Do you have that habit of crossing out dates on your calendar? I know it is a good way of reminding myself what day of what month it is already, but I just can’t make it part of my daily routine. Just awhile ago, the digital clock on my bedside table, which I rarely pay attention to, informed me that July is just a few days away from now. So, with eyes half-closed and still sleepy, I asked myself “What is waiting for me in July?”

Maybe right now, the same question is now lingering in the minds of travelers who are aching for a an unforgettable Moroccan event. Morocco’s unique and exciting festivals can satisfy one’s longing for an exotic travel experience. If you are all set for a vacation in Morocco this July, my advice is to go straight to Marrakech. The reason: An annual Moroccan event, the Marrakech Popular Arts Festival, which will run from July 10 to 15.

Although I am really enjoying my stay here in Fez, this festival in Marrakech happens only once a year so it really shouldn’t be missed. So, before this week-long Moroccan event starts, I should have already booked at a Marrakech hotel near the venues where the performances will be held, which are the El Badi Palace and the Djemaa el Fna. Aside from the concerts and art exhibits, make sure you don’t miss the Fantasia show if you’re interested in watching a bunch of horse doing fantastic tricks. See you there!
