Heading to Morocco this December. Just wondering if anyone has been there? If so, is there anything I should know as far as areas to check out, places to avoid, things I should bring as oppose to things I could just pick up there if the need arises (ie: surf shops)? Any help would be great. My first time to Africa and I don\'t personally know anyone who has been to Morocco. Thanks in advance.
I have a buddy that went to Morroco Jan.'09 for a month. He said it was pretty epic, not sure about spots or shops. I wish I could be more help. My one goal in traveling is to hit up SW France, NW Spain, Portugal then swing into Morroco. That would be an insane trip. Good luck
Don't know much about it, but I talked to a guy I met down in CR that was from England and he said it was awesome...def. a trip I'd like to make someday. Have fun! Wish I could be of more help.
the people on here have so much money, anyone care to donate to the super fish foundation so I can go on some sweet trips??? It's only a nickle a day and I'll even send you a picture of myself and a hand written letter!
I was there a long time ago (95) doing some traveling while I studied abroad in London. Rabat is not too far from Tangiers which is the drop off point for most people coming on the ferry from Spain. There are a series of huge jetties right off Rabat and it was huge when I was there. I had no idea and no options to surf but I did see 2 people out which was surprising it was like 2xOH. I would say good luck on surf shops it is like nothing you have experienced in the US so be prepared. There may be something but I am not sure Rabat is pretty modern. You will be haggled all day long for money so best to take a "guide" early on pay them the $5 and they will shoe off the others. One of a kind experience for sure and if you can get a board you can surf for sure.
For a great trip through Morocco as well as guided surf tours through the Sahara desert, have a look at www.saharasurf.co and surf the untouched side of Morocco!
