Morocco Things to do

Golf
Golf flourished under King Hassan II, who was an accomplished player, and has continued to grow in popularity. With 300 days of sunshine, golfers can enjoy a round at any time of the year in extremely attractive locations, enjoying pine and eucalyptus lined fairways or spectacular mountain views, without the crowds or expense of comparable European courses.
 
Walking, hiking trekking
There’s no better way to get to know Morocco than on foot. No matter whether it’s a gentle city stroll or a climb up Toubkal, Africa’s highest peak. In Summer, hiking provides an escape from the heat of the towns, Winter’s ideal for exploring southern deserts. Trekking can be arranged to suit all abilities, providing an opportunity to get away from the usual tourist areas, while mules carry food, equipment and personal belongings.

Horse and camel riding
There are excellent equestrian centres throughout the country catering for riders of all abilities. In addition, many hotels provide horses and run trekking expeditions. For some people, riding a camel is just downright painful, for others it is the only way to explore the desert. Either way, it is an experience that won’t be forgotten.

Skiing
When people think of Morocco, it is unlikely they’ll think of skiing, but the High Atlas Mountains have two ski resorts with gentle slopes for beginners and real challenges for advanced skiers.

Fishing
Morocco has almost every kind of fishing. Boat trips can be arranged in the Mediterranean or the Atlantic, where there are sea bream, tuna, swordfish, marlin and barracuda. And there are gentle and fast-flowing inland rivers, wadis and beautiful lakes where the angler may land pike, perch, roach, trout, carp, eel and barbel.

Water sports
Every type of water sport is catered for along Morocco’s 1100-mile plus coastline. Most hotels offer a wide range including sailing, yachting, windsurfing, surfing and kayaking. There are good centres for scuba diving and the resort of Essaouira offers particularly good surfing and windsurfing. Inland, there’s white-water rafting on the rivers of the High and Middle Atlas.
 
Sightseeing
Morocco’s museums are often works of art themselves, palaces of mosaics and marble, while the souks are not just places to buy and sell but the focal point of Moroccan life. Away from the towns, there is much to explore in the mountains and deserts and the Berber villages, where the culture has remained almost unchanged for hundreds of years.
