir hunters and shopaholics alike thanks to its wide variety of beautiful and unique souvenirs, including luscious argon oil for your hair, colourful lanterns and ornate tea sets to decorate your home, and fragrant spices to flavour your cooking.
Although the souks in Marrakech are famous the world over, most of the other larger cities also have souks full of stalls, including Agadir, Casablanca and Fez.
Just remember to brush up on your haggling skills before your trip!
Reason Two: Tasty Moroccan food
Traditional Moroccan food is like everything else in the country – colourful and fragrant – as well as being juicy. There are lots of interesting flavour combinations you may not find anywhere else, such as tender chicken paired with tart green olives and tangy preserved lemon rind.
Tagine is one of our favourite dishes, but don’t forget to sample other traditional food such as the aubergine dip Zaalouk, couscous and of course, Harira soup. Harira soup is traditionally eaten at Ramadan, and is a rich combination of tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas and lamb.
Reason Three: The only blue city in the world
You only have to briefly scroll through Instagram to find fabulous shots of the only blue city in the world – Chefchaouen.
It really is a beautiful place, but is has also been plagued by confusion for a long time. There are many different theories as to why it is blue, such as:
- In order to follow traditional Jewish culture
- Keep the buildings cool
- Keep the mosquitos away
- It looks nice and attracts the tourists
Whatever the reason, it sure looks amazing, and makes a stunning backdrop for your Morocco tours holiday photos.
Reason Four: The history and culture of mint tea
Mint Tea holds a special place in the heart of Moroccan people as they consider it the drink of friendship and hospitality. It is usually prepared in front of guests with the tea preparer placing a large silver tray containing all of the ingredients onto the table first.
In Morrocco it is custom for a glass of mint tea to be poured three times at least, before it is considered to be perfectly blended. And, it is also traditionally poured from at least 12 inches above the glass.
Reason Five: The myriad of culture and history around you
Morocco is a country that is steeped in history and culture, reflecting everything from Arab and Berber influences, to Islamic, French and Spanish culture.
This mish-mash of beliefs, likes and dislikes has resulted in Morocco having a distinct and unique culture which it is renowned for the world over.
So, if you are looking for an escape from your everyday life and to experience something new, then Morocco is the destination for you.
Reason Six: Picture perfect Riads
There are lots of Riads all over Morocco, as this is the name for the traditional Moroccan house which is built around an interior garden or courtyard.
They are very beautiful buildings, and so quite often are seen on social media posts, as well as being the perfect escape from the busy hustle and bustle of the streets outside.
Reason Seven: Opulent and beautiful palaces
There are many opulent and beautiful palaces in Morocco, but one of the finest is the Bahia Palace in Marrakech, as it features both Islamic and Moroccan styles blended together in such a way as to capture the essence of both cultures perfectly.
You can escape the hustle and bustle of the main city at this palace, and while away a few hours surrounded by traditional archways, colourful fruit trees, intricate tile work and vibrant light fixtures.
Reason Eight: All the colours of the rainbow in one place
Morocco features all of the colours of the rainbow, from its blue cities, to its golden beaches and orange fruit trees.
Bright colours can be found all throughout Morocco, whether you are relaxing on the golden beach at Agadir, exploring the beautiful blue city of Chefchaouen, or shopping in the sense tingling souks of Marrakech.
Reason Nine: Unbelievable architecture everywhere
Morocco is one of the few countries in the world that has interesting and unique architecture pretty much at every turn!
From ancient ruins to opulent palaces to regal restaurants and traditional houses, the architecture throughout Morocco has to be seen to be believed.
Reason Ten: The haunting and beautiful call to prayer
One of the most unforgettable experiences of your life will be travelling along the roads leading to the High Atlas Mountains and hearing the beautiful sound of the daily call to prayer from the surrounding Minarets.
It is like nothing you have ever heard before.
Reason Eleven: Paradise Valley
Paradise Valley, set deep in the Atlas Mountains, is the perfect place for nature lovers and anyone who loves to walk and experience the natural countryside.
It is also a great place to head as a day trip from any of the nearby cities, such as Agadir or Marrakech.
Paradise valley is literally a paradise, full of acre upon acre of palm trees, dramatic cliffs and gorges, prickly cacti and winding rivers.
Reason Twelve: It has great weather all year round
Morocco can be described as being warm all year round – especially when compared to the UK.
Average temperatures in the winter reach about 12 degrees Celsius while in the summer it can get as hot as 3o degrees Celsius
