Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is the first of the best places to visit in Morocco which is known as the β€œPearl of the North,” it is the one spot you should not miss when visiting Morocco. Chefchaouen is unquestionably the best place to visit if you’re searching for new exotic destinations rich in history, culture, and a plethora of picturesque blue-washed doors.

Chaouen, as the locals refer to it, is a lot quieter and more peaceful than other Moroccan cities and towns. Chaouen’s people fascinate me because of their simplicity and hospitality.

All about the locals soothes my soul, from their pure smiles to their distinctive facial features to their modest lifestyle. They make daily life seem effortless as they go about their simple lives. I enjoy sitting in a cafΓ© and watching the locals come and go. I still roll my camera and savor some of those moments, but most of the time I just watch them go by and appreciate their special and strange way of life, which has little in common with ours. After a few moments of contemplation, I resume my stroll through the blue-washed narrow streets.

This town, nestled in the protective embrace of the mountains, is painted in a hundred shades of blue, with each corner displaying a different shade of blue.

One of my favorite things to do in Chefchaouen is to watch the sunrise from my Riad’s rooftop and to tell you the truth, Chaouen has the most magical sunrise you’ll ever see in Morocco. No words can adequately explain the charming view as the sun rises from the horizon, casting enough light on the blue houses while the mountains stand majestically in the background.

I still like to climb up the hill to the Spanish mosque and watch the sunrise from there, where a beautiful view of the city unfolds.

Merzouga Desert

3 days tour from errachidia sight morocco

The Merzouga Desert is the most spectacular part of Morocco’s Sahara Desert, with stunning reddish-yellow undulating dunes that are just what you picture when you think of a desert. While Algerian and Libyan sand dunes are more well-known, the Erg Chebbi dunes, south of Merzouga, are extremely impressive, standing 492 feet (150 kilometers) high.

By car or bus, it takes 10 hours to get from Marrakech to Merzouga (341 miles – 550 km). Since the distance is so great, you’ll usually stay in a hotel halfway through your trip.

Health and wellness tourism: During the months of July and August, more visitors flock to Merzouga to partake in Sand Baths treatments. Since the temperature is higher during these months. The treatment consists of burying the patients in burning sand for 5 to 10 minutes at a time, followed by periods of rest during which they must hydrate themselves by drinking spearmint tea. Routes through Merzouga’s desert

Some of the activities you can do while being in the Merzouga desert; When you arrive in the desert, you will ride a camel to your campsite. You will spend the night in a Berber tent as the resting place. At dusk, you’ll usually have a traditional meal, which is sometimes followed by musicians who liven up the occasion.

One of the highlights of the trip is seeing the sunrise first thing in the morning. Also, routes and excursions in the area for 4Γ—4, dromedaries, quads, buggies, and bicycles. Beautiful landscapes abound in this area, as do numerous routes and tracks suitable for 4Γ—4 vehicles.
