Morocco is a high choice these days. And why it wouldn’t be?

With the enhanced tourism heavily invested by the Moroccan government ensuring a good GDP from Morocco's tourist industry.

Morocco is quickly becoming one of the fastest visited countries in the world and not only because of the active part of the government (their role is indefinite) but the exotic sightseeing cities (rural or urban) are best if you are planning to go on a summer holiday.

Say a Million Times Yes!

Morocco has lots of places to offer, undoubtedly each has its own unique personality trait that makes it distinct in the eyes of tourists.

Tangier is such one of Moroccan cities representing itself in romanticism and hitchhikes for each level of fun.

It's freaking amazing!

Author signings are also arranged why not get to meet the author themselves? And get their personal point of view too?

Keep a Tight Leash on Pocket (or not!)

On a budget to your Tangier holiday? Forget to put your cashbook back into your bag pack! You can't resist the urge to visit the souks and the goods being sold there. Besides item may cost more than their par value because you are a tourist but hey hassling skills can definitely come in handy at this point. It's only the souks that are overpriced but the local boutiques offer great quality fabricated designs in Caftans, well hand embroidered will make you select one impulsively.

Blue is My Next Favourite Colour

What is it with the shades of blues in Morocco? Like Chefchaouen (impaled with blues) some part of Tangier can be dissected into the same category.

If in the mood for some cuppa visit Café Hafa, with its blue lined walls and well-reversed ambience of the early '90s is perfect to enjoy a high tea and you can interview the locals there too. Owners are extremely generous with their tales and it’s a picturesque moment.

Some Piece of U.S

American legacy is put on display as American Legation Museum consisting of historic artefacts and a research library holding onto such priceless treasure over the past number of years will help you learn of the old days.

This museum is the representation of the U.S and Morocco going hand in hand with centuries tagging along. It will only cost you 20 dirhams to get a ticket to enter the museum and is totally worth the price and the time.

Historical notions bring people together, marking its way as to how people used to co-exist before and creating an example of their own now.
