5 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT MOROCCO 🇲🇦 😍

The Sahara Desert, bazaars and souks are the perfect place to get lost 😍 Along the way you‘ll find many amazing animals and friendly people 🐪 🐍🐒 Our Morocco road trip felt like the perfect adventure without being too adventurous if you understand what I mean 😅 Here are our highlights to help you plan your trip: 🗺️ Places to visit / Things to do: We did an amazing road trip in the following order: 1.Chefchaouen - the blue city 💙 You’ll find many cats here 🐈 2.Fes -Make sure to visit the local tanneries but be prepared for the worst smell 🙈 3.Ouzoud - You can see wild monkeys here🐒 4.Marrakesh - Stay in a traditional riad in the Medina for at least 2-3 days 5.Ait Ben Haddou - This ancient city was in sooo many movies already 🐪 6.Sahara Desert - We stayed at Sahara Luxury Camp (dogs allowed) right in the desert 🏜️ 7.Dades Gorge - The nature looks stunning here 🌳 8.Taghazout - The perfect place to go surfing 🏄‍♂️ 9.Essaouira - If you‘re lucky you can spot goats that climb into trees to eat the fruits 🐐 It looks very funny 😄 10.Casablanca 🌈 🚗 How to get around Rent a car or bring your own vehicle 😁 We took the ferry from Algericas in Spain to Morocco (only 30 minutes) ⛴️ Always carry 2 wallets when you are on the road because the corrupt police will stop you all the time. In one wallet you can carry all of your valuables and the other one just has a little bit of cash inside to give away when the Police asks for it (they usually ask for a lot but if you show your almost empty wallet and say you don‘t have more they will accept it) 😅 ⏰ Best time to visit During the cooler months when it‘s not too hot ☀️ We visited during November and usually had around 20-25°C. cr：wanderlust_samoyed& Contact us for removal

The Blue City of Morocco

Getting There - There are many tours that charge £50-£60 online. However there is a location where ‘big taxis’ that go long journeys are located near CTM bus station in rout de tetoun. Big Taxis which are 7 seaters that costs £6pp one way. They collect the money beforehand and it takes about 2 hours to get there. Attractions - the blue city is an attraction itself, there is no fee to enter you just walk in and roam around. There are waterfalls located here too. Hotels - N/A Food & Restaurants - There are many restaurants and food here, you can find all kinds of Moroccan food and some restaurants have an upstairs if you want a view. There are also restaurants near the river and waterfalls. Shopping - The whole of Chefchouen has street vendors selling clothes, gifts and souvenirs you can buy and haggle. I really enjoyed this place but i have to warn you than the journey here has great views but the lack of straight roads may require you to take sickness pills as its very mountainous. You can spend as much time as you want here but for me 3-4 hours was enough. #chefchaoen #morocco #tanger #tangier

Cafe Restaurant Rahmouni

Cafe Restaurant Rahmouni is located in Av. Hassan II, 91000 Chefchaouen, Morocco, is open daily from 0900-0030. The restaurant offers the best variety of local and international cuisine, and has a balcony sitting overlooking the nature of the blue city at decent price. Friendly staff approach and greet you when you just come in the restaurant, and customers are free to sit anywhere. I had ordered a shrimp tagine and a banana shake. Tagine is a Moroccan cooking vessel that is conical in shape and acts as a slow cooker. Traditionally, tagine is both the pot and the food that is cooked in it and uses Moroccan bread to scope up the meat, vegetables and sauce. Normally, chicken, beef and lamb are common meats used in tagine cooking. Banana shake is not so cold, but the shrimp tagine taste nice, when you soak your bread into it.

Plaza Uta el Hamman is the main square of the medina of Chefchaouen, this wonderful square is a great place to just bask and explore, it is filled with restaurants, souvenir shops and sidewalk cafes some with a terrace ( rooftop ) sitting and comfortable places to just relax.

Map of Africa

Along the northwestern point of Africa, is the Caves of Hercules which is an archaeological cave complex located in Cape Spartel, 14 kilometers west of Tangier, Morocco. The cave has two openings, one to the sea and one to the land. The sea opening is known as " The Map of Africa", because there is a crack in the rock that resembles the outline of Africa. The cave itself is part natural and part man-made. The man-made part was used by Berber people to cut stone wheels from the walls. The lighting system, a feature of the latest restoration project, produces pleasant tones and contrasts. The caves were opened to the public in 1920, and declared as a National Heritage site in 1952.

I am watching the sea in Morocco, strolling through the port city of Tangier Tangier is a port city in northern Morocco, from the port of Tangier by ferry to Gibraltar, across the sea from Spain. Because it is close to Europe, the city's buildings are more European, and the new towns are full of high-rise buildings, cars and cars, a boom. Tangier has the most fascinating coastline and walks along the long coastline, and you seem to never come to an end. This city has once again subverted my perception of North Africa. It turns out that Africa can be like this. It can be very European. [ attraction] 1Sputter Point Lighthouse - Morocco's End of the Earth Spatel Point stands a yellow lighthouse, the lighthouse faces a vast The vast ocean. But this lighthouse has a special feature: it is the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the east. When the weather is fine, the tower is far away, and you can clearly see the two different shades of seawater at the border between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It is bounded by a lighthouse, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, and the Strait of Gibraltar on the other side. It is the most northwest corner of the African continent. It is also called the African Horn and is the closest place to Europe. Moroccan banknotes with a face value of 200DH, the pattern on the back is here. The high lighthouse faces the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. At night, the top of the tower is brightly lit, and the vessels must adjust the course accordingly. 2The full version of the map of Africa - Africa Cave African Cave The magical thing is that the contour of the hole looks like a full version of the African map. I heard that it has been a wave for thousands of years. The impact cave is naturally formed, so it is called the African Cave, and the waves of the waves will make some strange sounds. This cave has a history of 4,000 years and is naturally formed by waves hitting rocks for thousands of years. Therefore, the Hercules cave is also called the "hole of Africa." Hercules is a Hercules in ancient Greek mythology, so it is also called "Hercules Cave". The left part of the hole is naturally formed, and the right side is recently manually excavated. There is a place in the cave to take pictures of the tourists.

#Cola# [Review 9] to review Morocco's second city Morocco-Asilah The journey from Tangier to Asilah is 1 hour, because the cost of chartered car is not short because of time And how much cheaper, the pursuit of cost-effective Benjin cattle and the driver negotiated the stopover of the scenic spots on the road, accidentally experienced the riding on the beach side of the sea, while the beach is connected to the desert, riding the road to bump A relatively strong camel, classically covered with a red long scarf, everything is what the Moroccan tour should look like. It is also a small compensation for not having time to go to the Sahara experience! After has experienced the more lively style of Tangier, I feel that Asilah is more like a man-made attraction. The paint on the wall is new and rich, and the small items sold on the street also have a strong wind in the North African Yiwu. It feels like visiting a white-tune city market. Compared to Tangier, the building is significantly less detailed in terms of detailing and layering under cultural heritage. If you just pass by, you can spend a long time strolling around, drinking the freshly squeezed orange juice here, soaking in the sun, it is completely unnecessary for a few days, it is a place for half-day leisure. There are cats everywhere to suck~ Your Ms. Wei is a multinational cat dealer is not expensive. Open the rich mode remember to wear sunglasses. The town is very white and has a strong reflection under the sun.

Visiting the seaside town of Aixira is like stepping into a fairy tale world, with a feeling of walking into a painting. Artists paint on the streets and walls of residential buildings, with vivid works including abstract paintings, portraits, cartoons, and many related to daily life.
