visit these places with us and beyond


 

Chefchouen or the bleu city in Morocco . This city is beautiful , a relaxing place with different vibes . It is good to spend two nights here to have enough time to see it all . every bleu street is different than the other and that makes you want to explore more than take more photos . At night it is good to eat in one of the restaurants in the square of Auta Hamamm .

Visit also at the foot of Jebel Zerhoun the Roman ruins of Volubilis .The site was inhabited during the Neolithic period and was occupied by the Carthaginians and the by the Romans . You will see a fascinating old mosaic .


Bab El Mansour in Meknes . At the far end of the Palace Lalla Aouda stands the Bad Et Mansour el Aleuj ( gate of the victorious Renegade ) . The gate , one of the most beautiful in Morocco , was the last architectural project undertaken on the orders of Moulay Ismail . Seeing it as the expression of the most refined and original taste , the French writer Pierre Loti described the gate,s rosettes , stars , endlessly intertwined broken lines and intricate geometric patters as a vast , dazzling puzzle made of thousands of tiny pieces of raised and indented glazed pottery .

The tanneries .The Chouara , the colorful tanners, quarter , spreads out along the banks of the Oued Fez .The view from the rooftops is a memorable one : clusters of stone vats filled with red , yellow and brown dyes , and skins hanging everywhere , drying in the sun . worth a visit !!
Ride the ATVs on the sand dunes of Merzouga . There are other things to do , like tour around the Erg Chebbi sand dunes , camel ride as well , hike in one of the oases . and the best of all is to spend a night in one of the camps inside the sand dunes . like in the photo below 



This a camp in the middle of the sand dunes , luxury tents with private toilets , showers , sometimes even air conditioning!!! 





Go for walk in the Todgha gorge . it is the narrowest and most spectacular section of the gorges we have in Morocco . Its towering walls of rock ( 985 feet high ) is only 65 feet wide .
And if you are lucky to come across this group of musicians playing the traditional music some where between the Todgha Gorge and Kelaa Mgouna ( the capital of roses in Morocco ) . Women dress in colorful and men dress white  Jeleba and sing together . And the name of group is called Tzwit which means a bee , because they dance with fast movements like a bee .
Visit to the fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou  . It has been classified by UNESCO as one of the world,s cultural treasures . It is studded with crenelated towers and its building decorated with lozenged motifs and it is considered to be one of the most beautiful villages of its kind in Morocco .

The bleu and white town of Essaouira ,ancient Mogador , seems to defy the ocean .There are many art galleries tucked away in this fortified town , and through almost every doorway can be seen a craft workshop .while the harbor springs to life at first light , it is in the late afternoon in the maze of narrow streets of the souks on either side of the Avenue Mohamed Zerktouni that storyteller , musicians and healers are found .
