If you’re reading this, and you’ve never been, things I did do that I loved that I would highly recommend are:
- Ourzazate
- Ouzoud Waterfall
- Sahara Desert
- have Mohammed be my tour guide.
I would call those the “can’t miss” (specifically the waterfall, because it really is a breathtaking natural wonder, whereas movie sets you could see in other places). And obviously the Sahara Desert is wildly famous. And it’s crazy seeing sand as far as the eye can see. [And if you don’t do it all with Mohammed, you’re nuts, because he’s the bees’ knees.]
Those would be the ‘can’t miss’.
But other things I would definitely do, if time
- hang out in Tangier (love the city, maybe stop by Central Perk)
- have a ‘taco’, because it’s unlike the tacos we know in the U.S.
- see the colorful rocks in Tafroute. (It’s a pretty far drive, but it’s cool)
- maybe even go down to Laayoune, stopping at the national park a bit before it. That was fun and serene and Laayoune seemed like a fairly bustling town.
But if you are me! –
If you’re me from the future reading this, looking for ideas on what you didn’t do last time that you wanted to do, I’d like to go around the whole north coast, including the Spanish enclaves, Ceuta and Melilla.
And I’d love to take the helicopter from Ceuta into Spain and go diving in Spain and take the ferry back into Tangier.
I’d like to continue all the way to Oujda, and maybe even see Figuig, so I can really try to get to every nook and cranny of Morocco.
Obviously I’d have to see Marrakech finally.
I’d kind of like to stop by Meknes if possible, as I didn’t really spend much time there the first time. We kind of just drove through it on one of our legs.
I’d maaaaaaybe like to try camel, because I usually make exceptions for what I’d normally eat when it comes to foreign delicacies. But animals are our friends, so I don’t know if I’d feel too bad to do that.
And then I’d also like to go to Dakhla, as it would show me the country further south. It’s supposed to be a lovely beach town.
And it might be fun to go even as super far south as you can to La Guera, just to reeeeeally get to as far south as possible for funsies.
I really do hope to go back to Morocco. I had the best time. It’s lovely!
