The Fabulous Journey Of A Morocco Private Tour

By Allyson Burke


A Morocco private tour will be an exceptional journey through the many layers and centuries of a remarkable ancient and modern culture. This nation located in Western Sahara desert, with beaches on the Mediterranean and Atlantic is a North African getaway. Moroccan lore is marvelously convoluted. The people, the food and music are warm, lulling, and exotic. Fantastic buildings from the Roman empire lie in ruins. These sites await you as the preeminent treasures of a country alive with 35 million inhabitants.

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.

A wondrous tour is to visit the imperial cities. Fes, a 9th century city and Marrakesh, founded in the 11th century are both filled with cultural treasures, ruins, and ancient buildings. Fes is home to a university founded in 859. Marrakesh has some of the most beautiful palaces and royal gardens as well as modern skyscrapers and entertainment. Through these cities one can see the layering of cultures which make up Moroccan culture.

The current capital is Rabat, a 12th century city. This city is more than worth visiting to understand fully how the kingdom works and what are the political elements that keep 35 million people together.

A range of exceptional activities may be found when visiting and touring this marvelous jewel of a country. Museums and monuments abound. There are also modern tourist stores and hotels, the old traditional markets for shopping or souks where spices, weaving, rugs and so forth can be found in plenty. Walking through the markets one sees the most joyful collection of traders, bickering shoppers, strange musicians, children, and dancers. Beyond cities lies the Atlas mountains and Sahara desert.Classes in dancing, cooking and weaving are also pleasurable.

Let a comfortable air conditioned van pick you up at the airport. Tours are designed this way. Then continue on bikes, camels, and by foot. Special trips leave from Spain, cross the Strait and leave the traveler agape at the shores of Morocco. A good read of William Burroughs or the letters of Paul Bowles before you arrive is always thrilling. These writers exiled here.

Languages are mingled together in Arabic, French, and Berber dialect. Spanish is also frequent as there was colonial presence at one time. Anyone traveling should take in the daily life and savor it as long as possible. Time is very different in Morocco. Short day trips to Tangier, Casablanca and small coastal towns can be had and add dimension to your visit.

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.
