Morocco is a wonderful place! Strongly recommend!

I just returned from traveling to Morocco in October and would like to share my personal experience. If you can spare 5 minutes to read this article patiently, I am sure it will definitely help you with the traveling to Morocco!

I also went to Morocco with my parents and completed trip to Morocco, which I planned for a long time.

Our family took Royal Air Maroc from London to Casablanca. The air tickets were very cheap and the flight time was about 3 hours.

Morocco's largest international airport is in Casablanca, which is not the capital Rabat. Of course, if there are suitable flights, you can also choose to fly directly to Rabat or Marrakech.

1. The best way to travel to Morocco: independent travel

Nowadays, more and more people are traveling to Morocco for independent travel, which is also the current mainstream travel method.

Considering my parents' health, it is not suitable for traveling in a rush tour group, so our family chose to charter a car to travel independently. After comparing the cost of group tours, there was not a big difference in price. We decisively chose to charter a car to facilitate our travel. .

Chartered car travel is flexible and there are no restrictions. You can better integrate into local life, understand the local culture in an all-round way, and experience exotic customs in depth. This kind of trip is the trip we want, so we recommend that everyone go to Morocco. Choose to travel independently.

Some reminders for avoiding hooks:

1). There are many people soliciting customers outside the airport, so be careful of being deceived.

2). Even some hotel receptionists are also soliciting customers, so be careful of being deceived.

A friend traveled to Morocco and encountered a solicitor on the way. The price quoted was very low and the service promised was also very good. However, the next day the tour group was deceived. I advise everyone to find a local travel company and tour guide with a good reputation to make arrangements, which is much safer.

When the plane arrived in Casablanca, the chartered car arranged by local tour guide Yvonne was already waiting at the airport, and we happily started our Moroccan vacation mode.

 2. About Morocco tourist visa:

Morocco provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival services to most countries, so there are no obstacles in applying for a visa

3. Tips on saving money when traveling to Morocco:

If you want to save money when traveling, you should find a local travel company or local guide. Only in this way can you save money in a real sense. I asked a local travel company in London for a price, and the price I got was better than what I found in Morocco. The price offered by London company was much higher, even doubled the price.

The reference travel routes provided by London locals have no special features, and the schedule is fixed. You have to travel at their designated time, but my vacation time does not allow it.

Later I learned that no matter where you sign up for a group tour, travel agencies in other countries will eventually hand over the arrangements to a local Moroccan travel company. Therefore, if you want to save money, you should avoid the middleman and find a local Moroccan company, which is more direct and communicates one-to-one. It is much more convenient, the route design is more flexible, and Morocco is suitable for independent travel.

Later, on the recommendation of a friend, I found Yvonne a local Moroccan guide with a good online reputation, and entrusted her to arrange our trip to Morocco.

The vacation was quite satisfactory: the accommodation was comfortable throughout, the travel arrangements were reasonably designed and relatively relaxed, and it also gave us a lot of free time, giving us enough time to do some sightseeing.

When traveling to Morocco, it is recommended to find a local tour guide to accompany you. This will be super worry-free and you can experience more travel fun.

4. Reasons why you should go to Morocco and fall in love with it:

Morocco is a country with rich colors, known as the Garden of North Africa. Each major city here is like a colorful Rubik's Cube.

It is recommended to spend two days in Sahara. It is recommended to experience the fun of desert tourism in depth, which is a rare opportunity.

When you come to the Sahara Desert, you must experience the desert tent hotel. After night falls, it is the most dazzling moment of the day in the Sahara. Sitting on the sand dunes, watching the sky full of countless stars lighting up the Milky Way, the entire desert is lit up by the stars and emitting a faint light, it is like traveling through a thousand years.

Colorfulness is the keynote of Tangier, and leisure and romance are the mood of Tangier. The beautiful castles and flying seagulls are all intoxicating.

There are many interesting places that I won’t list one by one. You can leave comments and discuss them together.

During this trip to Morocco, I must thank Yvonne, a local travel service provider, who provided us with great help and attentive and enthusiastic service, which made the whole trip unnecessary and ensured that our vacation ended successfully.

The honeymoon trip ended successfully. I decided to go to Morocco as a Buddhist. Looking back, it was full of surprises. I used to think that the land of Africa was barren and barren, but when I actually arrived in Morocco, my perception was completely overturned. Everywhere I looked I saw mountains full of palm trees, red land and green cacti. The blue and white town, the charming Sahara, the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, every hotel and restaurant you stay in brings unexpected surprises. From being cautious at the beginning to completely releasing yourself in the last few days, maybe this is travel The meaning of it is to forget about work and worries during the long journey. It is very unforgettable that night, I cuddled up with my lover and sat on the quiet sand dunes to watch the night sky under the stars of the Sahara. It is an unforgettable memory in my life!

I was very lucky to choose Morocco, and also very lucky to meet Yvonne. I am very grateful to her for the excellent service he provided us, which made us happy and an unforgettable trip.

I went with my parents and grandpa on a free tour with Yvonne. Considering my grandpa's health, she did not dare to fill the itinerary too full or rush too much, so the group itinerary we signed up for this time was slower and the whole journey was relatively relaxed.

The route design is very reasonable. Grandpa did not feel tired at all. It is very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to travel. The food and accommodation are very good.

It is really down-to-earth to find a local person in charge in Morocco to design a route for you.
