"How to Find Authentic Cultural Experiences in Morocco"

Azdean is joined again by producer Ted to chat about the rich variety of cultural activities available to visitors, something that is often requested by Destination Morocco's guests. Travellers want to experience Morocco's real culture, whether it's the cooking, the music, the language or even the landscape, but framed around a vivid society dating back thousands of years.

Step one is having a local guide with you as much as possible. It's your guide who separates your experience from the average tourist, sharing stories and insight that would never be found on your own.

Guides help you connect with locals, make the most of your time and itinerary, help translate and explain certain phrases, and help your journey go so much smoother.

We talk about the various cultural activities available, including music, dance and visits to traditional villages, and highlight some of the lesser-known regions of Morocco that provide authentic experiences, away from the typical tourist paths.

We also take a look at language, as a lot of our guests are interested in learning a few phrases and understanding the differences (and similarities) between Moroccan Darija, Morocco's dialect of Arabic, and Tamzight: the Amazigh language.

The key to your experience: have zero expectations. Have dreams and ideas for sure, but the more open you are to whatever may come, to discoveries and adventure, the more you'll find that memorable cultural immersion that you're looking for.
