Morocco Vacation

Morocco happens to be one of the most sought out exotic vacation locations; but why? What is it about this beautiful place that excites the traveling nomad? It’s just a dessert, right? How exciting can that be? Bugs, sand, and limited first world amenities don’t exactly sound like the average western world version of a romantic getaway or family vacation. Yet so many people are vying for the opportunity to go.

At first glance there isn’t much that meets the eye; however, if you take a deeper dive into the culturally rich and diverse country you will see so much more. From ancient dynasties to decade long feuds over territorial resistance, the country of Morocco has proven quite successful and boasts much to be proud of. Don’t worry I won’t dive into a history lesson! We can save that for your next visit.

I’m going to give you my top four reasons that a trip to Morocco is an absolute must for every bucket list.

The primary language spoken in Morocco is Arabic and French with a predominantly Muslim population.

Many may not know that there are many Spanish controlled territories in Morocco as well. It is one giant cultural mixing pot. The country is a blend of Berber, Arab, Sephardi Jews, West African, and European influence.

Aside from the naming of the many different cultural influences are the traditions that come with those cultures. This is where the brunt of the excitement comes from driving the many folks planning their Morocco vacations. Your Morocco trip will likely include historical discoveries, interacting with locals giving you a front-row seat to their cultural traditions and customs, and even some beautiful scenery around the country from beaches and mountains to sun-kissed desert terrains. This leads me to my next reason you should plan a Morocco vacation.

Tagine is something you can find all over Morocco. It’s a clay cooking pot with a conical lid full of many different recipes like beef, lamb, chicken, veggies, etc. It’s absolutely amazing, but not as amazing as Morocco’s national dish; couscous! Couscous is similar to a rice-like grain and is usually served with beef or vegetable stew. It’s a common dish for religious practices in the Muslim communities but you can find it almost anywhere in the country.

If you’re looking for a more vegetarian-based dish, you can’t go wrong with zalouk which is made from eggplants, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, spices, and herbs. It’s sure to leave your taste buds dancing with delight.

If you’re more of a pescatarian you may fancy the fish chermoula. It’s packed with flavors from spices like saffron, onion, coriander, chili, peppers, etc. There are so many amazing food choices in Morocco.
