JOURNEYS / HOLIDAYS IN MOROCCO
Morocco : Deserts of Morocco
Access to the desert regions of Morocco is via the international airports of Oujda (north-east Morocco), Ouarzazate (southern Morocco), and Agadir (south-west Morocco). There are also several regional airports (many of them reached via Casablanca), such as Bouarfa (east), Er-Rachidia (central-south), Tan-tan (south), Laayoune (south), Smara (south) or Dakhla (far south).
If you want to stay in the North of Morocco, and want to come by boat, a maritime line Sète-Nador makes you arrive to Morocco (east coast) by boat in 36 hours from Sète (France). Welcome in Morocco!
TRAVEL IN A CAMEL CARAVAN to MOROCCO: Tour details | |
 | As mentioned under "Camping with Nomads", global warming has resulted in a shortage of water sources and nowadays, Nomads move their animals by truck. Traditional camel caravans have become very rare. So, if you want to travel in a camel caravan, it will be one that has been organised solely for tourists. This trip therefore works better for ready-formed groups, such as schools or clubs, since without the numbers, you will not capture the atmosphere of a caravan. For a more authentic experience, opt instead for the "Camping with Nomads" trip. WELCOME TO MOROCCO! See this trip "TRAVEL IN A CAMEL CARAVAN to MOROCCO: Tour details" |
STAY AT AN OASIS IN MOROCCO | |
 | Work in the OASIS is traditional, and includes small-scale agriculture, house maintenance, maintenance of irrigation channels, fishing, harvesting dates, and animal care. Your hosts will be these workers. In such a paradise, what is it that forces these people to move to the city against their will? COME TO MOROCCO TO FIND OUT! WELCOME TO MOROCCO!

TERFEZIA: MOROCCAN DESERT TRUFFLES | |
 | Hidden in the sand, these TRUFFLES must be cooked before you eat it. On no account should you should confuse sand TRUFFLES (Terfezia) with the French "Tirmania" TRUFFLES. Terfezia is plentiful and is used as a vegetable in cooking. French Tubers are relatively rare, and so full of flavour that we can consider them as a condiment with which to flavour sauces. Terfezia is plentiful in sandy areas, where the climate is dry and semi-arid. The taste is rather special: like something between an artichoke and a mushroom. There are no recipes for preparing terfezia: it is the Southern people who cook them best. In the North, terfezia is prepared like Tagine, in earthenware pots. After the meat has been cooked, the potatoes are added, together with spices (salt, pepper and ginger), and oil. The terfezia is washed, peeled and chopped, then added to the ingredients in the pot; then after some further cooking, it is served hot. We can also boil terfezia in salted water, and add eggs to make an omelette. WELCOME TO MOROCCO! See this trip "TERFEZIA: MOROCCAN DESERT TRUFFLES" |
