A moroccan memoir

A land where from the first light of the morning, hope wakes up and spreads its charm all over. A melting pot of history, tradition, culture and harmony, Morocco treats visitors by way of scenic beauty, exquisite cuisines, holy places, historical monuments and tranquilising beaches. Morocco is perhaps one of the best places from where one can experience the magic of the Sahara desert in all its glory. Morocco’s beautiful city Casablanca plays host to attractions like the Chellah Gardens, Hassan II Mosque, Medina and Beth-El synagogue and United Nations Square. Rabat, the capital of Morocco, has the principal royal residence, and beautiful gardens and beaches which are known for their breathtaking view. Known for its history, spanning more than a century, the former capital of Meknes is considered to be best preserved in terms of culture and craftsmanship. Just in its vicinity one could visit the ruins of Volubilis, considered to be a popular Roman settlement and the whitewashed town of Moulay Idriss. For those in search of peace and spirituality, Fez is the city which is known as a religious and intellectual hub. A tour of the medieval medina which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must. The medina is eminent for its meandering lanes and artistic workshops. One can also pay a visit to the Royal Palace of Fez and Mellah, which is the largest Jewish Quarter in Morocco. The old mosques and the open air tanneries of Morocco make for a great visit too. Fine handicrafts and traditional items made from ceramic, copper and leather cater to shopping junkies.

In Morocco, a vacation would hold a whole new meaning for a tourist because it won’t begin and end at a beach, a hill resort or a desert alone. Morocco is where all these natural habitats meet, and yet there is more... Greet the snow-capped peaks of the Middle Atlas Mountains which present a wonderful view of the pine and cedar forests, Berber villages and terraced farms all the way. Unless one stays at the glamorous pink city of Marrakech, their trip to Morocco is incomplete. Here, visit the fabulous local souks, royal palaces, scenic gardens and the historic monuments. Marrakech comes alive after sunset with exciting performances by snake charmers, magicians and storytellers at the public square Djemaa El-Fna. Indeed, Morocco sells dreams, and promises sweet memories for a lifetime.
