The Morocco experience
The Morocco experience
I’ve decided to write this one in English, because I trust that also the Romanian readers can decipher a bit of English. If not, and there’s a bunch of you crying out loud in the comments area that you don’t get a word in English, I might reconsider and write the French version also since that’s widely spread across Morocco.
About Morocco
Situated in the most Nord-Western part of Africa, with shores stretching both in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean divided by Gibraltar stretch, Morocco is an interesting mix of Islamic, Bedouin and Berber cultures with a twist of European influences.
The original inhabitants of Morocco were the Berber population spread across the Atlas mountain region. Then the Bedouins came from Sahara desert, then the Arabs, then the Spanish, Portuguese and finally the French.
Morocco climate is pretty constant the whole year with small variations between summer and winter. In some areas temperatures may drop to a minimum 6C, maybe 4C degrees during January winter time. Usually you’ll find temperatures of ~30C midday and ~18C during night time (possibly lower near the coast and mountain area). Therefore do not pack your bags with lots of thick clothes because you won’t need them. This is unless you’re planning a night in Sahara or a stay in the Atlas Mountains, with highest peaks at over 4000 meters and occasionally with snow covered tops.
