Morocco is a beautiful country with over two thousand miles of beautiful, sandy shores, an extremely culturally diverse population, intricate architecture and colorful art. For many generations people from all over the world have traveled far and wide to experience its attractions which are as diverse as its people, from the markets of Marrakesh to the massive Saharan sand dunes that expand into the horizon as far as the eye can see (ideal for adventure travel). Traversing the arid and expansive desert is made much more enjoyable with the company of a camel, and some even choose to make their way across the landscape on noisy and fast off road motorbikes for an added adrenaline rush during their expedition. Camping under a clear sky of endless stars is not uncommon during the milder times of year, and such an environment can at times feel otherworldly for the intrepid adventurer.
For those looking for more human interaction, or a richer taste of the culture Morocco has to offer in all its forms, the marketplace is a bustling, energetic place to meet friendly new people, or, on a desert expedition share some tea with the nomadic Berber people. While classical Arabic is the official language of the country, it is not uncommon at all to find entrepreneurs who speak other languages specifically for use in commerce. The second most popular language is French, followed closely by Spanish and the ever increasing in popularity English; those on adventure tours from foreign lands visiting Morocco generally need not worry excessively about being unable to communicate with the locals. After a bit of searching, it should be relatively easy to find someone familiar with your native tongue. Of course, taking the time to learn enough basic Arabic to haggle effectively will certainly increase your odds of finding a better deal than you might be able to otherwise on your adventure. Shoppers can look forward to an endless array of intricate pottery, fresh food, mountains of dried fruit, and endless rows of colorful garb, excellent for taking presents home after your adventure.
Those of you looking for serious adventure, travel to the several mountain ranges nearby. There are near endless amounts of trails which are traveled by many as a way to relax, have fun, and get to know the unique land in the area. These mountains are generally quite large; those looking to rock climb and hike will find no shortage of faces to scale or winding paths to wander. Just make sure you’re up for it. There are more than ten peaks with elevations over twelve thousand feet! For more relaxing expeditions, some are inclined to make the voyage on the backs of horses or mules. All of these options are indeed viable methods for experiencing your outdoor adventure, though there are even more ways that remain unmentioned. For a taste of the sea, one needs not venture far. Morocco is bordered by the Atlantic ocean as well as the Mediterranean sea, which means that sailing, kayaking, water skiing and similar activities are never far away. The coastline is expansive, and fresh seafood is always plentiful in the nearby towns and cities. Casablanca, the largest city in the country is crammed with seaports and is especially well known for its affordable and delicious seafood restaurants.
Whether looking to get away from the crowds or to get lost in them, Morocco is sure to deliver and will likely exceed one’s expectations.
