The Bird's Word

What is the best time to go to Morocco? It depends on what you want to do. 

Morocco is a land of contrasts, resulting in dramatically different climates in different parts of the country, at different times of the year. With deserts, including the vast and famous Sahara, the Mediterranean waters in the north and the waves of the Atlantic to the west, the Rif and Atlas Mountains crisscrossing the country and colorful urban areas with rich cultural histories, there are plenty of activities to choose from—and what you choose will help guide when to go.

Imagine yourself on top of a camel, trekking through the Sahara desert. There is nothing around you, and all you can hear are the footsteps of the camel on the soft sand. During the day, the sky is vast and clear; at night, it's full of billions of bright stars.

Camel trekking Morocco: It may be the most peaceful experience you'll ever have, one mostly unknown to westerners. It may also be your moment of zen.
