South of Morocco

it’s not Petra, Jordan’s tourist region, It’s a “Der Wassan” in “Nador”, an iron mine that has attracted Spanish colonialism.

Bustling, locally loved street food stalls found out from morning until late night prove there’s more to the food scene in Morocco than bubbling meaty tajines and mountainous platters of couscous, the dishes with which the dominion is most famously associated. But just like the diverse cultures and changing landscapes across this stretch of North Africa , so too does the road food vary from region to region and city to city. Here’s where to devour the simplest at any time of day.

Travel to the dominion of Morocco and you’ll encounter the thousands of years of history that dwell alongside the fast-paced lifestyles of the new millennium. From ancient medinas and Arabic dialects to bustling cities like Tangier and modern movie magic on desert studio lots, Morocco blends old and new during a way that always feels fresh. 

Morocco rests atop of the African continent, right nearby to Europe’s the Iberian Peninsula. Additionally, it’s the western fringe of the MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) region, hence the importance of its name – Morocco means “the west”, and likewise, the country may be a fusion of the intersecting cultures and geography which collide during this corner of the planet.

Whether it’s your first time to the Western Kingdom or a return visit, you’ll always find something new experience. Here are 10 of our absolute favorites.

Chefchaouen is understood because of the Blue City of Morocco. just like the name says most of the homes are painted blue. it had been painted blue by the Jewish refugees who lived there an extended time ago. It’s a well-liked tourist destination but definitely not too crowded. you’ll easily spend two days within the town just wandering around.

The beautiful country of Morocco is located in the extreme north western region in Africa. It lies in the great Sahara desert and is a region where the climate is usually very hot. Moroccan climate is Mediterranean type of climate which goes extreme towards the interior region. The climate is very humid and place to place it varies also. Even in some places it is very dry especially where the region faces Sahara desert. The summer lasts here for very long time.

Morocco Rest Stop

The Morocco Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase is one of my favorite areas of the park to photograph. Around every corner, there is something unique and interesting to be found.

The Moroccan Pavilion, designed to look like a Moroccan city with a realistic Minaret, features the only pavilion in which the country’s government aided in the design. Guests to the pavilion gain insight on the lifestyle and culture of the Moroccan people through the Gallery of Arts and History. The Fes House shows guests the typical Moroccan house. Inside the pavilion, North African plants including citrus trees, date palms, and olive trees, and fountains. The courtyard plays hosts to entertainment, including a belly dancing show in the evening. Restaurant Marrakesh, along with the Tangierine Cafe, serve Moroccan fare, including roast lamb in Tajine, Couscous, and Harira soup. Six shops adorn the pavilion, selling patrons everything from rugs to leather goods, and traditional Moroccan clothing.

Some of the major defining structures of the pavilion include Chellah, a replication of the necropolis in Rabat, and the Koutoubia, a replica of the minaret of the same name in Marrakesh. A replica of Bab Boujeloud, the gateway to the Fez medina leads you to a Bazaar area.

King Hassan II actually sent Moroccan artisans to design and create the many mosaics. Due to Islamic religious beliefs on the content of art, the mosaics contain no representations of people. The government also sponsors the pavilion, while a corporation holds sponsoring rights on every other pavilion.

The Tower of Terror in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is seen at an angle from the Morrocan pavilion, and the top of the Tower is designed so it blends in with the Moroccan architecture.
