Traveling to the Medina, Morocco

Morocco is a country filled with culture. This is evident in the decoration of our living room when we live there. We have a pattern of lanterns, cut thin metal, glazed pottery, and tagine, reflecting the blue and green tones it draws. A lot of Tajin. Tajines is a classic Moroccan clay dish where a conical top sits on top of the base allowing steam from the dish to rise from the top hole. They sit secretly with rusty oranges on our kitchen and living room shelves, others are exposed to unpainted areas.

This is the second part of our story about traveling with children in Morocco - and some challenges we observed and addressed for ourselves. We traveled among the towns and explored the medina. If you missed it, you can read Part 1 first. But here are more of our experiences. We support an independent trip. Let us plan our own route, purchase our own train ticket, and take our own two steps. We always try to move between places and town suitable for children every night. However, we played quite a lot with other people. Morocco may need more plans than other destinations

I am 16 years old and I want to go to "exotic place", I will go to my unknown friend and her parents to learn about the unknown adventure: Morocco. We spent 16 days from the city to the Medina, from the Medina to the desert, to the snow-covered mountains. I witnessed the landscape of this area and the unmistakable change of people. At the age of 16, I was interested in a reality show, and the university will work with me (not accepting me). Suddenly the beauty of Morocco made me see a new opportunity for a totally new world, a new culture, a global connection.

In Morocco, the market is known as an outdoor market and is usually found in the Medina (old town or old town) of the city. Shopping in the agricultural market is a standard function of daily life in Morocco. In the big city, the medina usually consists of a series of open-air markets located in narrow streets and lanes. There, independent suppliers and craftworkers gathered and are known for certain kinds of products such as silverworkers. In the street or textile area Tangier, a huge market fills many streets of the medina. It is divided into two sections called Grand Socco and Petit Socco. The word "socco" is a breakdown of Arabic words meaning souks in Spanish and means the market. In these markets various items such as fresh foods, cookware, pottery, silverware, carpets, carpets, leather goods, clothes, accessories, electric products, cafes, restaurants, take-out stalls and so on are on sale.
