Morocco is the
north-westerly African country with its Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines
on the continent. This ethnically rich and exotic nation still gives an
experience of the old world charms of its unchanged scenarios from history.
Called as the Land of God which is the meaning of its Berber name 'Marrakech',
there is no doubt that it's fascinating locales, buildings and monuments are
large tourist pullers every year.
The exotic locations of
Morocco are tailor-made for any pair of eyes looking at its desert, mountains
and very old medina paths that lead to riads and souqs. Following are some of
the exotic Moroccan places that you can visit and experience their true
colours.
Fez- The oldest of the regal cities, Fez is the queen bee of all mystic
places of Morocco. Every night as a citizen of Fez goes to sleep, he knows that
his city is the real tourist hot-spot. It treasures the heart beat of the
imperial country. It still sports the medieval looking Islamic markets named Medina of Fez el-Bali. Once you reach there, your mind can never forget the
place as you reach unprepared just to get strongly assaulted on your senses.
A short term visitor like
you can come to grips with its shops, covered bazaars with restaurants, mosques,
workshops, dye pits, tanneries, etc. Often you will come across a riot of
colours, sounds and tang while strolling there. Anyone could easily wonder
which century he is travelling into Fez when he sees only donkeys and mules
stuffing the streets and on the other side lofty satellite dishes on the
skyline and cell phones altogether.
Marrakesh- Don't confuse it with the country's name? Yes, Marrakesh is one of the
exotic locations where one experiences a distinct feeling of losing a sense of
certainty and sense of directions. Discovering the obscure pathways into this
city, mind-boggling diversions just disturb your linear walk logic. Yet, if you
still have a destination marked on your map, then the only obstructions that
you would face on your way are the hissing snakes and their snake charmers,
unrestrained mule carts, antique silver shops and old Berber healings to cure
all your problems from love to lease.
Getting Away Directly from Morocco to the US
International travellers
who desire to travel directly from Morocco to the US can actually do it through
the Visa Waiver Program or ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization).
If you are a traveller who prefers via air or sea to reach the US borders, then
ESTA is available for you.
Every traveller is supposed to fill up the
application program by themselves online. So, you can hire any third-party
agency for it too. This program intends towards ensuring the borderline
security of the United States of America. So, if in case, you wish to apply for
it then it is recommended to go online and follow the procedure as established
on the ESTA website. Just ensure that you have an active credit card and valid
passport with you.
