Morocco Awaiting Champions League Champion 2014


As everyone knows, the Club World Cup will be held in Morocco successively next year. This year it was held in Agadir and Marrakech, while the next will be held in both Tangiers and Rabat. 
Today, Atletico Madrid played a super match against Chelsea. They won 3-1 outside home in Stamford Bridge. It was a dream day for all Madridian people. Yesterday, Madrid’s main team Real Madrid won in Bavaria 4-0. They smashed Bayern Munich in a historical game, during which Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to overpass the record held by Lionel Messi, 14 goals, two years ago. Now CR7 stands alone in the top scorer list of Champions League 16 goals scored this season with one match in hand-- the final. The two teams will meet in Lisbon, Portugal to decide the winner of 2014 Champions League. It will certainly be a tough game for both sides. We hope the best wins.
All Moroccans are awaiting for either of the two teams of Spain’s capital to come to Morocco. Welcome Real Madrid, OR, Welcome Atletico Madrid. Welcome to Morocco: Land of Football J

Mawazine Morocco




Mawazine is a music festival organized in Rabat, Morocco's capital. It has started since 2001. This annual meeting of music of the whole world gives the passion in all rhythms. Music has always been a way where all cultures meet. What politics cannot do, music can. Morocco is a rich country in music styles. Loads of music style exist in this happy safe kingdom. I think that this festival is a good opportunity to show the richness of Moroccan music and the openness of its people towards other cultures.

Magic of Morocco



Tourists love Errachidia


Errachidia is a calm city in the south of Morocco; it used to be called Ksar Souk, but the King Hassan II turned it into its current name Errachidia after the “Massira Khadrae”, the green march. It was people from Errachidia who participated into masses in this extraordinary Moroccan event at the time. It was built by French during the last century. It is famous for its Ksours such as those in Erfoud and Rissani: Maadid has four Ksours: Mkaber Ksar, Ksar Ksir, Aabadla Ksar and Ksiba Ksar and many others. Also, Errachidia area is famous for the falling stars, which make many nomads come to search for them. Lots of tourists come to Maadid Ksour because it is set in the entrance of Erfoud town. It is a good area to discover the south of Morocco. Zize oasis is the biggest oasis in Africa; it exists in this area. Errisani and Errachidia is famous for its chorfa people; it is believed that they descend from the Alaouite dynasty. There is the shrine of Moulay Ali Sherief, the first king of Alaouite Dynasty, which is still existing in our days.

Tourists love Merzouga and its Sand












Tourists love Azilal and its Waterfalls

Morocco is not only Sahara and beaches; it is also forests and waterfalls. Very few tourists are interested in discovering these areas of Atlas Mountains. They just look for the desert and camels. I say that it is good to stay open to all the difference that Morocco has. It is another version of Morocco. Different from that of Marrakech, Fes or Tangiers and other cities in Morocco. I hope you will like it here in Azilal. Welcome to Azilal, welcome to Morocco J

Tourists love Tetouan












Tourists love El Jadida

When we talk about El Jadida, we talk about agriculture in Morocco. This city is famous for nice beaches Sidi Bouzid, El Oualidiya and El Haouzia. I don't know why so many tourists do not visit this interesting area. If they are interested in Portuguese history, they will find what they are looking for in El Jadida. Its old name was Mazagan; this name is given now to a very sophisticated group of hotels that you can find between El Jadida and Azzemour, which is not that far from the city. It's almost 20 up to 30 mns drive. I hope you will enjoy your visit here. J

Tourists love Essaouira

“In the 18th century many visitors came to Mogador, Essaouira now, by ship and entered the medina by the great gateway Bab El Mersa of Scala the Port, which was ordered to be built in 1766 by Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah the founder of the modern city of Essaouira. But the Mogador Bay and its islands have been occupied since prehistoric times.” To read about the history of Essaouira visit this nice detailed site: www.essaouira.nu/mogador.htm I hope you will like both this site and the videos made about this wonderful Moroccan small city. This is a must visit city if you want to have a nice time in Morocco.












Eid Adha

In Morocco, as in many other Arab countries, feasts are an occasion when families gather and celebrate. It is a must for all individuals to come visit their relatives no matter what the circumstances are. The big Eid or Eid Kbir as described by Moroccans, also called Eid Adha, is the most crucial feast in Morocco. Moroccan families buy sheep to celebrate this occasion. Whatsoever their income is, the family insists and is very enthusiastic to buy a robust sheep. On the day of Eid, you see the members of the family sitting altogether to have breakfast before the time of Eid’s Odhiya arrives. After finishing their breakfast meal, each has his or her own mission. Once the sheep is slaughtered, its meat is made into pieces so as to be used during the whole month. On this same day, people go visit their relatives and say happy Eid to each other. The second day, the atmosphere of Eid is still in the house; it even lasts for the whole week. I hope you have the chance to witness such happy moments for yourself because no matter what the description is, you should see it from your angle to feel its passion yourself. Believe me, you will not regret it; so come if you are the type who wants to see other cultures.











Tourists love Safi

Safi or Asafi as pronounced in the Arabic language is a coastal city. The city was held by the Portuguese until 1541. It is famous among Moroccans for its Tajine. It is a centre for the fishing industry in Morocco. Foreigners mostly come to this city in order to enjoy surfing in its savage beach. It also depends on the export of phosphates since it has a huge sea port. Safi’s architecture is dominated by sixteenth century ruined castle of the sultans. I hope you will enjoy visiting this city as well as having a look at these humble videos selected randomly from the net.
