Morocco is a bridge between the mighty Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean
corner of Europe. To the southwest of the Strait of Gibraltar along the Atlantic
coast is the large port city of Casablanca – the setting of the classic World
War II-era film. To the east of the strait and just south of the azure
Mediterranean coast is cosmopolitan Fez with its high-sided streets. Further
enjoy urban splendor inland at Marrakesh where exotic colours and styles give
this city a special kind of appeal. Being so close to Europe means there is an
overlap with European wildlife, including the elegant White Stork and colourful
European Roller. This proximity to the West also adds a unique cultural twist to
Morocco, whereby a fine understanding and tolerance of our ways is combined with
a strong adherence to Islam. For artists, naturalists and “culture-vultures”
alike, the land of shifting sands, grand palaces and sparkling coasts should be
high on your list of can’t-miss destinations.
Good to Know
Mint tea, or atay, pours high from ornate silver pots in Morocco to create frothy foam, aerating the gunpowder green tea blended with fresh spearmint and sugar for balanced sweetness. The thrice-poured ritual symbolizes life’s stages. First glass for “life” (sweet beginnings), second for “love” (warm bonds), third for “bitterness” (endings we endure). This cements hospitality as guests refuse a fourth glass politely with “Shukran” (thank you).
What to Eat
We recommend a Moroccan tagine for its slow-simmered magic in a cone-shaped clay pot that tenderizes meats like lamb or chicken while blending aromatic spices with fruits, olives, or preserved lemons into deeply flavourful, comforting stews.
The unique design traps steam for moist, caramelized results using minimal liquid, turning everyday ingredients into shareable one-pot meals that capture Morocco’s Berber-Arab heritage.
