Morocco Easy Tours

Morocco desert tours

What language is spoken?

The official language in Moroccan  is arabic which is quite different from the Arabic of the Middle East. French is the second language of the country and for the administrations so ,with Berber language spoken by the Berber peoples especially in the south.

What should I wear?

Covered is better.  Moroccans appreciate respect shown for their culture.The Moroccans are covered and they look quite attractive.  Loose, draped clothing enhances the human figure which  too often needs all the enhancing it can get.  Just compare a family of  plumpish, pink, skimpily dressed tourists as they trundle about in the hot sun getting pinker and pinker to a Moroccan family dressed in flowing garments.

Men should avoid going bare-chested and neither sex should wear very short shorts.  Walking shorts are fine for both sexes (knee length).  Rather than sleeveless blouses or dresses, women should wear short sleeves.Skirts or jeans are equally accepted.   Good walking shoes are necessary.  Take only the jewelry you can’t do without.

What is the food like?

Salads are lovely,fresh, succulent vegetables served with a light vinaigrette on the side.Harira is the Moroccan word for a thick vegetable soup a particularly delicious one contains a bread dumpling.Main courses are usually one of the following grilled meat on skewers often served with French fries.Couscous, either vegetarian or meat with vegetables,and Tagine, the Moroccan stew, usually meat, tomatoes, potatoes,onions and with flavor of the famous Moroccan spices.Moroccan cooks use a mix of spices such as cumin, turmeric, paprika, saffron and pepper for a subtly flavored cuisine. In Sahara Desert you can find what we call a ‘Berber pizza’. This is a double crusted pie filled with meat, hard boiled eggs, almonds and spices,Sometimes rather peppery, Berber pizza is best eaten with glass after glass of hot, sweet mint tea.

What is the Moroccan currency called, where can I get the best rate?

The Moroccan monetary unit called the Dirham ,rates vary little between banks, but some banks charge a fee per traveler’s check which can add up to a considerable sum with the smaller denominations. Look for banks which don’t charge a fee or bring the money you are sure to spend in large denominations.Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and almost all shops. ATM cards can be used in many cities even in the south.Use a money belt for all your valuable papers, checks, passport and credit cards.

Will I be able to photograph the people?

It won’t be easy. If you have the time to wait until you become inconspicuous, you will probably get what you want. However, even if your subject is not aware of your camera, someone else will be and he/she will warn that person. Then you may be the recipient of a lecture or a demand for money.  You can either leave or ask the person to pose in exchange for a small amount of money.  Make sure that they understand that you will take several exposures for that agreed upon sum. Otherwise, they will expect that amount of money for each exposure.

Travel with Children in Morocco :

Morocco is one of the easiest countries in which to travel with Children, simply because the Moroccans love children and they are the central aspiration in every Moroccan family, having a young child can help you to open up opportunities for getting to know people.   Don’t forget to bring your child’s favourite teddy bear or equivalent like colouring pencils and books that will keep the child occupy during long trips..

Food poses no problem just try to avoid as much as you can the street food, if you can’t see any suitable on the given menu just ask the restaurant staff to prepare something specially for children, also its a good idea to carry some snacks and Bananas..

Travel in Ramadan to Morocco :

Fasting Ramadan is to stop eating,drinking, and sexual actions between married couples from dawn time to sunset to satisfy god. First fasting is a big proof how much you love god. then give the stomach (your body)a chance to rest during day hours, this is annually chance which will benifit human systems. and the last purpose to make the person feeling by the pain of the hungry people all around the world, because every muslim should feel by his brother in faith and then by all humans.Ramadan hardly impacts tourism in Morocco. The only changes you will notice are that some tourist sites, shops banks close earlier , so this should be taken into account. Hotels and restaurants will still be serving food to tourists all day. As a matter of respect don’t openly eat, drink or somke in public.
Visiting Morocco in Ramadan is a great idea as it is less crowded and moreover is an interesting experience to  add to your cultural knowledge of the country
