Trekking in the Atlas Mountains, traversing the Sahara on camel-back, or surfing along the Atlantic Coast: there is a plethora of things to do in Morocco and places to explore. Heyyy,,, I know it’s been a long time since I wrote a blog post….My sincere apologies. Pausing my travels since 2020 has been very difficult for me. I mean, I visited Jamaica in 2021, but it felt like going home and not really much of an exploration for me. It was a huge change and now I am happy and comfortable to be exploring the world once again. So here I am in Morocco and I will be sharing 8 things to do while visiting:
First let me say, Morocco is a beautiful place to visit with warm, generous, and diverse people—plus a vibrant culture that’s unimaginable. Don’t believe the negativity that you see on television in America. And yes safety first—it’s always important to conduct your own research, but keep an open mind as well.
1) Camel Trekking- My sister and I booked a tour that involved a fabulous camel ride through the beautiful Saharan desert. I couldn’t leave without hopping on a camel ride and heading into the sand dunes. Here’s a word of advice as you prepare for a camel ride: It's certainly the most challenging part of the whole riding experience, so you should definitely prepare for it by limbering up and doing some light stretching (your whole body, especially your groin and thighs) before attempting to mount your camel. When I first attempted to go on the camel, it was difficult and I had to stretch my thigh. But you live and learn. However, it’s a beautiful ride!!
