]]>While most of us probably associate the country with the Sahara desert and cities like Marrakesh, did you know that there’s an Atlantic coastal city where you can visit the beach and see a 16th-century fort?
Essaouira is a relatively isolated city on Morocco’s western coast, about 3 hours from Marrakesh by car.
If you’re looking for a unique Moroccan experience, you have to check out this small city and its port, beaches, markets, and fort.
Essaouira is a city that’s always lived and died with the sea. Visitors here can take a stroll around the city’s port area and see fishermen hawking their catch to visitors.
Located near the port is the city’s fort, which was built in the 16th century during a period of Portuguese occupation. Be sure to explore the old cannons and defensive walls and take lots of pictures.
Also, Essaouira contains a beautiful Atlantic beach known as Essaouira Beach. Resort-goers and residents alike enjoy soaking up the sun and surfing in the warm waters of the ocean here.
Finally, no visit to a Moroccan city would be complete without a stroll through its souks and markets. You can find these in Essaouira, where it’s possible to buy all kinds of fresh goodies and trinkets for a cheap price.
Check out Essaouira if you’re ever visiting Morocco!

]]>It can seem daunting to travel to the Sahara, but there are several options for travelers that want to discover this unique place. Here are three great options for discovering this natural treasure.
Camel Excursion
One option for getting to know the Sahara is to visit the area on the back of a camel. These beasts, native to the region and used by its natives for centuries as pack animals, can transport you around the region’s sand dunes and provide a truly unique experience.
4WD Tour
Another great way to see the Sahara is in a 4WD vehicle, which is able to drive on the sand. By zipping around the desert in one of these, you’re likely to cover more ground than you would on foot or on the back of an animal. Plus, the speed makes it a truly exhilarating experience.
Desert Trek
Looking for a more off-the-beaten-path option for traveling through the Sahara? Try a desert trek! You’ll walk on foot through the desert, gaining a new appreciation for the immensity and vast expanse of this inhospitable land. It’s a truly unforgettable option.

]]>This doesn’t mean that the souks are perfect or without potential dangers. It’s important to know how to stay safe and keep your wallet from shrinking too fast within them.
So, here are some essential tips to have a fantastic souk experience.
?
#marrakech #souks #marokko #onygo *anzeigeDon’t be Afraid to Say “No”
Souk vendors can be very aggressive. They may try to get you to buy things in a pushy, rude fashion. Don’t be afraid to refuse and say “no” if you feel uncomfortable or if you’re being hassled by one.
Forget Google Maps
The souks are truly a maze, and their complex and complicated structure aren’t handled well by Google Maps. It’s best to just feel your way through the souks and use reference points as a means of knowing how to navigate.
See Where the Locals Shop
If a store is packed with tourists and pushy sellers, you’ll want to avoid it. Instead, look for the stores and hawkers that deal with locals to know the best places to buy things.
Keep Your Possessions Close
The souks are packed with people and can be claustrophobic. Be sure to keep a close eye on your wallet and phone, because pickpockets are definitely a danger within them.

]]>What to Do
Everyone knows about the famous pyramids in Giza, as well as the Sphinx, but what people don’t realize is that they’re only a short drive away from Cairo! In just about 30 minutes, you can go from the urban sprawl some of the most impressive moments in the world. If you’re worried about crowds, you can also go to see the pyramids at night which is a whole nother experience in and of itself. So check off one of the 7 wonders of the world during your trip!
The Egyptian Museum is another must-see place in Cairo. This museum has over 12,000 pieces of Egyptian antiquities, including some mummies belonging to Egyptian royalty. It is really amazing to see the mummies and imagine what life must have been like at that time.
Mosque of Amr Ibn Al-As was the first mosque to be built on the continent of Africa in 641-642 AD, so it is definitely worth a visit. Of course, the original structure is not standing today, but to know that the same land has been used for more than 12 centuries is pretty spectacular.
The Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar is the oldest open-air market in all of the Middle East, so you can’t miss it. This is a great market to pick up gifts for friends at home, especially for those who love to cook since there is an array of spices. However, you have to be aware that during the weekends it gets incredibly crowded, so just keep that in mind. Also, within the market are some cafes where you can enjoy traditional Arabic drinks.
Since Cairo is located right on the Nile river, take advantage of it by going on a felucca, or small sailboat, ride! This is a great way to relax after a long day of touring and allows you to see the city in a whole new light.
What to Eat
Egyptian food can be a bit heavy at times, but there are some dishes that you absolutely need to try while you’re in Cairo. The most famous dish in the city is called koshary, and is a combination of many pulses like lentils and chickpeas, with a tomato sauce as well as rice and macaroni. This poor man’s meal will definitely fill you up, so be sure to have an appetite before you try it!
Ful mudamas is another Egyptian staple street food that is normally eaten for breakfast. It is a dish made from fava beans and is also a vegan dish! Fava beans are very popular in Egyptian cuisine so it’s essential to try it.
