There is one road trip in Morocco that is not only takes you to your destination but has views and sights one has to experience to believe. The road was constructed in 1936 by the French, and links the great city of Marrakech to Ouarzazate. It takes travelers on a journey of adventure, beauty and breathtaking views, allowing visitors to experience a historical and spectacular part of the country. Locals met along the way make the expedition even more spectacular. This famous road is called Tizi n’ Tichka Pass, and is a safe and exciting way to explore Morocco.
Tetouan is situated about 60 km east of the city of Tangier and 40 km south of the Spanish exclave of Ceuta (Sebta) and the Strait of Gibraltar. It is in the far north of the Rif Mountains. To the south and west of the city there are mountains. Tetuan is situated in the middle of a belt of orchards that contain orange, almond, pomegranate and cypress trees. The Rif Mountains are nearby, as the city is located in the Martil Valley. It is picturesquely situated on the northern slope of a fertile valley down which flows the Martil river, with the harbour of Tetouan, Martil, at its mouth. Behind rise rugged masses of rock, the southern wall of the Anjera country, once practically closed to Europeans, and across the valley are the hills which form the northern limit of the still more impenetrable Rif.
The old town in Fez is steeped in history – from its walled citadel to the oldest surviving university in the world. It has recently been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
In a way, though, that is bad news for the traditional Moroccans who have lived in the old buildings for generations: renovating them is too expensive for families on meagre incomes.
The majority of Moroccans are Muslim, practicing the Sunni variant of Islam. Other religions practiced in Morocco include Christianity, Judaism and Baha’I – a 19th century religion which evolved from Babism. With Islam being the dominant religion of the country, Mosques are considered to be of great importance and every settlement, village, town and city has at least one of these venerated places of worship.
The Saadian Tombs are located just outside Marrakech and the site is easily reached if visitors follow the Rue Bab Agnaou from the Djemma el Fna. From the Kasbah Mosque, the route to the tombs is well signposted. After the amazing discovery of the Saadian Tombs in 1917, this breathtaking site has been carefully restored and well cared for as it has become one the most popular attractions in Morocco.
