Taking a mystically laden journey through multiple layers of history from very ancient and to very modern; from African to French to Arab to Berber, across the Mediterranean from Spain and amidst the world's most talked about cities: Tangier and Casablanca is a way to refresh the soul. A Morocco private tour offers these special things and much more. It has a lore centuries deep. It has mystery and treasures. The local people are friendly, clever, and offer delightful the food and drink. Mostly, one cannot go there without seeing the markets and listening to music.
The changeable Moroccan landscape from the burnt orange desert sands to the lovely bluish nights and purple sea are made to be filmed and photographed. Gorgeous people shrouded in hand dyed fabric chatter endlessly while trading. Warm afternoons are slow paced; quiet. Fabulous literature from this region plays up the lore and fiction of its people with a great emphasis upon the setting of starry skies, endless beaches and dunes, colorful textiles, jewelry, heated tempers and multiple dialects and cultures.
The nation is politically set up as a kingdom. One must discover its imperial capitals. These are ancient cities decked out in treasure and history. 9th century Fes has long been a refined cultural center. It is believed to be the home of the oldest university which was founded in 859. Marrakesh, about which song writer Joni Mitchell trilled, was created in the 11th century and is now one of the most important in Morocco. This wonderful city is most famous for its reddish sandstone walls and buildings, sumptuous palaces and mosques. It is also known for the medina, modern neighborhoods and its bustling economy and tourism.
The current capital is Rabat, a 12th century city. This city is more than worth visiting to understand fully how the kingdom works and what are the political elements that keep 35 million people together.
Exceptional activities such as camel riding await you. Treks can be taken to the desert or mountains. Cultural museums and ruins of ancient monuments are found throughout. Modern shopping lies next to the most traditional of medina, kasbah or other market where vendors and stalls are crammed in and shouting their wares. Foods for cooking wonderfully aromatic dishes can be found in these places. Taking a class is a good idea.
Famous literary figures spent years living in Tangiers and Casablanca and wandering the streets of Marrakesh. Burroughs, Bowles, Williams, Norse all wrote correspondence to and from the Mediterranean and some of their most well loved books were written here. Beyond this is the literature of Arab, French, and Berber cultures along with Spanish colonialism thrown in. Thus some private tours have the inflection of Spain, start there and come to Moroccan shores over the Strait.
Moroccan culture is a curious mix of Arab, Berber, French and Spanish, too. There were long French and Spanish periods of colonization. Muslims make up 99 percent of the religious. Ruins of Rome are found amidst things much older. Deep in a land of natural beauty is this very old civilization intermingled with all of modern convenience.
Lastly, a Moroccan private tour would not be complete with out the modern trance music, chabbi, a kick boxing match, or a plate of luscious desert dates under the palms. Local bars, clubs and eateries abound and best of all, talking to people makes the trip worth it.
