le Maroc est le plus beau pays du monde si l’on en croit les Marocains… Tour d’horizon en 10 coups de cœur !
If you ask me, Morocco is the most beautiful place in the world. Something about the wide, dustiness of it, it’s mix of old and new, of Europe, Middle East and Africa makes it irresistible.
One of the world’s more out-of-the-way spots, it has everything from beautiful beaches to mountain snow-scapes, crowded souks to the endless sands of the Sahara Desert. Apart from the travel cred associated with venturing outside of the usual holiday hot-spots, this country has a lot to recommend it. The bustling city of Fes alone would keep a traveller enthralled for weeks, weaving through the back alleys of its enormous Medina and tasting tart green olives from the street vendors. Donkeys carry produce and motorbikes whizz past perilously close to the slow moving crowd of shoppers. The larger cities like Marrakech, or Casablanca will leave any visitor awestruck, and there is always plenty there to see and do, but the less hurried vibe of Meknes and Ouarzazate are definitely worth the trip

After
leaving Menara Airport in Marrakech, I was shocked and delighted by the
chaotic mess of its traffic, where pedestrians, cars, cabs, donkeys,
wheelchairs and every other conceivable vehicle struggle to reach their
destination.
Marrakesh is an astonishing city where Djam El Fnáa offers a globalized pulse, especially at night. The admired Koutuobia with its ancient tower, the men dressed in red offering water, musicians, snake charmers, fortune tellers, and fruit sellers mingle with tourists from all over the world who come to eat exotic food in a joyful climate, among food stands where you can eat the best fish or variety of soups.
Casablanca
is well-known for the romantic film of the same name, but a visit to
the city is full of other surprises, not least of which is the Great
Mosque Hassan II. It is a cosmopolitan place where you can see the
European trace in its lavish mansions, but there is not an ordinary
closet in the bus terminal. Tall skyscrapers host financial businesses
while crippled persons in the street beg for a few dirhams, everything
is possible there.
Time seemed to have stopped. There were habits and traditions of different times, houses were three storied with very peculiar toilets, sleeping on the terrace was usual, weddings lasted three days, and internet was easy to find while fast food was unheard of.

And
what to say about the desert? Astonishing! I could only judge the
passing of time when the voice of my host softly called me for meals.
Overwhelmed at the sight of that endless sea of sand going from yellow
to pink, I felt like a tiny creature in the immense solitude of that
powerful landscape. All was huge, peaceful, and perfect. It completely
filled my spirit. I truly thought of many problems in my life that could
have been solved more easily and living with the desert people taught
me to take things not tragically but in a real way…I had the time! The
Sahara was the unanimous highlight of my travel!
Morocco
is like a planet of its own with its diverse idiosyncrasy, beautiful
landscapes, ancient traditions, incredible friendly people, wonderful
views and a combination of traditional and modern practices, a country
not only to visit but to praise most highly.

cet événement culturel, auquel prendront part également des troupes de jeunes et d’enfants, figurent aussi l’organisation d’une conférence sur "Les arts d’Ahwach dans leur relation avec les cultures des oasis", avec la participation de spécialistes et chercheurs en patrimoine culturel, une série d'hommages à des figures et icônes de cet art ancestral, un carnaval, des expositions et des ateliers artistiques.
Convaincu de la nécessité d’accorder une attention particulière à ce patrimoine culturel immatériel et d'oeuvrer en vue de le rapprocher davantage du grand public, en particulier des jeunes et des enfants, le ministère veille à préserver cet art en encourageant les groupes et associations artistiques, et à accorder l'intérêt qui se doit aux icônes et symboles de ce patrimoine en tant que capital humain précieux, souligne le communiqué.
Le Festival national des arts d'Ahwach constitue un espace annuel de rencontres entre les troupes de cet art authentique, et un rendez-vous pour l'élévation du goût artistique dans ses différentes manifestations, conclut la même source.
