The Fabulous Journey Of A Morocco Private Tour

By Allyson Burke


Morocco private tour is a magical and mystical journey through centuries of ancient and more modern history. This is the most western, Mediterranean and ocean fronted African nation. Moroccan lore is deep; the people warm and funny, the food and music lulling, spicy, exceptional. Fantastic buildings and ruins await you as you uncover the treasures of this marvelous place. It is all to be enjoyed and savored.

Even the Moroccan landscape is full of musical swells and lulls. Gold, orange desert sands slide into azure nights and seas made for romance, piracy and photography. Dark eyes peer out from under dyed cloth as children and men whisper, laugh, spit, and play in the kasbah, medina, or souk. Late afternoons offer robust tea time, lazy conversations, and an array of cool shadows to rest in. The burgeoning post-colonialist literature from here is full of dramatic fictional characters and great stories of passion and philosophy. The landscape always plays a significant role.

Visit the imperial cities of this kingdom and discover the mysterious, bejeweled treasures of the ancient capitals. Fes, is 9th century and a cultural center and home to the oldest university on Earth, founded in 859. A visit to Marrakesh, about which Joni Mitchell sang, which was founded during the 11th century, and is famous for its trade, intrigue, food, wine, and other delights. The architecture and beauty of Moroccan design is rapturous. Fabrics, dishes, doors, and people are decorated.

The country's capital, Rabat, from the twelfth century is poised on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg and has a shipping port as well as capital buildings and foreign embassies. The city lies across the river from Sale and together with Casablanca they form one of the most densely populated areas.

Exceptional activities such as camel riding await you. Treks can be taken to the desert or mountains. Cultural museums and ruins of ancient monuments are found throughout. Modern shopping lies next to the most traditional of medina, kasbah or other market where vendors and stalls are crammed in and shouting their wares. Foods for cooking wonderfully aromatic dishes can be found in these places. Taking a class is a good idea.

Many tours will take place in comfortable air conditioned vans which pick you up at the airport, on bikes, camels, and by foot. There are special trips which leave from Spain and day trips to Tangier with short stops in both Tangier and Casablanca ports. Relive romance with William Burroughs, Paul Bowles, and Tennessee Williams' books in your back pocket.

A mix of Arab, Berber, and French cultures, a trip to this country needs to take in daily cultures as well as the relics of ancient regimes, the Saharan Desert with its high temperatures and dunes, and especially the sea. Mysteries lie in the heart of Tangiers, Casablanca, and small coastal towns.

Chabbi music, a trance like dancing music is the modern rock of Moroccan people. Kick boxing is a popular national sport along with soccer, tennis, and others. There is plenty of wild, world-class nightlife and tremendous foods to sample. A Morocco private tour is the best way to participate and lose oneself altogether to this beautiful and ancient place.
