subject: The Kingdom Of Morocco - A Getaway Destination Devoid Of The Crowds [print this page] It can be so tough to choose where to go on vacation sometimes. You want to travel to someplace you know will be fun, but you don't want to have to deal with mobs of tourists clogging the streets. You want all the good things that come with vacation, but you don't want to have to deal with touristy attractions. If you are looking for a place that has all these benefits but without the crazy mobs, head to Morocco. Just remember that you will need a passport, and make sure it's not damaged or missing. If your passport is in bad shape or if you can't find it, go online and access an expedited U S passport service.
These online passport processing sites specialize in passport expediting. Instead of having to wait in long lines at the post office and then wait for months upon months for your passport to arrive, you fill out the form online, pick a delivery date, and then wait for your passport. These sites can handle any sort of passport service you might need, including being able to add U.S. passport pages if you've used all yours up.
There are a whole lot of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Morocco. UNESCO picks these sites and grants them this special distinction when they exemplify extreme natural, historical, or cultural significance in our world. And with such a special distinction, you can be sure they are fun sites to see and explore.
The UNESCO World Heritage Sites found in Morocco are generally either archaeological sites or historical sites. A very famous World Heritage Site is Valubilis. Valubilis was a very important town to the Romans, and there is a whole city of Roman ruins to explore. Two of the most impressive buildings are the Capitol and the Basilica. Many of the columns originally built in the Capitol are still there, and you can still walk the center aisle of the Basilica. There are many mosaics around the site, many depicting Classical Roman mythology, like various sea monsters and Diana, the goddess of the moon and the hunt.
Meknes is another very famous World Heritage Site in Morocco. It is similar to Valubilis in that it also has a very long history and is full of interesting things to see. It differs from Valubilis because people still live there. The palace of Dar El Makhzen is one of the most spectacular things to see. This palace was occupied by the ruler of Morocco, Moulay Ismail. He ruled over Morocco for 60 years throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Bab Mansour gate is another interesting thing to see. It was built by the renowned El-Mansur, who used actual columns from the site of Valubilis to construct it. When Ismail asked El-Mansur if he was able to do better, El-Mansur replied yes, and Ismail had him executed.
