How to get the most of a trip to Morocco



One of the most surprising thing about many of the visitors to Morocco is how little they know about the country they are visiting. A small amount of time doing research before you set out will assist any visitor in having a far more rewarding experience. Over the last few years we have assembled a vast amount of information about Morocco in general and Fez in particular. So - before you set out - check out the things that interest you. The View from Fez is fully searchable. For example; if your interest is in Sufi Music - then simply type the word Sufi in the search box at the lop left of this page. The results will come up and as you scroll down them you will come to a link marked "older posts" clicking on this will open up even more results for a Sufi search

Here are some of the most commonly searched for items:

Travel writing about Morocco

Accommodation
Sacred Music Festival
Moroccan Caftans

There are a lot of internet sites with practical tourist information such as maps of the Fez Medina and suggestions for sightseeing and so on and our links will also take you to some of the better ones. For restaurants you can see a guide here : Fez Restaurants or our listings with photographs Fez Food Guide
