Hassan II mosque - Casablanca

by al2401

I never thought to see such splendour in a modern building - beautiful marble and ornately decorated cedar wood inside and intricate tile designs and sweeping colonades outside.The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is tallest religious building in the world. It is the largest mosque in Morocco and the third largest mosque in the world (after Mecca and Medina). It was designed by the French architect Michel Pinseau and took 6 years to complete in 1993. It was built partially on reclaimed land and half of the floor is directly over the Atlantic Ocean. It was built to withstand earthquakes and has a number of modern touches such as a heated floor, electric doors, and a sliding roof.The architecture shows a strong Moorish influence, similar to that of the Alhambra and the Great Mosque of Cordoba in Spain. This is one of only two mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims. Guided tours depart...

Museum of Moroccan Arts - Marrakech

by al2401

The Museum of Moroccan Arts or The Dar Si Said Museum is also in the medina and close to the El Bahai Palace. It s housed in what was once the town house of Sidi Said. It displays a mixture of modern and traditional Berber art. While not a 'museum' in a traditional sense the displays are good although the text is only in French and Arabic.The building is a masterpiece of Moroccan style with elaborate use of cedar and tiling and the gardens are worth a visit.

El Bahia Palace - Marrakech

by al2401

The Bahia Palace is located in the medina of Marrakesh near the Jewish quarter. The exact dates of the construction of the palace ae not known but it was completed by 1900. The palace complex was erected in sections additional tracts of land were obtained resulting in a slightly haphazard layout. The palace is quite large and spreads over almost eight hectares including walled gardens, pavilions, and courtyard buildings. The older part of the palace is the Dar Si Moussa which includes a courtyard in the north of the complexand a central garden featuring several fountains and cypress, orange, jasmine, and banana trees. The palace has some fine example of Moroccan architecture and design - beautiful carved archways, marble floors, painted cedar ceilings and tiled panels. I especially admired the stained glass work above the windows of the harem.The Bahia Palace has been well-maintained...

Djemaa el Fna

by al2401

Djemaa el Fna is a square and market place in the old part of Marrakech. The square dtes back to the 1070's when Marrakech was founded by the Almoravids. Much of the city was destroyed when it fell to the Almohads in 1147 and Djemaa el Fna was restored along with city in the years up to 1158.It is still the main square of Marrakech dusy both day and night. By day you will find fresh orange juice stalls, snake charmers, monkey handlers and traditional water sellers in their traditional colourful costumes. In the evening the pace changes. It is more crowded with musicians, dancers and magicians; the food stalls start up and the with the rising steam come tantalising aromas. Along one side of the square is the Marrakech souk and opposite you will find the famous terraced cafes where you can sit and relax above all the noise and confusion. If you are there at sunset the views over the square...

Struggle for water

by solopes

Olive tree are generalized in Mediterranean area, and Morocco is no exception. Being a resistant tree, it needs not too much water to survive, but... it needs some. That's why we may see in Morocco the trees lined along trenches, trying to retain the few water from raining. Without the exuberance shown by the vineyards of Porto, if composes an interesting perspective of the struggle against the advance of the desert.

what to see Fez to Marrakech by public transport

by angiebabe

If you need to budget your time then Fez, Marrakecha and the desert are excellent variety and highlights and of course the scenery enroute in between these places and leave Essaouira for another time - I probably need to go back and give Meknes another chance but each visit Ive had there I still dont have any liking for the place - and there is enough in Fes and Marrakech to see examples of them being imperial cities with grandeur and also antiquity and culture. Would be great if you could get to Volubilis - which Id almost say if you had the energy and opportunity to go just have half or 3/4 of a day in Fes and go to Moulay Idriss to stay the night so you can see Volubilis then itd be worth doing that as a good option for accommodation as well you could have a day in Fez, a day shared between Volubilis, Moulay Idriss and Meknes, a day getting to the desert, a day at the desert and...

See the desert at night

by Fanija

Of course, the main thing you will see then will be billions of stars all over your head. I must admit i had never seen so many in the sky. I was offered to sleep in a tent but after being given around ten blankets (ok, i had exaggerated about my feeling cold at night and in the end could hardly move in order not to lose the hill built all over myself) I preferred staying outdoors. So if only pausing talking is not lethal for you, keep yourself silent, too, and your heart will be filled with this incredible silence and peace of the Sahara desert! And, yes - before this you will ride a camel there! And, yes, you will hear national melodies and taste their national food!

The Marrakech Medina

by traveldave

The Marrakech Medina is the old fortified city that dates from the 1060s, when Marrakech was founded by Abu-Bakr ibn Umar. It is still surrounded by its original defensive walls. Arched gateways, or babs, lead into the heart of the medina, and additional smaller walls and gateways within the medina separate different neighborhoods from each other.There are many narrow streets and alleyways in the medina, but they are not as crowded, narrow, or confusing as those in the souq in Fez. In addition, the city has placed highly visible signs that direct visitors to different areas within the medina, so there is less chance of getting lost as is likely in Fez's souq. The Marrakech Medina is known for its souq, or marketplace, which is the largest in Morocco. Like the souq in Fez, Marrakech's souq is divided into sections in which each of the shops in that section specializes in a certain...

The Menara Gardens

by traveldave

The Menara Gardens were built sometime after 1147 by the Almohad sultan, Abd al-Mouman. It was one of several massive building projects he instituted between 1147 and 1163 after he had captured Marrakech from the Almoravids and made it his capital. The gardens served both as a productive fruit orchard and a personal pleasure garden for the sultan. The gardens are situated on 220 acres (90 hectares), and contain mainly olive and cypress trees, as well as fruit orchards. The trees are planted on a 33-foot (ten-meter) grid, giving a strict geometric symmetry to the gardens.The basin was built as an irrigation reservoir for the trees in the garden. It was part of a sophisticated system of underground channels, called qanat, which relied on gravity to distribute water throughout the orchards. The water that fills the basin is supplied by pumps that transport it from aquifers 19 miles (30...

Guéliz

by traveldave

The city of Marrakech is divided into two main districts, the historic medina where most of the tourist attractions are located, and Guéliz, the modern section of the city. Designed by French architect, Henri Prost, Guéliz was a planned city that was started during the French protectorate. The district is characterized by its numerous parks and wide, tree-lined avenues and boulevards, as opposed to the twisting, narrow lanes in the medina. It is thought that its name is derived either from a Berber word or église, the French word for "church", as the city's first Roman Catholic church was located here. Located northwest of the medina, Guéliz is the modern commercial center of Marrakech. Although there are not a lot of attractions in the area, most tourists stay in its numerous modern hotels. They can also take advantage of the many restaurants (including international fast food chains),...
