Water Sports in Morocco: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Morocco is a land of contrasts, as the country stretches from sleepy coastal towns on the Atlantic Ocean, through to massive deserts which seem to stretch on in to the horizon, mega-cities such as Marrakesh, Fez and Rabat, and the glorious and majestic Atlas Mountains, and all the delightful landscape, terrain and scenery that entails.

The weather can get extremely hot in summer, with temperatures over 40 degrees celsius quite normal, with Winters getting quite cool, especially in the desert areas.

The villages, towns and cities are full of intriguing histories and culture which they are very proud of, providing endless hours of exploration and discovery, thus ensuring there is always something to see and do.

Some of the canyoning can be quite challenging, so being fit and in decent shape before arriving will maximise enjoyment of the activity.

The scenery

The descriptions awe-inspiring and breath-taking are made for the Moroccan scenery, as the humongous and seemingly limitless Atlas Mountains tower over huge tracts of desert. Waterways of rivers and waterfalls punctuate this scenery, and there are ample opportunities for canyoning on the huge rocks and faces that shape these areas.

The variety

Morocco is a vast and massive country, with different areas influenced by different cultures. From the Spanish-influenced Tangier in the North, the Berber people who inhabit the deserts of the middle, the traditional metropolis' of Marrakesh and Fez and the coastal and relaxed Rabat and Casablanca. This means there is something interesting and new everywhere you go.

The people

Morocco's standing as a tourist mecca is helped in part by the friendliness of the people, who are welcoming and accommodating to all. There is a deep love of their country, which shows in their dealings with people they come across. You will never have a problem asking for help or directions here.
