Desert Morocco Adventure Tours

Morocco is the essence of North African charm and the land of commingling horizons. Glittering Saharan deserts of the south and east quickly become snow-capped mountains of the Atlas range, followed by the rolling green heartland, which drops down to the sparkling Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. Travel to Morocco and wrap yourself in the warmth of the enduring Berber, Arab and African people and 10,000 years of their most fascinating history; a history that could only occur where the spheres of Africa and Europe meet intimately and unavoidably upon the Strait of Gibraltar. The distinctive layer of Morocco is its great imperial Islamic cities. The central medina (old town) of each city is typically still walled in and houses the most ancient part of these treasured towns, including a minaret-tipped mosque. Open-air markets, snake-charmers, music performers and cafés are all spilling over with life every day of the week except Friday. Fez (or Fès), Morocco’s former capital, is on...

A desert is a landscape region that receives very little precipitation or regions where the potential evaporation rate is twice as high as the precipitation. For a piece of land to be classified as a desert it must receive less than 250 mm of precipitation per year. Because of such a low level of precipitation deserts are known for supporting very little forms of life. The world's deserts are divided into four categories. Subtropical deserts which are the hottest, with parched terrain and rapid evaporation. Although cool coastal deserts are located within the same latitudes as subtropical deserts, the average temperature is much cooler because of frigid offshore ocean currents. Cold winter deserts are marked by stark temperature differences from season to season, ranging from 100° F (38° C) in the summer to 10° F (–12° C) in the winter. Polar Regions are also considered to be deserts because nearly all moisture in these areas is locked up in the form of ice. With that said ...

Of Marrakech’s mosques, the Koutoubia Mosque boasts the tallest minaret, the graceful tower finding its place in the city’s skyline. The iconic tower was constructed during the the 12th century rule of Sultan Moulay Yacoub al-Mansur. When the minaret was added, the mosque had to be rebuilt so that it would be oriented to Mecca and worshippers could bow toward the holy city. Situated about a three minute walk from the bustling Jemaa el-Fna square, the mosque is still in use, and so it’s closed to the public in general. But people are able to get in and see its pretty architecture from the outside. The attention to detail in the design of the minaret is really something to behold, particularly at sunset when the sun shines on the sandstone walls, bathed in the warm golden light, which is to be seen – whilst in Marrakech. The tower is seventy seven meters high and  visible through the previous city. The  Koutoubia Mosque  has inspired many magnificent towers, like t...
