Forgive me for not having come sooner… ohhh Morocco.

yesterday was a long drive from Casablanca to Marrakech, with a lot of stops; those stops were necessary since half of the group (including me) got sick. We even got a group discount at the doctor's office in Casablanca! But we survived, and now we're of to visit the medina of Marrakech. We had a …

I attempted to work my way up to the Ben Youssef Medersa but got horridly lost and ended up by the tanneries. They were interesting to look around but the people there are really aggressive asking for money (Rough guide said it should be free) they wanted 100dirhams but only got 30 and a curt goodb…

Last night, I finally got to have some pizza.  After eating vegetables and bread for the last week or so, it was a welcome relief.  Today we are off to try the local food again but we have been assured that the Moroccan food is more varied here in Marrakesh. The pizzeria was in a nice lo…

I'm going to say it outright. I love Marrakech! hell, if we ignore that awful two days we spent in Tangiers, I love Morocco! It's BRILLIANT!! :D I won't go into detail with Tangiers. It's jsut not worth it. Marrakech is so much better! The best thing about Marakech? the Kasbah. undoubtedly. It's…

Wednesday, August 03, 2005 2:48 PM My second roll of film got busted - probably the sand.  Yes, I did bring my digital camera - bummer, i brought the wrong adaptor. The camel-back ride in the Sahara was spectacular! We lead the caravan w/ a white camel.  I was thirty and tired walking …

From the day I read Paul Bowles' Sheltering Sky, I knew I had to go to Morocco.  His words described a mysterious, ancient place where history was preserved within the city, people and food... and I discovered just that in Marrakesh.  The buildings had a soft, honey hue which ch…

I visited Marrakech for 6 days in January! The atmosphere, the weather, the medina and the new part. Marrakech is beautifull..

I travelled from Marrakech to Tanger with 2 lovely CSers and then solo round the Costa Del Sol are of Spain :)

“Hello!” said the man in the long blue robes. Angela and I were walking back towards the old town after just visiting the Majorelle Gardens, owned by none other than Yves Saint Laurent. “I am not guide,” he intoned as he walked alongside us. “I only wish to practice English with nice peop…

Marrakech is a place that i have always wanted to go and March this year i finally went for it.Im glad i did now as i found it intriguing and slightly scary at times! But had an excellent time!! I would advice anybody thinking of visiting this amazing city to just go for it.

Morocco is not the kind of place that’s easy to describe in words and pictures. You have to be there to feel the culture and the warm of the people. It's just an amazing place to realize how different are our cultures and to share experiences with everyone.

We traveled from Central Marocco to the coast, than to the north, Rabat, Meknes, Fes. We went to the sanddunes of Merzougah and finished at the coast in Agadir.. A wonderful trip!!!!!
