THE HASSAN II MOSQUE IN CASABLANCA
Wondering how does it look inside
The Hassan II Mosque or Grand Mosque is located in Casablanca and is the biggest and most beautiful mosque in Morocco. It's also the only mosque in the country that non-Muslims can visit, and it's definitely worth a stop in Casablanca, even if you're just going to go on a tour of the building.
This mosque is extremely large and intricately built, with soaring ceilings and hand-carved
stucco and cedar on the
arches and ceilings. There's a water feature in the centre of the main prayer hall with
incredible views over the sea.
The largest working mosque in Africa and the 7th biggest mosque in the world, it welcomes
more than 100,000 visitors
during the month of Ramadan.
Visits to the mosque are available by guided tour only, and times are generally at 9am,
10am, 11am, and 3pm (though I
would definitely recommend checking the current schedule before you go). The cost is 130
dirhams (around $13), and the
tour takes just under an hour.
While it is appropriate to wear modest clothing to the mosque, no particular dress code or
head scarves are required for
visitors.
THE SAHARA DESERT
Have you visited a desert before
the Sahara. Most people can only dream of visiting this wild and vast desert of sand dunes and experiencing Berber culture, but if you come to Morocco, you have a rare chance to explore this natural wonder.
The Sahara Desert starts in the city of Merzouga, very close to the Algerian border. The
wind-blown sand dunes here,
known locally as Erg Chebbi, are the perfect setting for glamping in a luxury desert camp.
When you arrive in Merzouga, you will meet your Berber guide, mount your camel, and ride
away into the sand dunes.
You'll reach your luxury desert camp in about 1.5 hours to walk the sand at sunset and enjoy
a delicious dinner before
listening to your Berber guides play the drums and sing music around the fire.
Finally, go stargazing before retiring to your beautiful, cosy tent, with a real bed,
electricity, WIFI, running water,
and a full bathroom.
The whole experience is one that feels right out of a dream, the amber sand dunes standing
tall and glowing in the
evening light; the camels being led by men in turbans; and the sound of nomads singing in
the night. It's an experience
you will never forget.
Although a tour out to the Sahara desert involves 8-10 hours of driving from either Fes or
Marrakech, this bucket-list
experience is definitely worth the long journey.
BLUE PEARL OF MOROCCO
Want to know the beauty of blue
Chefchaouen is one of the most striking little cities you will ever meet, mostly thanks to its very unique old medina, where every wall, door and stairway is painted blue..
Also known as the {Blue City} or the {Blue Pearl of Morocco}, Chefchaouen is located in
northern Morocco, between Fes
and Tangier. The main thing to do here is wander the medina and marvel at her beauty. The
turquoise and cobalt
colourscheme gives the city a special ambiance.
As you explore, you'll discover streets decorated with colourful baskets and flower pots,
fragrant spice markets,
flowering trees, hanging carpets, and other novelties that coordinate beautifully with the
blue walls.
The other main thing to do in Chefchaouen is hike up to the Spanish Mosque that sits on a
hill overlooking the city and
the valley. The panoramic views of the blue facades and rooftops are just incredible. For
the best views and nicest
light, walk up in the late afternoon.
If you're up for more adventures further afield, escape to the nearby Rif mountains where
you can walk amongst the olive
groves.
