Morocco Tourist Information
Morocco is a wonderful mix of history, culture, nature, and of course food. You can get lost in the medina's of Fez or Marrakesh. They're filled with booths selling anything from produce to artwork. Book a room in a historic riad. They have lovely courtyards and gardens so you feel that you've stepped into paradise. Or you could take a camel trek in the Sahara. The stars will fill the sky and the sand dunes go on forever. After days on a trek you'll deserve a few days of relaxation on a beach in Essaouira. The diversity and rich culture in Morocco make it a must see for many travelers.

Morocco in the Off Season
Morocco is a wonderful country to visit. It can be quite popular with tourists, but if you want to escape the crowds, consider visiting during the winter months. Summer can be quite hot in Morocco, so the winter will give you a break from the heat. Some places might be a little cold, particularly in the desert areas, but generally it can be very comfortable. It's too cold to swim at the beach if that's what you're interested in, but if you're more excited about wandering through the medinas, the winter months can be the perfect time. There are far less tourists, the shopkeepers will give you a better deal, and the touts are far less. If it happens to be particularly cold when you're there, be warned that it can be hard to find a budget hotel with heat. Also test the hot water to make sure you won't be taking a cold shower in the winter.
