Morocco Guide : Free Compare Hotels Price in Morocco

Agadir - Agadir is all about the beach! The town is a nice example of modern Moroccan, but not much in the way of history or culture. Take the local bus for a few cents and go 2 or 3 villages North. The beaches are much better there and there are no burglars at all.
Amizmiz - With one of the largest Berber souks in the High Atlas Mountains every Tuesday, Amizmiz is a popular destination for travelers looking for a day trip that is easily accessible (about an hour) from Marrakech.
Asni - Starting point for treks into the High Atlas Mountains.
Casablanca - This modern city by the sea is a starting point for visitors flying into the country. If you have the time, both the historical medina and the contemporary mosque (the second largest in the world) are well worth an afternoon.
Chefchaouen - A mountain town just inland from Tangier full of white-washed winding alleys, blue doors, and olive trees, Chefchaouen is clean as a postcard and a welcome escape from Tangier reminding a Greek island.
Essaouira - An ancient sea-side town newly (re)discovered by tourists. From mid june to august the beaches are packed but any other time and you'll be the only person there. Good music and great people. Nearest Coast from Marrakech.
Fez - Fez is the former capital of Morocco and one of the oldest and largest medieval cities in the world.
Marrakech - Marrakech is a perfect combination of old and new Morocco. Plan to spend at least a few days wandering the huge maze of souqs and ruins in the medina. The great plaza of Djeema El Fna at dusk is not to be missed.
Meknes - A modern, laid back city that offers welcome break from the tourist crush of neighbouring Fez.
Midelt
Ouarzazate - Considered the Capital of the South, Ouarzazate is a great example of preservation and tourism that hasn't destroyed the feel of a fantastic and ancient city.
Rabat - The capital of Morocco; very relaxed and hassle-free, highlights include a 12th-century tower and minaret.
Rissani - This small oasis town lies near the northwest edge of the Sahara.
Tangier - Tangier is the starting point for most visitors arriving by ferry from Spain. An enigmatic charm which has historically attracted numerous artists (Matisse), musicians (Hendrix), politicians (Churchill), writers (Burroughs) and others (Malcolm Forbes)
Taza
Tinerhir - This town is the perfect point of access to the stunning Todra Gorge.
Tetouan - Capital of the North of Morocco, has very beautiful beaches and is the gateway to the Rif Mountains.

Understand
Morocco's long struggle for independence from France ended in 1956. The internationalized city of Tangier was turned over to the new country that same year. Morocco virtually annexed Western Sahara during the late 1970s, but final resolution on the status of the territory remains unresolved. Gradual political reforms in the 1990s resulted in the establishment of a bicameral legislature in 1997.

Languages
Moroccan Arabic is a dialect of Maghreb Arabic. The language is fairly different from the Arabic traditionally spoken in the Middle East and is also slightly influenced by French or Spanish, depending on where in the country you are. This dialect is also related to Spanish, as Spanish was heavily influenced by Arabic from Morocco before the expulsion of 1492.
Berber, or the Amazigh Language, is spoken by Morocco's Berber population in the mountainous regions of the north, where the dialect is Tarifit, center, where the dialect is Tamazight, and south of the country, where the dialect is Tachelheet.
Despite having freed itself from colonial rule, French is still widely understood in Morocco, and it is the most useful non-Arabic language to know.
Although you will find people who speak English and Spanish in tourist centres, many of these will be touts and faux guides, who may become a burden. Many shop owners and hotel managers in urban centers also speak English.

Money
The local currency is the Moroccan dirham (Dh or MAD), which is divided into 100 centimes (c).

?1 is worth Dh 16.16, US$1 is worth Dh 7.75 and 1 Euro is worth Dh 11.36 (as of 11 Nov 2007).

There are 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, Dh 1, Dh 2, Dh 5, Dh 10 coins, although coins smaller than 20c are rarely seen these days. Notes are available in denominations of Dh 10, Dh 20, Dh 50, Dh 100, and Dh 200.

Only local currency is officially accepted in Morocco, although some hotels may accept your EUR/USD unofficially.

Money Exchange: It's forbidden to bring local currency out of the country, so it's virtually impossible to obtain local currency outside Morocco. Exchange rates are the same at all banks and official exchanges, as required by law.

Don't expect to see many banks in the souqs or medinas, but plenty of "helpful" people will exchange dollars or euros for dirhams. Unofficial exchange on the streets outside souqs or medinas doesn't seem to exist.

Besides banks and dedicated exchange offices, major post offices provide exchange, and work until late hours. There are several exchange offices in Casablanca airport.

ATMs can be found near tourist hotels and in the modern ville nouvelle shopping districts. Make sure that the ATM accepts foreign cards (look for the Maestro, Cirrus or Plus logos) before you put your card in.

Try to have as much small change as possible and keep larger bills hidden separately.
