Christmas may be the last thing on your mind, but if you’re looking to get away when the temperature plummets and the snow starts to drop, the time is now to start considering where to go. While many travelers initially consider Europe, a multitude of savvy travelers are choosing Morocco as their destination of choice. It’s one sure-fire destination that will coax even the most reluctant snowbird from hiding. With it’s sunny skies, colorful allure, and variety of cultures and landscapes, Morocco is becoming one of the most sought-after destinations at Christmas and New Year’s time for travelers from cold-weather countries.
If you are considering Morocco for a Christmas trip, don’t just stick to the plain-old tourist track or make the mistake of spending all of your time in one bustling city, such as Marrakesh. Instead, opt for one of three extraordinary (and lesser known) regions that will make your trip both memorable and exciting.
Mirleft on the Coast
The small coastal town of Mirleft in Morocco is becoming well known for superb year-round surfing conditions and a temperate climate. You won’t find beaches lined with bars or clubs; only solitude and natural beauty are in abundance. From Agadir, Mirleft is just about three hours south. Here, you can take a walk on the beach during low tide to see huge sandstone arches carved by water and wind on ‘wild beach’ – an idyllic setting just on the edge of town.
