When there’s a will, there’s a way. My longing to be in this mountain started last year after scaling Mt. Toubkal twice. Not quite popular among the adventure seekers, this mountain massif in the High Atlas is another alternative when looking for different routes aside from the common Jebel Toubkal. Considered to be the third highest mountain in Northern...
About Rabat
After gaining independence from France on March 2, in 1956, Rabat became the administrative capital of the Kingdom of Morocco. Being the administrative capital of Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region, Rabat has so many things to offer. From the comfort of a European-like city, it is clean, green as manifested by numerous parks and spaces, tranquil compared to other cities, organized...
I do not intend to write about this wonderful trip in Laâyoune & Khnifiss National Park but my good friend Tarek was right, just put it on standby article and publish whenever I feel like sharing. Hell yeah! I guess it's worth it sharing especially the navigation part since there's no public transportation going to the park. It was...
My wife and I had been living here in Morocco for quite sometimes and we love to explore all the local cuisine around. So far tried some of them. I know that we still have a lot to try. I’m pretty sure we will taste them all. Food is always part of the culture. Every country has its own...
Morocco is such a vast country with diverse culture and was divided into 7 regions before 1997 namely Central, Eastern, North-Central, Northwestern, South-Central, Southern, Tansift. Between 1997 to 2010, the country was subdivided into 16 regions under the Full Unitary System until it was restructured to 12 regions on March 5, 2015. Meknѐs and Fѐs were merged from its previous...
This is an overdue article. I wrote this to raise awareness about the current condition of Filipino workers in Morocco. Few thousand Filipinos do exist in this northern part of Africa. What are their struggles before, during, and after lockdown? I want their families way back home to realize that life here isn’t sugar sweet. Behind those smiles you...
Day 1
Had a spontaneous trip with my friend Laurent in Imouzzer Kandar. This town located in Sefrou Province is blessed with stunning landscapes, rich agricultural industry, and hospitable people. After a less than an hour grand taxi ride from Fes, we were greeted by thick fog at the taxi station. Laurent and I immediately searched for a place where...
Tired of the usual Moroccan destinations? Want to avoid the stress from people offering anything for you to buy? Are you an art person? If yes, then head to Asilah. An ancient town about 46km south of Tangier. Built by the Portuguese in the 15th century, its ramparts and gates signify the rich history embedded in those walls. We visited...
We were sleepy after a hearty buffet breakfast, joking about going back to the apartment, and just sleep. But we have a journey to take. After a few minutes of rest, we hit the Autoroutes du Maroc and made a right-turn to Fes. My two friends were sleeping at the backseat when we stopped by the police in Ouezzane...
Imagine yourself sitting at the backseat of the grand taxi while listening to an unfamiliar tune with a constant shift of languages from Darija to French and Arabic or appreciating nature while inside a bus bound for Chefchaouen. It sounds like a dream. My wife and I had been living here in Morocco for almost 2 years now and...
