Heading out to the camp
The desert is the perfect place for transformative experiences on a personal level. Just watching the moon rise at the same time as the sun sets, casting new nuances of shadow over the dunes, watching scarab beetles leave tiny tracks across the sand; it’s like being in another world. If you have any questions or doubts don’t hesitate to write to us!

When the road gets hard
When the road gets hard
When the road gets hard and you feel like ur suffocating, just remember there is a world out there that you can explore!When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow, Success

Traveling Solo in Morocco
Tips for
Traveling Solo in Morocco Morocco is not a difficult country to travel solo, but there are some tips and tricks that can make your experience more enjoyable and prevent you from wasting time and money.Speak the Language
Linguistic richness characterizes this North African nation. The majority of Moroccans speak Moroccan Arabic (Darija) or one of three Berber dialects as a native language. French is widely used, and you can still get by with Spanish or Portuguese in some coastal regions. Traveling alone is an excellent opportunity to meet and converse with locals. Even if you can only manage basic greetings, an attempt at speaking Darija or Berber will often gain you immediate respect and can lead to better deals on lodging, tourism packages and souvenirs.
Lonely Planet has phrasebooks for both French and Moroccan Arabic. Another travel-geared French phrasebook on the market is by writer Rick Steves

Belyounech - Fnideq : Ville - Maroc
Fnideq and 7 km west of the Spanish enclave, Belyounech is a hidden fishing village and surrounded by steep and jasped green mountains, it is the last beach of northern Morocco, on the border with Ceuta. The village is dominated by the enormous mass of Jbel Moussa, still called "La Mujer Muerta" because of its so singular form that evokes the forms of a woman extended.
The history of Belyounech goes back to the legends of antiquity, in fact, the mountain of Jbel Moussa which overlooks the village was considered by the ancients like the column of Hercules on the African side.
Ages, considered a high place of pleasure for the inhabitants of Ceuta.
The famous Doctor and theologian Caddi Ayyad, celebrated from Belyounesch its beauty and difficulty of access two traits of resemblance to paradise. The famous geographer Andalus El Idrissi described Belyounech as a valley where fruits, lemons and even sugar canes were produced there in abundance and where water flowed everywhere and the pastures there were excellent.
Seized by the beauty of the place, the famous Andalusian caliph AlManzor, 10th century built a royal residence where he liked to retire
The history of the village is also linked to that of the Islamic city of Ceuta. It was, in the Middle 
One of the Prettiest Beaches in Morocco
Give me Mehdia Beach over Agadir's or Essaouira's any day! The sand is nice, the water color is beautiful. There are lots of little food places just off the beach and there are way fewer tourists!!! By writing this review, i am aware that I might be killing the thing that i love [an uncrowded beach] but it's just so nice! The beach is a 5Dh grand taxi ride from the Kenitra train station, or you could ride the bus and pay 3.5Dh. Surfing and body boarding seem to be the main reasons people go in the water. There are also camel rides and quad rentals for those who want to do more than just lay in the sun and listen to the waves.

Fes UNESCO World Heritage
UNESCO World Heritage Site
In 1981, Fes el Bali was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During its peak period in the 13th and 14th centuries, the Imperial city replaced Marrakech as the kingdom’s capital. The principal monuments that are found in the medina, including madrasas, palaces, fountains and fondouks, date from this time. While the political capital of Morocco is now Rabat, Fez is the country’s true spiritual and cultural center. With the one million people that call this city home, twenty percent live in the medina

Traveling and Exploring Oujda Morocco
Oujda is Morocco’s most populated northern city. When compared to the cities southward in the Rif Mountains, Oujda has an open, liberated air to it that is comparable to Rabat. Due to its closeness to Algeria and its strategic location, different empires and governments have controlled it over the last centuries.
Spain gave up control over Oujda when France began sectioning off areas of the country that they held as a part of their protectorate. The French did more for the infrastructure of the city than Spain by building a ville nouvelle and constructing roads and a railway that continues into Algeria. When the French left Morocco, Oudja fell back into Moroccan control, where it has remained ever since. Interestingly, before Spain or France vied for parts of the country, Oudja was once a part of the Ottoman Empire and was considered their capital in North Africa. The neighboring city to the north is Melilla, which is still a part of Spain yet on Moroccan soil.

10 Things To Do in Saidia: Morocco
If you’d like to spend your afternoon off the beach, consider exploring the town’s restored 16th-century Kasbah, visiting the bird preserve bordering Saidia or playing a round of golf on one of the three 18-hole courses. Golf lessons are also available. Take a day trip to the urban center of Oujda where you can shop Moroccan fashions, walk the tree-lined promenade or browse local music at the CD shops. Oujda is a place where you can feel the hustle and bustle of Moroccan markets, sample local cuisine and attend live musical performances.
In the evening, take a sunset promenade to ogle at the private yachts at Saidia’s 850-mooring marina, relax at one of the luxury clubhouses or listen to classical Berber music at a beachfront hotel. If you visit in August, you may be able to catch Saidia’s annual summer music festival,

Only for summer - Review of Playa Blanca, Tangier, Morocco .
this is one of the most attractive beaches around Tangier. This is a summer area where one can spend a wonderful time. One may find a rental house for a good price but it is highly recommended to book before. Parking is a challenge due to the massive amount of cars.The best Sidi Ifni Morroco
I stayed a couple of hours more wandering around leisurely and taking a look at the rest of the village: the Royal Palace, the lighthouse, the old Avenida Cinema (it reminded me a lot of the summer cinemas I used to go in hte late 70s in Punta Umbria, Spain), the seafront promenade overlooking the wide beach and the camping with the motorhomes…but what I enjoyed the most were those hidden corners that brought back memories of a Spain that does not exist in the peninsula any more. That is what I went there looking for, some half forgotten history.
The best Sidi Ifni Morroco
Despite all I was feeling a bit like at home and with a vague sensation of familiarity. While sitting in the square writing some notes, an old man asked me in (a very good) spanish (he told me most of the locals there spoke it fairly well) if I wanted him to show me some interesting places. He took me to a church that was now the court dependencies. Inside there were a couple of people “resting their eyes” and all looked a bit abandoned, with a layer of dust and with piles of yellowing papers everywhere. Certainly it seemed that nobody had been judged there for quite some time, but probably that was just my impression. The old and now unused bell laid aside in the sacristy, probably hoping for better times.
After the visit I had a tea with my improvised Friend
Best Sidi Ifni, Morocco:
Let’s start with a little bit of history: the Crown of Castile occupied the Ifni area in 1476, but it was abandoned less than 50 years later as the local tribes were very hostile. Spain received the area again in 1860 after signing the Wad-Ras Treaty, but it was not till 1934 when the current city of Sidi Ifni was founded and spanish people settled in, mostly army staff and their families. After Morocco’s independence, they claimed Ifni territory to be returned back, sparking the Ifni War, which ultimately led to a new treaty and the spanish withdrawal in June 1969.
Some 37 years later..
March 2009. I had been travelling around Sahara desert for 10 days before heading to Sidi Ifni. I met with my friend Anouar in Marrakech we crossed the Strait to Agadir in the ferry, then a night Car to Teznit and 3 great days there.
I took a bus to Agadir and I did not like it that much, so instead of staying overnight that same day I rented a car and headed south along the coast with Sidi Ifni as final destination. The road was good, with gentle slopes, and the landscape was beautiful, with the ocean on my right and the beginning of the anti-atlas on the left. Even from the distance you could tell how strong the rip currents were down in the beaches. I stayed overnight in Tiznit and Mirleft.
Mirleft agadir morocco
Mirleft, a small town "140km south of Agadir" has acquired a solid reputation in Morocco as abroad, it is the paradise for lovers of the ocean and the pleasures associated with it, Fishing, surfing, board Sailboat .... etc ... Mirleft sidi ifni tiznit

Mire left Morroco
To reach Mirleft, travelers are advised to make their way to Tiznit and then continue on to Mirleft, which is located thirty-eight kilometers from the city. Agadir is located a hundred and forty kilometers away. Mirleft is a popular secret getaway destination, with its city center situated a mere five hundred meters away from its breathtaking beaches. With an estimated population of about eight thousand, the locals are extremely friendly and welcoming.
Even though the town is small, it does feature a few modern facilities such as a post office and a bank that has automated teller machines. There is accommodation available for visitors to Mirleft, but no luxury hotel chains to choose from. Instead it has intimate historical accommodation such as the old military fort that was constructed in the year 1935 and has now been transformed into a comfortable guesthouse establishment.
Surfers are attracted to Mirleft for its favorable surfing conditions. Five of the seven beaches of Mirleft are ideal for surfing. Its most popular beaches are Imin Turga, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdallah, Gzira, Tamahroucht and Sidi Ifni. Many foreigners have fallen in love with Mirleft and decided to make the town their permanent place of residency, opening small cafés and restaurants for income.
Over and above the beaches, the old military fort, built by the Spanish, is a popular attraction. Activities in Mirleft include paragliding, surfing, trekking and fishing. Visiting Mirleft is an unforgettable experience, as it offers tranquility, wonderful natural surroundings, quaint shops, restaurants and even has workshops where visitors can learn how to prepare traditional Moroccan dishes. There is something for everyone in Mirleft, but most importantly, it is a destination where visitors can truly relax and unwind from their busy daily lives.
Beatch Mirleft Morocco
Picture the ideal location for your vacation. Imagine wide untouched stretches of beach, high cliffs that overlook the ocean, friendly locals who greet you on the streets, picturesque historical buildings and tranquil landscapes. If this is what you imagine the ideal destination for relaxation to be, then the town of Mirleft in Morocco is the place for you. It is unusual that such as wonderful town is not promoted more, but for the musicians and artists that journey to Mirleft for inspiration and to escape their bustling schedules, it is a relief that Mirleft has remained untainted by the growing tourism industr
