Living in Morocco

Moroccans are almost all Muslims but things are not as strict here as in other parts of the Islamic world. Families are still very closely-woven and tradition burns strong but there’s a modern element that floats down from Europe that makes this one of the more interesting countries around. Moroccans are often looked down upon by other Arabs though and consider their brand of Arabic all but unintelligible. There are also some cities approaching a modern feel in Morocco like Tangier and Casablanca though they’re still pretty male-dominated as in practically every Muslim country. Still, here you will find something resembling nightlife if that’s what you’re after. Most travellers to Morocco, however, yearn to taste something old and they won’t be disappointed by cities like Fez, which are virtually medieval in appearance. Picture endless labyrinths of side streets, homing pigeons on rooftops, and beggars singing verses from the Koran in the alleys for yesterday’s bread.

Living in Morocco

Then you have the Atlas Mountains which are home to the Berbers, the original inhabitants of Morocco who still account for around 40% of the overall population. Here there are beautiful hikes to be had in the mountain gorges where life goes on like it always has, tribal and slow. To the west coast things calm down a bit and many travellers in Morocco end up down at Essaoira where the pace is more relaxed. The Atlantic wind is pretty constant here and there’s reasonable surf to be had.

Lastly, down in the south east you hit the fringes of the stunning Sahara desert. You can go out to the edges of the dunes and negotiate with the local Bedouin to ride camels out into the sands. These are amongst the most breathtaking sights on the planet and are especially magical in the full moon light
