Morocco: traditions and wild nature

Morocco: traditions and wild nature

Clarissa Morello
Gateway to Africa, Morocco welcomes you with its profound diversity, between legendary mountain ranges, labyrinthine medinas and boundless deserts. If I were asked what I remember of my trip to Morocco I wouldn’t know how to answer in words but I will try to give here a description of the places I visited, the people, the wild nature that hosts mountains, hills, deserts, the sounds and noises, the aromas, spices and colors of this wonderful country.

Where to stay?

My trip to Morocco started in Marrakech and I can say that the best solution to stay is the Riad. It is a type of garden courtyard historically associated with the architecture of houses and palaces in the Maghreb and al-Andalus. Its classic form is a rectangular garden divided into four quadrants by two paved paths that intersect in the center, where there is usually a fountain. The term "riad" is nowadays often used in Morocco to refer to a hotel or guesthouse-style accommodation with shared common areas and private rooms, often within a restored traditional house. My advice is not to stay in just one Riad but to book several for the different days you want to stay in Marrakech. Each Riad is different and a unique experience.

I recommend these Riads:

Riad Mogador

Riad Jnane Mogador

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Clarissa Morello
Italy 📍 "Vast is the traveler's dwelling." I've always loved traveling, discovering and visiting new places. I love getting in touch with new things and I enjoy sharing them with others. Diversity is a wealth, not a limit. I've visited wonderful places where uncontaminated nature takes your breath away like in Norway, Sweden or deserted places with golden sand like Morocco. Asian cultures, coral reefs that never cease to amaze. As a graduate in Cultural Heritage and Archaeology I have an immense love for art and the history of man and I also love the world of plants and my thesis in Archaeobotany confirms this. Man and the environment are connected entities and when man comes into contact with different environments his being changes forever. I hope I can also transmit the love for my land, Salento (Puglia, Italy) which is a land rich in traditions, good food, wonderful beaches and wild nature.
