This is really what you are paying the helpers for.

Its summers are exceptionally hot and winters can be chill to the bone. Morocco’s ranges of climates greatly fluctuate due to the country’s geographic location between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Morocco’s unique weather patterns make it possible to find an ideal area to take a Morocco Tour year round, however, recommended months to experience Morocco fall between October and May. Traveling during Ramadan can a little tricky because many shops and tourist sites close early or permanently to observe the month long holiday. <br /><br />Spring (April and May) and Fall (September and October) are perhaps the best overall time to take a Moroccco Tour. With a summer climate in the south and in the mountains, as well as on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. Winter can be perfect by day in the south, though desert nights can get very cold. If you’re planning to hike in the mountains, it’s best to keep to the months from April to October unless you have some experience in snow conditions.<br /><br />Seasons and weather in Morocco take on a whole new meaning as the country is divided into two climatic zones by the High Atlas Mountains. To the north of the High Atlas, the western winds from the Atlantic contribute to the cooler temperatures of the north. Contrastingly, south of the High Atlas, the weather is influenced by the Sahara desert.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843301963326859142.post-23234280828438629222013-07-29T20:39:02.844+01:002013-07-29T20:39:02.844+01:00just read your blog,great,thank you.Can you tell u...just read your blog,great,thank you.Can you tell us what the best time of year to travel to Morrocco?

Guelmin guys were particularly hard-line. We rolled very slowly past a 'halt'sign some 30 metres in front of them, without stopping dead to wait for them to signal us forward. We learnt our lesson - when in doubt, STOP, and wait for instructions! At Agadir we came across the 'do you want a receipt' routine from the policeman - in other words, do you want a smaller fine for no receipt (which he pockets) or make the policeman complete the official penalty form - which costs more. We chose the official option and paid up. Got away with it in Guelmin - lots of humble apologies and respectful attitude to the police. Once when we were stopped ( god knows why) the policeman actually gave us the 'fine' back after we offered some cash - he was a bit embarrassed.

We are currently just north of Dakhla and would like to make all nationalities aware of the Tan Tan Trap. As you exit Tan Tan through the archway heading for El Ouatia (Tan Tan plage) you will come to a strange junction - part roundabout- part T junction. THERE IS A STOP SIGN IN ARABIC no french or english. NO ROAD MARKINGS where you give way to traffic from the right (There is'nt any and you are turning left towards El Ouatia. The police are waiting 100 yards up the road and it seems that it does not matter what you do they will stop you and fine you a hefty 700dh about £50 for not stopping at the sign. They are taking thousands a day here from all nationalities and are particularly unpleasant. We stopped at the sign with a local car in front. We now understand why he lingered so long at this 'junction'! After he had turned left we rolled forward at snails place (four yards)- no traffic coming - turned left into the 700dh fine. Having talked to many nationalities subsequently, it is not so much the fine as the synical way in which it is being done. They are also quick to their guns if you do protest too much. Refuse to sign and you don't get your documents back. Try to take photos of the offending sign etc and its Midnight Express. This encounter has marred a thoroughly enjoyable trip so far - wonderful help and assistance from all other police and officials. It would be more honest if they just charged a tourist tax on entry rather than do this.

They official ones with (some form of, probably home made!) ID still work for tips, nothing is free in Morocco! <br /><br />We actually found they added to the banter / experience and were really good humoured but perhaps we just had a good one. In our case we passed about 20 vehicles stationary in front of us waiting doing their own paperwork so it was worth it.<br /><br />If it is your first time and you don't want to use them, just tell them that you have been before lots of times and don't need any help. We took this approach on the way back and they disappeared straight away.<br /><br />I would imagine, however, if you was to sail to Tangier Med (which looks fantastic vs Ceuta) then there would be none of this hustle and bustle.<br /><br />Everyone has their own opinions of the "best way" so it's upto you to decide for yourself! :)Europe By Camperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287296201941160937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843301963326859142.post-76505819911193797422012-06-15T08:18:00.768+01:002012-06-15T08:18:00.768+01:00Great artical.
