Recounting a trip to the Maghreb

The Maghreb is a region between Egypt, the Atlantic Ocean, the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea.
The climate varies according to the Maghreb area where it is located. An arid desert where rain is unusual, regions inland on the banks of the Mediterranean Sea where the climate has been rather mild, temperate, and coastal rain from September to May, and finally some peaks covered with snow during the winter !
North Africa offers numerous cultural experiences through its interesting and varied history, its tragic past of colonial times until independence. A territory which has a flora and fauna very diverse, vibrant cities and stunning scenery.
Our stay began in early Egypt. As soon as we landed at Cairo airport, we imagine the towering pyramids, and inseparable from Egypt dating back thousands of years ahead. Egypt has always fascinated humans because of its history dating back to a time when a very advanced civilization inhabited this land.
To enjoy our freedom, we choose the rental car so we move from North to South of Egypt. We immobilize and at strategic locations in order to make the most of everything Egypt has to reveal to us: we will maintain long remember the Sphinx of Giza, very large and impressive statue that was built before the great pyramids of upstream Nile Delta. Always cut the breath, we headed to Cairo, the capital and largest city, town not to be missed, we enjoy the sun, markets and delicious local cuisine (midamess foul, cold cod,. ..). The days that follow, we continue our journey southward, driving a few miles on roads unpleasant, but part-cons a beautiful landscape that compensates! On our way to Medinet El Fayoum Oasis we contemplate the sublime and serene state of mind that gives us the silent desert.
Time is short, we are only a short afternoon in the city of Luxor where we make good use of our camcorder to the temple and Luxor museum. After a few days fierce Tour of Egypt, we go back to the airport in Alexandria, where a plane for Tunisia ahead.
After a little over an hour flight, we walk on the soil of Tunisia. On leaving the airport in Tunis , we enjoy a blue sky and a sun that hits hard. We are transported to our hotel, conveniently located between downtown and the airport of Tunis, where we ask our business to go tan and then enjoy the beach of Sidi Bou Said is located just 25 minutes by taxi. We will stay four days in this country, certainly not as interesting as culturally Egypt, but Tunisia is evidence of a people so open, welcoming and sharing it has nothing to envy of its neighbors! Our points of interest are well-starred in the souks, including our favorite: those of Kairouan, Houmt Souk and Tatooine.
Our long journey ends in Morocco, we landed at the airport in Marrakech where a rental car waiting for us. Fez, Casablanca, Rabat or Meknes, we found different cities from one another but still preserving the bottom, the positive spirit and warm Moroccan. Morocco will remain our favorite country in North Africa.
A rewarding stay that gave us the opportunity to know better the Maghreb and get a broader view on the various secrets and hidden treasures therein.
