It is always good to travel to new places. If you have the time, money, and passion for travel and fun, you could head off to some of the best vacation destinations in the world every year. A great place that you could explore anytime soon is Morocco. Generally a Muslim nation, Morocco is extremely diverse in terms of its landscape. In addition to its coastlines, the country has dry and arid deserts, mountains, and forested regions.
In addition, it has a very rich cultural heritage with European and Arab influences. Morocco is mainly occupied by Berbers and Arabs. The former are believed to be descendants of the Portuguese and Spanish who escaped the Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula in the 15th century. Home to one of the most reputable and desirable long sandy beaches along the Atlantic coast, (Casablanca) Morocco is a great place to go with your family.
As you can already speculate, water sports and wind sports are common activities for tourists. The most famous of all sports is surfing. In case you come to surf, just head straight for the coastal towns with surf breaks. So you want to go to the Mediterranean coasts, the North Atlantic coast or the South Atlantic coast. To see the famous beach of Casablanca you will have to go to Rabat, the capital of the country, on the North Atlantic Coast. There are many things to see and do here, especially for couples who want to have the most memorable honeymoons.
In addition to this, be sure to visit the Atlantic Coast of Tangier which offers the cleanest and coldest waters. It is best visited in the hot months of July and August. If you cannot travel in summer, your alternative destination is the Mediterranean coast of Tangier. If you love a coastal area surrounded by mountains, be sure to check out Plage Quemada, Al Hoceima. It is in the middle of the Rif Mountains that lie along the northern coast of the Mediterranean.
Although it is always crowded and busy, Plage Quemada beach is totally clean, beautiful and picturesque. There is also another beach called Asfiha, which is not recommended for swimmers or those who like beach walks due to its shallow water levels and sticky, dirty sand. So this place is probably ideal for sightseeing, especially for visiting the Spanish island.
Agadir’s beaches are located on the Atlantic coast in the southwestern region of the country. It is ideal for lovers of water sports who can go to both private beach areas and long sandy beaches for the public. Tangier beach is obviously perfect for surfing and other water activities and you can get some basic training if you are new to it. Surrounded by huge mountains, Tangier is one of the most attractive beaches in the Atlantic Ocean.
It is loved by tourists and locals alike, and its whitewashed houses are also special landmarks. As you extend your trip in Morocco, remember to pick up some souvenirs to bring back to your friends and family. Good examples include tagines, handmade berber rugs, birad, argan oil, spices, and leather accessories, among other things.
