To see in Morocco

 Difficult to establish an exhaustive list. Especially since it depends on the chosen room: relaxing in a resort hotel, circuit, renting a house or a car to travel around the country. Anyway opportunities abound. Each city has its monuments and souks . But often, landscapes and architecture enough to move you.


The mountainous area 
Morocco is a very diverse country relief. With the North, the Rif chain, eastern plateaus and Regs, Ergs south and central mountains of Upper, Middle and Anti-Atlas. The High Atlas and has ten peaks over 4000 meters. And we can go walking (walking, riding beasts, or ski) to discover its beautiful landscape and its inhabitants, without suffering physically as most routes are not too difficult.

the beaches 
Overall, the best beaches are located in Agadir, Essaouira (Mecca of windsurfing), Oualidia, El Jadida, Medhiya (near Kenitra) Mohammedia (near Casa) or Bouznika. The Atlantic coast, the beaches are the most numerous, but can be rough and dangerous in some cases. Learn well.

National museums are generally closed on Tuesday. Some museums are located in the local administration may be closed on weekends.

crafts

Regarding the objects, we feel the influence of the East looking carpets, fabrics and embroideries and the input Andalusian artists was "imported" to the work of ceramic, metal, wood and leather. Rural or Berber arts have a more "primitive". Objects (furniture, tools) used for everyday life.
