Morocco Private Tour Is A Magical Journey

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.

The nation is politically set up as a kingdom. One must discover its imperial capitals. These are ancient cities decked out in treasure and history. 9th century Fes has long been a refined cultural center. It is believed to be the home of the oldest university which was founded in 859. Marrakesh, about which song writer Joni Mitchell trilled, was created in the 11th century and is now one of the most important in Morocco. This wonderful city is most famous for its reddish sandstone walls and buildings, sumptuous palaces and mosques. It is also known for the medina, modern neighborhoods and its bustling economy and tourism.

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.

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.

Famous literary figures spent years living in Tangiers and Casablanca and wandering the streets of Marrakesh. Burroughs, Bowles, Williams, Norse all wrote correspondence to and from the Mediterranean and some of their most well loved books were written here. Beyond this is the literature of Arab, French, and Berber cultures along with Spanish colonialism thrown in. Thus some private tours have the inflection of Spain, start there and come to Moroccan shores over the Strait.

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.
