Holidays in Morocco in January
When it is snowing and cold in Russia, you want to get out where it is warmer. And then you need to think about countries that are not yet particularly spoiled by tourists and offer excellent vacations at an affordable price. And such a country is Morocco.
Where to go in Morocco in January
Morocco is warm enough in January. The air temperature does not drop below 29 ° С, but the water in the ocean is cool. Essaouira is very popular among tourists in January. This is a surfer's paradise. Constant wind and high waves allow everyone to enjoy surfing. If there is no way to swim in the salty ocean water, you need to pay attention to sightseeing tours.
The first stop is Marrakech, an old walled city. The capital of Morocco is also called the orange city, because all the buildings are made of local clay, which gives them an orange hue. In this city, you can fully experience the spirit of the Arab state, get to know the real Arab culture and enjoy the oriental flavor. In Morocco, it is not customary to flaunt wealth and luxury, so all the sights are hidden from casual sight, and it is very difficult to find them without a guide. These are the Koutoubia mosque, the El-Badi palace, the tombs of the famous Saadid dynasty, the beautiful Majorelle gardens, the largest madrasah in North Africa Ben-Yusef and others..
By the way, not far from Marrakech there is a ski resort, a visit to which in January will bring a lot of pleasure..
Agadir is considered the most popular resort among tourists. It is the epicenter of fun and celebration. This resort presents all possible entertainment for tourists. Interesting fact: several episodes were filmed near this city «Star Wars». The scenery was left in the middle of the desert, so it's worth seeing.
A few things that a tourist should have time to do in Morocco in January:
- Swim in the warm soft water of the pool at your hotel.
- Meditate in one of the temples in Marrakech.
- Buy oriental jewelry at the jewelry market at the gates of Fez.
- Drink a glass of fragrant Moroccan tea on the main square of the capital.
- Conquer the wave on one of the beaches of Essaouira.
