How to Enjoy the Best Places under the
Sun
There are people who are fond of traveling. They like to go to places where
they can recharge their souls, unwind, release the tension from work, and
simply enjoy what life has to offer.
And there are people who are more of the
adventurous type who would rather enjoy the day
exploring the forest canopy in Costa Rica or discover
the beauty of the wilderness of Siberia.
However, whatever adventure travel most people
would like to experience, it is always best to observe
safety measures and precautions so as to avoid risk
or perils of traveling to unknown lands.
Here’s a list of tips for adventure travelers, whether they want adventures
that are more inclined to wilderness or just the typical family adventure most
people would love to experience:
1. It is best that people should know what the type of travel adventure they
are getting into.
Adventure travel may provide the kind of adrenalin rush most adventurers
long to experience every time they get out of their territory. It is the feeling
of newness and uncertainty on what will happen that gives them the
satisfaction and gratification that they need.
However, it is still important for them to know what they are doing. After all,
traveling always involve risky activities especially to those who are set to
gain adventure experience.
2. Have a fixed set on the adventure travel destination.
Because of the vastness of locations and adventure locations available today,
people might get confused on what areas are best for their adventure travel.
One good tip is to choose a location that can baffle those adventurous minds
and mystify the eyes with great mystery.
As much as new and exotic places can be adventurous, it is still best to stick
to the classical and typical locations. It would be really risky to try areas
which no one has ever dared to go to.
3. Consider the budget.
Adventure traveling can be pretty expensive especially when it entails going
to places that entails great adventure packages.
So, it would be better for adventure travelers to shop around first and
compare prices before deciding on what kind of adventure travel to take.
Indeed, adventure travel can be one of the most exciting and gratifying
travel one can experience. However, with the exotic places, wilderness, and
virgin forests that one might consider, it is a must that every travel must
know the proper way how to protect themselves and what to do first before
trying the place out.
After all, it should be safety that should always be on top priority.
The Moroccan nation owes its diverseness to the many cultures that have
influenced it during the course of its history. Initially, the area now known as
Morocco seems to have been inhabited by Libyans and Ethiopians who were
collectively called Barbaroi or Berbers.
They lived in tribal groups in the area during a period of sultanate dynasties.
There was no subjection to a singular government in the area at the time.
Slowly, various national groups started to impact on the area such as Arabs,
Phoenicians, Byzantines, Romans, Spaniards, Portuguese, Turks, Europeans
and the French. Much of this influence came in the form of hostilities on the
Spanish coast.
Over a long period of time, the area became claimed and ruled by other
countries until it established its independence in 1956. Though it would seem
most Berbers were once pagan worshipers, the majority of the country now
practice Islam. The rest of the population practice Christianity or Judaism.
Most of the Moroccans today can claim both Berber and Arab ancestry,
though they are generally referred to as Berbers. There is a small amount
that can claim pure Arab decent and a few small groups of true Berbers
which exist in the Rif Mountains, Atlas Mountains and Souss Valley and who
are able to speak several ancient Berber languages.
There is also a small number of Jews and black African Moroccans. The
population of Morocco numbers approximately 32 million people and many of
them are not well off.
Lifestyles differ depending on the areas that people live in. People living in
rural areas are often unable to get fairly basic items, such as plasters. They
generally tend to grow plants or tend livestock for food.
However there are far greater clusters of people in the cities, which bustle
with life at all times of the day. Souks (markets) are virtually a way of life for
most Moroccans and can be found in every town and city.
Most Moroccans are friendly and hospitable and will extend warm invitations
if you do not act rude or unfriendly towards them, they are a proud people,
as befits a race that has controlled the entire Western Mediterranean and
produced some of the finest architecture in the Arab world.
Like all Mediterranean, they are story tellers, and enjoy a reputation as the
most hospitable of Arab peoples. In general, the people are friendly and the
country is colourful.
Hospitality is really a part of their culture so you can strike up friendships
virtually anywhere if you have the right attitude. Usually, this results in
further association with these dynamic and interesting people and a real
taste of Moroccan life.

your Morocco travel agency well in advance.
In the Atlantic coast you can also visit the beach in Alisah, and even your

season does not prevail as the beach remains too crowded at that time.
The pictures taken at the Alisah beach can serve as a memory of a lifetime.

the schedule managed by your Morocco travel agency.
In Morocco, land of thrills, there is a complete programme of ceremonies and
celebrations, throughout the year.
Moreover, there are four types of celebrations: moveable feasts of a religious
nature, based on the moon, national ones marking historical events,
traditional Moussems, a mixture of the sacred and the profane and finally
festivals, mainly on an international scale, opening up to the western world
and certainly not to be missed out on.
Festivals
Festival of Popular Arts : or Folklore Festival (Marrakech - June): Every
year in June, Marrakech vibrates to the rhythms of its Folklore Festival, which
takes place in the sumptuous setting of the El-Badi Palace.
Its immense courtyard is laid with carpets for the occasion and decorated in
a myriad of traditional styles, ready to welcome musicians, singers and
dancers, from the world of Moroccan popular arts and traditions, not to
forget the thousands of spectators who flock from all over the world to enjoy
the spectacular entertainment.
The Festival unites a whole range of performances, combining the ritual
dances of the Atlas, Saharan dances such as the Dekkah and the Guedra,
and Gnaoua dancing, a mystical tradition stemming from Black Africa
animistic rites.
Gnaoua Music Festival : (Essaouira - June): The event brings together the
finest troops of Gnaoua musicians along with a multitude of American and
European Jazz ensembles. It was first held in 1960, and proved enormously
successful being rapidly recognised as a festival of true world class.
Sacred Music Festival : (Fez - May/June): Since 1994, Fez the country's
Spiritual Capital has been the scene of an annual convergence of different
cultures which although existing side by side have little real knowledge of
one another. With globalisation as its theme, the event has acquired
international renown.
Oudayas Jazz Festival : (Rabat - October):Mirroring the goals of the Euro-
Mediterranean Partnership outlined during the 1995 Barcelona Conference,
the event first took place the following year, and was soon recognised as the
perfect occasion for encounter, exchange and expression.
Its primary purpose is the development of what is now known as European
Jazz while at the same time opening up the scene to Moroccan jazz
musicians, whose syncopated music is firmly entrenched in the age-old
traditions of the Maghreb.
International Film Festival : (Marrakech - September): Apart from its
substantial impact on the economy and the tourist industry, this event is not
only a platform for meetings and discussions but also an occasion to promote
collaboration among all of those involved in the Seventh Art.
The festival, first held in the year 2001, is now organised by the Marrakech
International Film Festival Foundation and presided over by His Royal
Highness, Prince Moulay Rachid.
Religious holidays
Ramadan : is the sacred month during which Muslims fast from sunrise to
sunset. The party atmosphere to be found after dark makes it stand out from
the rest of the year.
Families and friends meet to break the fast with Harira a rich Moroccan soup
and other traditional delicacies like the honey coated sweetmeat, Chebakia.
The most important night of the month falls on 26 of Ramadan Laylat Al-
Qadr, the Night of Destiny, when the faithful, dressed in their best,
congregate at mosques to pray to Almighty God.
Aid Es-Seghir : ''the small feast" The day marks the end of the month of
fasting and is symbolic of grace and pardon. It is a family day with meals
enjoyed in an atmosphere of festivity, when good wishes are exchanged and
transgressions forgiven.
Aid El Kebir : "The Feast of Sacrifice" this commemorates the act of sacrifice
performed by Abraham, as related in the Koran.
On God's command, the Prophet was about to offer up his son Ishmael as a
burnt sacrifice, when an angel interposed, offering Abraham a sheep to take
the boy's place. In Morocco, the feast starts with a common prayer being
recited in the Msallah outside the town walls.
In Rabat, the country's capital, the King sacrifices the first sheep, a signal for
the people to follow his example and start the festivities.
Fatih Muharram : This is the first day of the Islamic year and
commemorates the start of the Prophet Mohammed and his companions'
(Sahaba) months-long camelback journey from the Holy City of Mecca to
Medina.
The Hijra (migration) was undertaken by the Prophet for fear of being killed
by the inhabitants of Mecca, the Koraichi, a people cursed by God.
Aid El-Mouloud : This is the anniversary of the birth of the Prophet
Mohammed, a major event in the history of Islam. Women and children dye
their hands and feet with Henna and a special semolina and honey dish La
Assida is eaten.
On the morning of the Feast, His Majesty the King travels to the Msallah
outside the city, where all the tribes of the Kingdom come to pledge
allegiance to him.
Back at the Palace, the Sovereign receives the good wishes of, among
others, members of the Royal Family and of the Government, of civil and
military officials, and of members of the diplomatic corps stationed in Rabat.

The Cheaper Way to Get Away
All people need a break, to reconnect with the spouse, to reward the kids, to
recharge the soul. But planning a vacation getaway can quickly turn into a
stressful project when the subject of expenses comes up.
Airfare alone can kill the fantasy. And when people already factor in
accommodations, food, and shopping, any budget-conscious mother would
just give up and stay home.
Thankfully, there are now more options for quick and fun vacations without
having the costly air fares.
Cheap Airfare
So, how does low-cost or cheap air fare work exactly? Simple: Budget air
travel gets you to your destination in the shortest time and at the cheapest
possible price.
The main reason these airlines are able to keep airfare prices low is the no-
frills concept. First, there’s no ticketing office to sustain.
All reservations and purchases are transacted online. Through e-ticketing,
tickets can be purchased on the Web, which eliminates the need to employ
more people for processing or maintain international offices.
However, people can still avail of cheaper airfares even if they don’t want to
take chances with budget air travel.
Here’s how:
1. Purchasing the airline ticket at least 10 days ahead of the scheduled trip
will enable the individual to avail of super low fares.
2. It is best to choose a weekday departure and arrival date when possible.
This is because weekend flights get filled up faster than weekdays and
airlines often offer discounts to fill up the weekday flights.
3. It would be better to book as a group of three or more to get even more
discounts on fees.
4. People compare notes with and consult their friends and colleagues who
have recently traveled.
5. In order to get the cheap airfares, people should be on the lookout for
discounted rates on the Internet. Most of the cheap airfares are available
online.
6. It is best to shop around for the cheap airfare first before you jump on the
first deal you see. This is because there are airlines that may offer cheap
airfares but the quality of service is entirely bad. Most airlines with cheap
airfares have low quality of service and lacking the usual amenities.
All of these boil down to the fact that low-cost airlines may help people to
extend their vacation and make it more memorable. They just have to shop
around to get those that offer cheap airfare but the quality of service is not
taken for granted.
Morocco Travel Agency | Car Rental Morocco
Car rental in Morocco can be very easily done through the help of your
Morocco travel agency. These agencies can provide you with an affordable
as well as reliable car rental services.
Your Morocco travel agency must have associations with various car rental
companies, and through that you can easily avail services for yourself. The
taxis that are found in Morocco are basically divided into two types: the big
taxis and the small taxis.
The big taxis are meant for long distance travel and it is generally shared by
people. Whereas the small taxis are for small distances and it is very similar
to the usual taxis.
You can tell your Morocco travel agency to look for a taxi and they can
also negotiate the price for you, just in case the taxi is not equipped with a
meter.
If you are not carrying a lot of luggage then you can suggest your Morocco
travel agency to look for a small taxi as it is far more economical if you
want to travel around the city. Booking a Car Rental Morocco can turn out
to be a costly affair so many people prefer to drive themselves if they hail
from any of the European countries.
But the only problem is that that the European companies will not give you
the permission to take your car to Morocco. But you do not need to worry as
your Morocco travel agency can find you a very good Car Rental
Morocco agency.
Morocco has very good roads but the only downside is that the distance
between two adjacent cities can be quite huge and for getting the right
directions you need to get a Morocco tourist guide along with you.
Whenever you tell your Morocco travel agency for car rentals, you should
specifically mention that you need a driver who is accustomed with English.
As many times, due to difference in the language spoken by the driver and
tourist, a lot of miscommunication takes place.
If your Morocco travel agency cannot provide you with an English speaking
driver, then be sure to take your Morocco tourist guide along with you so
that proper communication with the driver can be maintained.
At times, the car rental services can get quite costly, so it is necessary to let
your Morocco travel agency know that about your budget constraints so
that they can select a Car Rental Morocco service which will suit your
budget accordingly.
Guide to Business Travel
Planning your business trip wisely will free you from lots of trouble.
Inadequate airline seats, long lines, heavy traffic, and unavailable hotel
rooms are just some of the problems a business traveler might encounter.
Despite the emergence of e-commerce, businessmen still travel more often
for sales and business shows. Here are some tips to make your business
travel a successful one:
1. Plan your business trip long before you leave the office.
2. Always prepare a travel bag with complete necessities to be used on any
emergency trips.
3. Bring some ready to eat foods, it will save you a substantial amount of
money, considering the high cost of foods in hotels.
4. Be sure to have a buffer time between your flight and your scheduled
meeting.
5. Choose aircraft that has better seats with ample leg room.
6. Put all your valuable materials in a small carry-on bag.
7. When calling your main office, use the 800 numbers as much as possible
because it's much cheaper.
8. If you're a businesswoman, it is important to dress well. Additionally, you
must bring casual clothes for your free time.
Not all hotels have inexpensive telecommunication systems from their rooms,
so always choose your hotel's business floor, for these rooms are made
especially for business traveler. These rooms should have dual
telephone/modem lines, fax machine, and free communications between
rooms.
In order to save money on calls, use your calling card and place calls through
your country's long-distance carrier or find a pay phone in the hotel's lobby.
If available, use a nearby business center for your fax needs since fax service
within your room will probably cost more.
These days, a business traveler has to bring a lot of electronic equipment
such as; cell phones, electronic organizers, laptop computers, etc. Here are
some suggestions on how to keep your expensive business items safe:
1. Put your laptop inside a bag that will not indicate that there's a laptop
inside. The same works well for other equipment such as camera, electronic
organizer, etc.
2. Don't expose your laptop to x-ray scanners at the airport security check,
rather have it checked manually. X-rays could damage your electronic
equipment.
3. Don't place your laptop on the aircraft's overhead bins; instead place it
near your seat or under the seat in front of you.
4. Always bring extra batteries for your equipment.
Today's business travelers are enjoying much comfort compared to their
counterparts a few decades ago. Low airfare, plenty of airlines to choose
from, communication equipment (especially cell phones and laptops) make
modern day business travelers more efficient.
Even on a business trip, parents can always be with their family members
and co-workers can still get in touch with their office work, at least virtually.
Morocco Travel Agency Tips for Your Morocco Holidays
Embarking on a holiday in Morocco is everyone’s perfect getaway from the
hustle and bustle of city life with its rich cultural heritage that breathes
nostalgia into the minds and souls of tourists.
However, would you be given an insurance that
your holiday will be hassle and trouble free? To
minimise the probability of being in a state of
frustration at the end of your holiday, talk to a
Morocco Travel Agency that has established the
dos and don’ts when in Morocco.
Foremost, do travel during the months of spring
when Morocco is blooming with a dazzling palette
of colours and greeneries. The temperature
during the months of spring provides comfort to
tourists as it’s neither too hot nor cold.
Being in Morocco during summer or winter could be daunting to some
because temperature can be quite extreme.
Furthermore, a good Morocco Travel Agency will tell you to do try out the
riads in Morocco which is basically a traditional abode built around a garden.
Some places where you might want to visit to sight see some riads are at the
Marrakesh, Fes and Essaouria.
When you travel around Morocco, you have to keep in mind to tip at the end
of a service such as at dining places, taxi drivers and bell boys as it’s a
culture to Moroccans to tip.
If you’re offered some mint tea by locals, please do accept it as it’s the peak
of Moroccan hospitality.
However, if you’re a woman travelling in Morocco; don’t let males follow you
around as they are known as hustlers there. They tend to pester foreign
women who walk alone and would not leave them at all.
So check with your local Morocco Travel Agency about whether or not the
rule of the thumb is to emulate the dress code of the locals such as by
wearing djellaba or go for the ‘westernised’ look by wearing tights and
leather tops.
Perhaps Moroccan men find hair sexy but women should definitely tie their
hair when travelling in Morocco if they do not want to be pestered so often.
The males in Morocco do not approach women they respected and if they
approach a woman, they are just showing a lack of respect to her. So if you
have to ask for help, find a local woman or an elderly man as hustlers tend to
be male and young.
Fret not, as you have actually gained an insight of the dos and don’ts when
in Morocco. If you do plan to travel to Morocco, a local Morocco Travel
Agency will definitely lead you to an unforgettable holiday which will leave
you smiling for a lifetime.

Create your own travel discounts
Hotel and rental car owners don’t just offer you discounts at random, you
have to ask for it work for it, and sometimes, these discounts aren’t even
worth it, well unless you’re looking to traveling during off peak season where
there is at most a 50% discount.
But let’s face it, we travel during peak season because this is the season
when we actually have time to travel.
So aside from waiting for your favorite hotel’s tirade of discounts during off
peak season, when you can’t really travel and then end up not traveling at
all, why not take the initiative and find your own ways to cheap travel, make
your own discount.
- Check detour flights other than the straight one you’re bound to get when
you inquire. You can get cheaper overall prices if you choose to book two
flights instead of one. Some people have been able to save as much as
$2000 by doing this.
- It is always better to buy food at the grocery and cook it yourself rather
than eating everyday at a restaurant. You won’t want to spend all of your
pocket money on food.
Restaurants tend to have cheap and sometimes unhealthy food, ensure your
own health as well as your pockets health by cooking your own, that is, after
all, the reason why there’s a stove in your hotel room.
- Travel to places which boast of natural beauty but have lower costs of
living, prices here tend to be lower. Take the Philippines or Malaysia for
example, both have great views and tourist spots but come without the
hassle of overpricing, English speaking natives are also a plus for these
countries.
- If you’re planning to stay for more than a week, call the hotel that you’d
want to stay in and ask for week long stay discounts, these can range for
percentages off your room price or even a “free day.”
- Package deals usually save a lot, airfare and lodgings combined into one
are usually cheaper compared to paying for them separately. Some travel
agencies even provide trio packages which include airfare, hotel and car
rental, you can save a lot if you have the industriousness to canvass.
- Find web-only discounts or coupons which some hotels and airline owners
provide especially for those willing to reserve online. You can save as much
as 50% on your travel costs by going this way.

Morocco Travel Agency Tips to Take Great Morocco
Pictures on your Holiday
Are you going to Morocco for a holiday to finally
escape your routine life and instead explore changes
from your daily life? Would you like to bask in the
Moroccan culture and heritage in all its glory and
treasure those memories with poignant clarity?
Then you should definitely continue reading Morocco
Travel Agency’s tips on capturing those perfect
moments.
First of all, before taking any pictures, you must decide on your focus first. If
you’re trying to capture the architectural Moroccan building, try not to take it
from a far distance and leave empty spaces around the focus.
Balance it by closing in on the focus and include other elements such as trees
beside the building or perhaps other buildings around the focus.
If you are indoors, it’s advisable to turn off the flash because it gives an
artificial colour to the object. For example, the colour of the human skin will
appear paler than original.
Normal compact digital cameras especially give out harsh light to the object
you’re trying to capture.
However, if you are outdoors at one of the fabulous sites your Morocco
Travel Agency has referred to you; turn on the flash although it’s bright and
sunny. This is because the flash will minimise the presence of shadows
around the object and even out harsh contrasts.
For those who want to experiment with taking eye-catching picture, you
might want to look out for reflections.
The reflection of the object in focus gives the picture an abstract feel and if
the picture taken is darn good, it will definitely serve as your desktop
wallpaper for the next few months.
Capturing perfect moments that have been arranged by your Morocco Travel
Agency, like your spouse’s content smile while strolling along the beach of El
Jadida requires you to be ready at all times.
If you know that you want to take pictures for two hours, you should just
leave the camera on instead of shutting it down and turning it on when
needed.
This is because you are consuming more energy. However, leaving the
camera on will allow the internal power management to manage the energy
consumption.
So, once you know the basics of taking great pictures provided by the
Morocco Travel Agency, you can put your skills to the test.
After 10 years, when you look through your photographs – a grin from ear-
to-ear will be radiating from your face.

Moroccan cuisine is one of the most sensual in the world. It appeals directly
and unashamedly to the senses of smell, sight and taste in a way that no
other cuisine can match, it is a very diverse cuisine, with many influences,
due to the interaction of Morocco with the outside world for centuries.
The cuisine of Morocco is a mix of Arab, Berber, Moorish, Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean, African and Jewish influences.
The cooks in the royal kitchens of Fes, Meknes, Marrakech, and Rabat refined
Moroccan cuisine over the centuries and created the basis for what is known
as Moroccan cuisine today.
The Moroccan cuisine has a reflection of a lively past. The various people who
settled in Morocco all left their mark on the culinary culture. The oldest
inhabitants of the fertile coast region of North Africa - and therefore also the
current kingdom Morocco - were Berbers.
They ate especially pod fruit, such as lentils and chickpeas, vegetables and
couscous. They introduced the Tajine and the famous Harira.
The arrival of travellers from the Arab world brought an enrichment of the
Moroccan kitchen. Arab Bedouins introduced dates, milk, grain and bread.
The Moors came with olive oil, almonds and preserving techniques for fruit.
The Arabs finally placed spices from far regions on the menu.
The Moroccan cuisine is very simple, the culinary art is transmitted from
mother to daughter, and differs from region to region and from family to
family.
The main Moroccan dish most people are familiar with is the couscous.
This dish is popular in the entire Magreb area but slightly different at each
country. Next to the couscous other famous Moroccan dishes are, Pastilla,
Tajine, Tangia and lamb meat with prunes almonds. Although Harira is a
soup, it is considered as a dish in itself.
The Moroccan green tea with mint is a national beverage and Moroccans
drink it all day.
In fact, the sweeter the mint tea is the better; the leaves of tea plants are
originating from countries such as India, Pakistan, China and Indonesia.
Although it seems as if Moroccans have been drinking mint tea for
centuries...
In Morocco, agreements are frequently sealed with a meal or at least with a
cup of Moroccan mint tea. Many tourists, who have bought for example a
carpet or a leather coat at a bazaar, are very astonished to notice that they
are being offered a cup of mint tea, although they are not thirsty.
Common drinking seals the fact that the agreement, which is about to be
concluded or will very be concluded.
When visiting families in Morocco (or anywhere else) it is self evident that
they will present you Moroccan tea (with many sweet home made cookies).
Furthermore, it is very likely that the host (or hostess) will urge you to stay
and have dinner with them. Hospitality is entangled in the Moroccan culture.
