While the snows over the last two years in Morocco have been minimal, the industry is one that is growing. Investors and hotel chains are looking at turning the country into a hub of international sport. Snow skiing and other snow activities like Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and High Atlas freestyle skiing are all possible in Morocco. And, if well planned, can turn a regular holiday into an adventure.
Just outside of Kenitra is Mehdiya, a small town that has a decent beach brimming with Moroccan tourists during the summer months of July and August. While Mehdiya isn’t anything to write home about, per se, except for its ruined kasbah that overlooks an etuary, the Lac du Sidi Bourhaba makes a valuable day trip for those interested in bird watching in Morocco.
The surrounding green hills of Meknes in the springtime make it a pleasant place to explore, whether you are driving, taking public transport or even bicycling. The landscape of the area has been cultivated for hundreds of years and remains one of Morocco’s most fertile regions. The French new this when they started their famous wine vineyards. Hundreds, if not thousands, of vineyards remain, now controlled by one of the wealthiest men in Morocco – a humble Berber man who started out as a farmer in the fields.
Everyone who ventures across the big pond known as the Atlantic wants to stay in a Riad in Morocco. More than a hotel, a riad is an old-style Moroccan home that has been converted into a type of Bed & Breakfast establishment. While families do not run most modern riads, they do cater to tourists looking for a higher-quality, cultural, and even traditional experience. Two of the most popular places to stay in a traditional riad in Morocco are Fez and Marrakech. For our purposes, we are going to focus on Marrakech.
