Road trip Morocco – pure exoticism

Marrakech – The Pearl of the Orient

The journey begins in arguably the most beautiful city in Morocco. Marrakech captivates everyone, you just need to get involved with the city. In Marrakech you get a concentrated form of oriental life. Some tourists feel overwhelmed by it and spend most of your stay in the hotel. Do not hesitate, plunge into the city life. The first thing on your agenda should be a visit to the “Square of the Beheaded”. The creepy name has, as you would expect, also a scary background. Allegedly, the heads of executed people were impaled on poles here in former times and put on display. Today, however, the square vibrates with joie de vivre. Everywhere jugglers and acrobats show their tricks. Snake charmers and musicians complete the picture. Especially popular with the Moroccans are the storytellers. In this country, the art of performance is still held in high esteem.

At various stalls you can enjoy freshly squeezed juices, but also dates and dried fruits. Freshly strengthened, you then continue on your shopping tour. The souqs of Marrakech are the largest in the country. In a seemingly endless maze of alleys, merchants offer endless goods. If you want to buy something, you should not forget to bargain. This is part of the good tone in Morocco. A tourist who immediately pays the asked price makes himself ridiculous. After visiting the souqs, your spirit of discovery is called for. Stroll through the city, keep coming across unknown corners and experience Marrakech off the beaten tourist track.

Settat – tranquil university town

The next day, the journey continues to Settat. In this quiet university town, you can take a little rest from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Stroll through the tranquil parkland or try your luck on the golf course. Above all, in Settat you can observe Moroccan life far from tourism.

Casablanca – Modern port city with interesting facets

After that it gets turbulent again, because soon you reach Casablanca. Rick`s Café from the movie “Casablanca” with Humphrey Bogart is long gone. Casablanca is a modern port city that many tourists only know from passing through. But it is worthwhile to stay here a little longer. In the Medina you can experience a real Moroccan market. Here, there are hardly any tourists. Rather, the locals buy here under loud haggling their everyday goods. The Hassan II Mosque is also worth a visit. It is the second largest mosque in the world and can accommodate 100,000 worshippers.

Afterwards, you may feel like heading to the fishing port and dining at one of the seafood restaurants. While you wait for your freshly prepared meal, you can plan the next stops on your Morocco road trip at your leisure.
