North Africa, and especially Morocco, is a fascinating region rich in both history and geography. Its cultural heritage is shaped by a blend of European, Arabic, and Berber influences. Morocco’s diverse geography—including coastlines, mountains, deserts, and fertile agricultural land—creates a highly biodiverse environment that supports a wide variety of wildlife and birds. Our trip was organized by Best Travel Morocco, a local tour operator who provided us with a unique itinerary. The itinerary was designed to take us through seven different stops before departing from Marrakech after ten days. We began our exploration of Rabat, a coastal city on the Strait of Gibraltar. The city’s beaches, located next to the old medina and surrounded by massive walls, were teeming with shorebirds and offered a stunning setting for birdwatching. We observed several species, including Yellow-legged and Lesser Black-backed Gulls, Terns, Sandpipers, Plovers, Little and Cattle Egrets, Mallards, Marbled Teals, Northern Shovelers, as well as coastal birds like Swifts, Larks, and Starlings. Occasionally, rarer species such as Audouin’s Gull, Eleonora’s Falcon, and the endangered Northern Bald Ibis could be seen, making Rabat an excellent destination for bird enthusiasts. We then traveled to Merzouga, in the Sahara Desert, where we camped to witness both sunset and sunrise. Along the way, we saw many impressive nests built by White Storks. In the desert, we spotted several typical desert birds, some of which we photographed. The Desert Sparrow, endemic to this region and found nowhere else, is a highlight for many visitors. Other birds seen included wheatears, wagtails, and doves. Our final destination was Marrakech, where we stayed in an impressive riad within the old medina and visited the vibrant night market, which featured not only goods for sale but also entertainment by local artists. In Marrakech, we also saw birds such as Rock Dove, House Bunting, Spotless Starling, Wood Pigeon, Common Magpie, and Eurasian Blackbird. Of the 37 bird species we observed, 25 were “lifers” for me—species I had never seen before. Morocco proved to be a wonderful tourist destination and a fantastic place to spot some of the more than 700 bird species reported in the country.
