Despite the fact that only a few hours of flight separate Morocco from Europe, this country still managed to maintain its originality and originality.
It amazes tourists with its colorful traditions, aromas of local dishes and bustle not only in the markets, but even on the streets.
- Labyrinths of Fez
Having chosen Morocco tours , be sure to try to get lost in the labyrinths of the Medina – the oldest quarter of the city of Fes. The streets are very narrow and so intricate that they resemble a real labyrinth. Here, time seems to have stopped, everything resembles the Middle Ages. Walk around the Medina, admire the mosaic fountains, look into the craft workshops, feel the aroma and bustle of the markets. This unique quarter is a UNESCO heritage, because almost ten thousand ancient streets have been preserved.
- Leather workshops
These sights of Fes are easy to find by smell. In special workshops, animal skins are turned into leather for sewing fashion products. The whole process from soaking and painting is done by hand. The smell is, of course, specific, but if you sniff a bunch of mint during a walk (buy in advance), then you will not experience inconvenience during a walk.
- Tagine
This name bears both the traditional dish, and the method of its preparation, and special dishes. This Moroccan delicacy is made from meat, fish, and vegetables. All products are placed in a special pot with a cone-shaped lid and stewed on coals. Spices, berries, honey are added to the ingredients listed above. Although the dish takes a long time to cook, the taste is excellent. Be sure to try it.
- Hammam
Hammam is a bath. Although our Russian banya is good, the Moroccan one is even better. Local residents are sure that not only the body, but also the soul is cleansed in the hammam. In addition to water procedures, you can do a clay wrap, massage with oils. Bath attendants own true art, after their magical actions, as if you are younger by several decades. Check Scributors.
- Challenge yourself as a salesman
In Morocco, when making any purchase, you need to bargain – this is both a special ritual and a way of communication. It may be difficult at first, but once you feel that your beliefs can lower the price by several times, you will immediately get into the taste of this action.
- Djemaa el Fna
In the very first minutes, once you get to the central square of Marrakech, you will be numb. There is such a fuss here that it is not clear where you ended up: either to the theater, or to the circus, or to the market, or captured by magicians. On the square there are performances of artists, musicians play, snake charmers immediately perform, beggars dart, astrologers with fortune telling services pester, acrobats show their outstanding skills. Life on Djemaa el Fna is in full swing, it is quieter in the square only in the early morning hours. But be careful here – pickpockets feel at ease on the square, and any magician will envy their skill.
- Moroccan tea
Tea and drinking it is part of the culture. Making tea is a real ritual.
Green tea, along with mint and sugar, is poured with boiling water and kept on fire for some time, and only then poured. The drink is also poured in a special way – the teapot, by the way, is not made of ceramics, but metal – they are held high above the glass. As a result, a trickle, hitting the glass, creates a special foam. Moroccan tea has a special aroma and many healing properties.
