Tangier is a busy port city located on the Strait of Gibraltar in northern Morocco. It has a rich history and culture shaped by its strategic location between Africa and Europe. The city's diverse inhabitants, including Berbers, Arabs, and Europeans, have influenced the local architecture, cuisine, and arts. While the port and ferry terminal remain central to Tangier's economy, tourism has grown in recent decades. Visitors are drawn to the city's lively mix of African and European influences, evident in everything from its art galleries and cafés to its busy bazaars.

Morocco's diverse landscapes are a nature lover's paradise. The variety of ecosystems in Morocco provides habitat for an abundance of wildlife and plant species. If you come to Tangier, I recommend you to have a walk in front of the sea, you will love it!

Something that you will love about this city is the movement there is. There are many cafes with incredible views that you cannot miss. Without a doubt you have to spend an afternoon in this beautiful city and explore its beautiful streets. We took a break to drink natural fruit juices and try some sweets. And afterwards, we went to a store where they taught how to make argan oil.

The argan seeds are put in the machine and a solid material that is not used is squeezed out. Only a small amount of oil can be extracted from each nut, making argan oil rare and precious. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, argan oil is prized for its nourishing, hydrating, and antioxidant properties. It is mostly used for skin and hair care.

Morocco has become a popular tourist destination in recent years, attracting visitors with its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. From delicious cuisine to vibrant festivals, Morocco has something to delight every type of traveler. Its warm hospitality, safety and proximity to Europe make it an easy and enjoyable destination to visit. With so much to see and do, Morocco continues to climb the ranks of must-visit places.

On our second day, we woke up with the typical Moroccan breakfast and started the day going to the next destination. Tourism brings many economic benefits to Morocco, so Moroccans have an incentive to make travellers feel welcome. Yet hospitality also seems deeply ingrained in the culture here. Offering assistance and showing kindness to strangers is considered honorable. As Islam is the dominant religion, values of charity and treating others well are emphasised. Here we are at a taxi stop. The curious thing is that the taxi waits to pick up more people going to the same destination, in order to make more profit. We arrived at our destination and before continuing we had an excellent meal.

The imperial cities of Fez, Meknes, Marrakech and Rabat enchant visitors with their ancient medinas, mosques, palaces and souks. Fez's well-preserved medieval old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marrakesh seduces with its bustling Djemaa El Fna square and maze-like souks selling everything from carpets to spices. For nature lovers, Morocco's coastline, Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert provide ample opportunities for outdoor adventures.

Morocco also has a fascinating history as an ancient crossroads of civilisation. The indigenous Berber, Arab, and Jewish cultures blend with centuries of French and Spanish influence to create a unique cultural tapestry.

The Moroccan city of Chefchaouen, often simply called Chaouen, is famous for its blue architecture. Nestled in the Rif Mountains, its old town is a labyrinth of narrow alleys and steep staircases. The "Blue Pearl of Morocco" has become an essential stop on any trip through northern Morocco.

It's funny how there is a cafeteria on the same river. It is also interesting to see the oranges floating in this mini natural pool. It is something very curious and that I had not seen anywhere else. In addition to this, you can also see women dressed in typical Chaouen costumes.

This unique color tradition dates back to the 15th century, when Jewish refugees fleeing the Spanish Inquisition whitewashed their homes blue to symbolise the sky and heaven. Today, the blue color has multiple purposes - it helps keep the harsh sun off the walls, makes mosquitoes go away and sets Chaouen apart as one of Morocco's most Instagrammable destinations.

Tanger was the first city I arrived by ferry via Tarifa, Spain and after that Chefchaouen, Fes, Merzouga/ Sahara Desert, Marakech, Casablanca and Rabat. It was one of the most magnificent experience that I ever had. Solo backpacking throughout Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, the aforementioned Tarifa, Sevilla and Morocco was intense, fun, educational, grueling and the lovely citizens made it memorable. The gastronomy was savory and delectable. I was an experience and there were memorable moments that I will never, ever, forget.
