A Fairy Tale In North Africa
If you have never been to Morocco before you are in for a real treat. You can arrange your trip by searching for tour holidays Morocco on the internet.
There you have various options available, both in price and the length of your stay, but all holidays follow roughly the same route, arriving in Marrakech and from there travelling through the country.
Because of its location in North Africa many cultures have converged in this country which is reflected in the cuisine and in the diverse places of differing architecture you will visit if you should choose to go on a 15 days trek through the country.
When you arrive in Marrakech you will be catapulted headlong in this fascinating city’s culture. Amongst others, you will be touring the aromatic streets around the souks which are so typical of this country.
During the next fifteen days you will experience the dramatic sights around the Atlas Mountains where you will visit a couple of gorges. Although you will mainly be staying in four star hotels, there is a night under the stars in Bedouin tents included.
Although you will be staying in several towns along the way, like Casablanca, which was made famous in a film, the most dramatic place that you will be visiting is the town of Fez.
This town is still stuck in the middle Ages and there is a noticeable strong French influence still present. Although you will be making a tour of the city, you really need about four days to explore all the wonders that this town has to offer.
