Awesome Morocco

Ancient! Exotic! Fascinating! Vibrant! Multi-cultural! are some of the outstanding aspects that define Morocco. Indeed Morocco stands up, tall and true to these exclamations that come from those who have experienced such emotions. Located on the western part of North Africa, Morocco stands proud of its rich and ancient culture, with many of its big cities making tours of Morocco the most sought after adventures.

These ancient cities depict their own identities with their own exclusive endowments. Casablanca adorns the world’s largest mosque, with the world’s largest minarets. Fez, one of the most famous cities of 18th century, is known for Karaouine University, which is older than the Oxford University in London. The city also markets ornate metal handicrafts and carpets. Marrakech is known as the Pink city and is one of the most famous cities that has many museums, mosques and palaces, worth seeing.


Tours of Morocco take us to these vibrant cities and their ancient culture, feeding on magicians, snake charmers, musicians, street dancers and belly dancers. After the night falls, it is party time for Moroccans when they feast themselves on traditional couscous and kababs.
These tours throw light on the lifestyle of the local people who live in high walled houses that seem to be gaining an urbanized and a modern outlook. Also it is observed that only men visit the local cafes over a cup of coffee or so, whereas hardly any women are visible. The Moroccan women seem to be the oppressed gender behind several traditions and discriminations of the country.

Morocco is a place that seems to be a blend of both rural and urban culture…All in all, it is an awesome place to visit that is bound to pull you back, sooner or later.
