Tanger is the second economic city in the country after Casablanca and where the commerce is actually in development. In this city, the Mediterranean sea gives you access to beautiful beaches where you can enjoy the agreeable weather and meet other travelers from all around the world.

Casablanca, in the western Morocco, is a majestic city of Morocco located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is the first economic center of the country where many firms have their headquarters and where the commerce is actually one of the most important in the country. This city is know for its majestic mosque Hassan II built on the sea and is the 7th largest mosque in the world. The visit of this monument is primordial for your trip in Morocco because it is your chance to discover the religious side of the country and learn more about its story. Some kilometers farther from this historical mosque, « La Corniche » is a beautiful place where you can take a walk and enjoy the sunset in the ocean. If you like shopping, Casablanca is the city where you can get your trendy and fashionable clothes from the different boutiques in the area of « Maârif », a popular neighborhood where it is indispensable to go for the chic coffee shop and its haute-couture boutiques. 

Place Jemaa El Fna 

Marrakech is the place to go if  you want to take a moment for you to relax in the chic Riads of the city, to improve your talents by practicing golf, and also to enjoy the moroccain nightlife. Marrakech, situated at 250km from Casablanca, is an amazing place to visit. Many tourists decide to go to Marrakech because you can find beautiful landscapes, feel the vibrant traditional culture of the country, and celebrate in the clubs.

MOROCCO


Welcome everyone :) 


I decided to introduce to you my country of origin, Morocco, a beautiful country with a rich culture, different landscapes, impressive monuments, and a numerous places to visit. 

First of all, let's start with a brief description of Morocco. 
- Geographic situation: North Africa 
- Population: 35 million of inhabitants 
- Area: more than 710,000 km²
- Main languages: Arabic, French, and Spanish 
- Capital: Rabat

- Main touristic cities: Tanger, Rabat, Casablanca, Fès, Meknès, Marrakech, Agadir, and Essaouira

In Morocco, the weather differs from different regions. In fact, in the same day we can wear our rain boots in Casablanca for example, taste a delicious mint tea on the top of the mountain by enjoying the sunset in Marrakech, ski during the winter in the area of Fès and burn under the sunshine in the south of the country as in Sahara. Morocco is a very touristic country. In my opinion, the best season to visit Morocco is during the the spring or the autumn because you can enjoy the agreeable weather, do a lot of activities, and visit different regions. 


The principal economic factors of this country is first of all its tourism. In fact, each year, many tourists come from all around the world to visit the historical cities of Morocco, taste the traditional couscous and the delicious tajine, and bring back to home artisanal souvenirs. This aspect is in development in the country and many people are tempted to visit the beautiful landscapes of Morocco. Plus, the agriculture represents also an important factor for the economic development in Morocco. Cereals, corn, vegetables, olives, oil, and citrus fruits are the principal agriculture production in the country. 


In my next blog post, I will introduce to you Marrakech, Casablanca, and Tanger, some of the most touristic cities in Morocco. I hope you will enjoy your little visit in Morocco and that will be your next travel destination :) 


See you soon and if you need more information about Morocco, don't hesitate.

Welcome to Canada - Bienvenue au Canada   

• My first year in Canada 

I was born in Morocco and in 2002, when I was 9, my parents decided to leave our country to settle in Canada. The first few months were very difficult for me because I was separated from my friends and family and the Quebecker - French was unfamiliar for me and I couldn't understand one word!! Plus, the most difficult problem was the cold winter. I've never seen small and white flakes in my life: it was beautiful! It was an amazing experience to try skiing and ice skating: it was wonderful :) The summer was also a great experience for me because I travelled all around Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI and Ontario. I discovered a lot of things in each cities we have visited my family and I. We tried a lot activities, enjoyed the weather, and had a great time.
