🛍️ Visit the Souq (Bazar, Local Market)

You can notice at every step:

white medinas (towns) with busy and crowded bazaars,

grand mosques, amazing palaces with exquisite architecture,

where life flows undisturbed for centuries, and,

at the other end of the extreme,

wide boulevards, modern skyscrapers,

beautiful tidy buildings, hotels and clubs,

just like in other countries of the world.

But the trademark of Morocco is given by the scented gardens

that provide you with shadow and lure you with the most pleasing perfumes

in a cool atmosphere, protecting you from the African heat.

☕ Mint Tea and Local Hospitality

Open your heart when a local merchandiser invites you

to drink a glass of mint tea – the national drink,

considered the beer of Morocco –

which is, of course, a sample of the witty local humour,

as it is well-known that Islam forbids alcohol.

Also, indulge yourself in the craft of bargaining when you visit the souq (bazar, local market),

otherwise the merchants will feel a bit insulted.

Besides, the merchants will appreciate your skills

and deliberately lower their prices if you do.

🏺 Museums and Historical Treasures

And what is a trip abroad without visiting historical artifacts and museums?

Morocco has plenty to offer.

From Roman and Phoenician relics of over 2500 years old,

to Berber, Vandal and Arab terraces,

to colonial powers – each corner of Morocco is replete

with legends about warriors, conquerors, modern spies, and heroes

who remained in the collective memory

and are awaiting a new visitor to fascinate and come back to life

through the perpetual process of storytelling

that will be continued through every visitor,

after going back to his home country.
