Morocco Adventure Travel Guide
MoroRead our full adventure sports travel guide to Morocco >>
Morocco is situated in the North West corner of the enormous African continent. With around 1800 kilometres of coastline and no other land mass or wind break for thousands of miles back across the Atlantic, any waterborne, wind loving activity is exhilarating and popular in this region. Kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing all top the list of seaside entertainment and further inland there is trekking, rafting, mountain biking, off road driving and much more to whet your appetite for adrenalin. The people are friendly, lively and proud, and whilst staying in this North African country you’ll be made to feel right at home by Moroccan hospitality.
Morocco is culturally and geographically one hell of a diverse place! Ancient Arabic and Berber lifestyles clash colourfully with modern day enterprise and technology. The landscapes are a wild mix of mountainous regions, calm coastal enclaves and stark, barren desert scapes. Morocco borders Algeria to the east, Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar, to the north and Mauritania and the Western Sahara to the south.
The climate in Morocco varies - In the north, around Tangiers and the Rif Mountains, the summers run from May to September and are mainly sunny and dry. Down south is desert climate - Very little rain, soaring temperatures during the day with quite sharp drops to cooler temperatures at night. The Atlantic coast sees most rain and during winter, in the High Atlas Mountains, there would be snow.
Flights in to the larger Morocco cities are frequent from most major European cities. Or there is the option of overland travel through Europe via the Straits of Gibraltar. Once landed, the infrastructure in Morocco is good with well serviced roads and public transport in the North and Central regions. The further south you head the narrower and bumpier the roads get but you’ll reach some of the more remote destinations. Worth mentioning as well is that Morocco is often a start point for those who want to continue travelling overland across Africa.Show less...
