Why go? Morocco is a country full of attractive, both natural and cultural. The dry climate adds a good reason to leave. Obviously the inexperienced traveler must be aware that it is an Arab country with economic problems (but those who do not have them, in this period!)
How to move? Morocco can be conveniently shot by car. A car rental, in fact, allows you to travel roads that cross extraordinary landscapes stopped from time to time to admire the view or take a walk. Traffic is a nuisance only in the city (where to play the horn once every two-three seconds is necessary), while all the streets can present sudden holes ... but, for freedom to better enjoy an adventurous holiday, this and more .
To rent a car here at the best prices for your travel itinerary I absolutely recommend by Search And book this link .
How much does it cost? Flights to Morocco (Marrakesh or Fez) from Europe are very cheap thanks to low-cost airlines (even 50 euros for a return flight). The cost of living is low: you can dine decently with 5 euros, well with 10. It will be a vacation in the name of savings.
Keep in mind that in what it costs I take into account all the journey ... from the middle to The airport departure to the soft drink passing to meals and souvenirs.

Where to go? Any travel itinerary in Morocco that is respected includes the historic Marrakesh, a fascinating city, but they are perhaps the landscapes to hit more than anything in the central area of Morocco: Canyon in Iosa, Palmeti, sand dunes ... from the Dades In Merzouga, nature gives itself. There are also perched fortresses and characteristic villages like Ait Benaddou. The beautiful city of fishermen of Essaouira is also a valid spot for surfers.

I had already been on vacation in Morocco, but not to Marrakesh and surroundings, the most fascinating areas of the country. Four friends and I would like to remedy such a lack of thus. Landed at Marrakesh airport we retreated the rental car and left immediately towards Ait Benhaddou , the first stage of our trip itinerary a little planned and very improvised.
The road traveled wild Mountain landscapes and when we arrived near the goal, he really started with the bang: from the street he enjoyed a postcard view.
We parked and, to reach the citadel, we walked on foot the lanes of the sand-colored village at his feet. I immediately breathe the unique atmosphere of Morocco. A country full of beauty and history, where all the stones, huts and couss emanate an aura of Moroccan culture. For the foreigner, the journey thus becomes a continuous succession of emotions.
we resumed the car and stopped soon, as soon as we noticed a hotel, in a badge village With a lively market and a cheerful atmosphere.
Our first Moroccan dinner was in the most sticky restaurant in the galaxy . Together with a trolley with a bean, piadine and meat arrived of cats that began to blew over us. In addition to making large laughs, we highly appreciated the dishes, all extremely tasty. We know that the dirt contains better than anything else.
The travel diary continues in the neighbor Ouarzazate .
We left the Dades valley and headed towards the gorges of the Todra , the next goal of our Moroccan travel itinerary. We followed a uphill road until you stop in a village with a couple of hotels. We slept in the most squalid hotel, but we had a chic one in the most chic, where we gathered with stewed meats and vegetables and couscous and a bunch of good Introlli, one of the best dinners of the holiday.
In the morning exploring the fascinating Todra Gorges . After passing the impressive canyon that makes these gorges famous, we continued until you reach an isolated and wild plateau, with Berber villages perched at the foot of the mountains.
The next day we saw characteristic villages and fortresses before arriving at the doors of the sand dunes of the desert of Merzouga. Near Erfoud first and directly to Merzouga then we went to inform us in a hotel on how to visit the dunes. There was a camel trip, in caravan, up to a field held in the desert, where we would have dinner and slept. After due negotiations on the price, we accepted.
The field tented in the desert was spacious, but we were only in a dozen travelers in Holiday at that point of the Moroccan desert.
The morning after we left for Marrakesh, where we arrived after the usual pleasant on the road between rustic landscapes and characteristic villages. We arrived in the afternoon and challenged a budget hotel recommended by the Lonely Planet, a stone's throw from the main square of Marrakesh, Jemaa-El-Fnaa , typical holiday destination.
The next day it was entirely dedicated to the visit of Marrakesh, with its characteristic markets, the beautiful vicoletti of the center, mosques and monuments. Since in our travel itinerary in Morocco we wanted to live authentic moments with the local population, in the evening I and another in the most malfamed Marrakesh game room , in an isolated neighborhood where obviously there is no "They were tourists, to challenge local boys in CalcioBalilla. Overall, Marrakesh is a wonderful city so much for architecture and for people, where strades features and vivacity go hand in hand.
After the surf we went to see the huge dromedariums who wandered for the oceanic beach.
Dinner cost twenty euros, but was remarkable. There was the disco, which offered alcohol, and, upstairs, there were belly dancers and different escorts that accomodated to the elderly businessmen .
Unfortunately, it was Our last holiday evening. The day after a comfortable low-cost flight brought us back to Italy. We were excited about the journey, one of the richest of sensations as well as one of the cheapest; A week at 500 euros each included, from the flight to meals to souvenirs.
