Craftsmen of Fes

by al2401

Many traveller's tips say - 'don't go to such and such a shop or factory' or 'don't let the guide take you to the shop or factory'. I enjoy going to these places, especially if it is a craft or skill that I have never seen before. I know that the aim of the game is for me to buy something but there is no law that says I have to do so. If you feel obliged there is always something small that you can get as a gift for Mum.The medina area of Fes has so many craftsmen and artisans ready to share a glass of mint tea and show you their wares.

The Imperial City of Meknes

by Waxbag

Sultan Moulay Ismail was responsible for transforming this small provincial town into a monumental imperial city. A ruthless leader he conscripted a massive slave army and fought off the Berber tribes to the South and Europeans forces rooted in the north. With captured European slaves and he built an enormous Imperial complex with over 20 gates, 50 palaces, massive walls extending over 45 kms.The Place El Hedim meaning “square of demolition and renewal” is the social center of Meknes. Much of the medina was destroyed to make the square so it could be used as a staging area to construct the Imperial Palace. Along to the square is the exquisite Bab Mansour, a well preserved gate with classic Almohad designs and columns removed from the nearby ancient city of Volubilis. The gate is usually closed but occasionally hosts art exhibits.Along the inside wall from Bab Mansour is the Koubbat as...

Djemaa el Fna Experience, Marrakesh

by Waxbag

The Djemaa al Fna is without a doubt the main draw in Marrakesh, having been declared by UNESCO as a “Materpiece of World Heritage” it is quite possibly the most dramatic open dinner theater on earth. Our one year old daughter, Abigail, quickly experienced the craziness of this place when a snake charmer threw a snake in her lap. She took it rather well. The djemaa al fna meaning “assembly of the dead” is now anything but what its name suggests. It is a vibrant and lively square at the heart of Marrakesh. Stepping on to it is an unforgettable experience. There is a feast of food to explore on the square especially when hundreds of stalls are erected in the evening. With its host of healers, musicians, and entertainers it is the most bizarre open air dinner theater on the planet. In the evening over 100 restaurants open up stalls on the massive square. So pull up a chair order an orange...

Ben Youssef Madersa, Marrakesh

by Waxbag

Located in the northern medina of Marrakesh the Ben Youssef Madersa is one of Moroccos most exquisite buildings. It exemplifies Andalusian and Moroccan art and architecture from the 14th and 16th centuries. The medersa was a center for Koranic learning, where up to 900 students lived in learned. Every available surface is intricately decorated in carved stucco, lintel screens, carved cedar doors, and zellij tile. The art and architecture is largely Andalusian-influenced with many parallels to Spains Alhambra Palace in Granada. If you visit only one building in Marrakesh, make sure it is this stunning madersa.See the HD video at Ben Youssef Madersa

Birdwatching

by FMJ666

Exchange rate is approximately £1.00 = D12.00. Language : French and Berber. You can get by with a little difficulty in English. Friday evening flight from London Gatwick to Marrakech Menara International (3h10mins). Flight cost around £85.00 per person return through Royal Air Maroc website http://www.royalairmaroc.com (flight is operated by Atlas Blue). Car Hire – searched through https://www.cartrawler.com. Agent : Argus Car Hire. Car hire is expensive – approximately £200 for 6 days. I’d advise you don’t take the Extra insurance on offer from the website, as the rental company is going to bill you an extra £6.00 a day in any case. I suggest that this insurance is taken. Avoiding dings, scratches, windscreen chips and accidents in general is extremely difficult – driving conditions explained later.Fuel costs around D10.00 a litre. Typical meals cost around D250 per couple, while...

General Itinerary around Morocco March-April

by angiebabe

Also I would recommend reading through our VT travel pages that have beenput together with lots of info in tip form with photos to have a read and get a feel of choices - as much of your post here is 'asking for the whole shibang' of information required to have a trip to Morocco!Ive quite a bit of information in my pages on some of my favourite and frequented places in Morocco - and so have a lot of other VTers.I would also recommmend not going without a good guidebook to have along with you and that would of course make very good preparation reading for you too - I recommend the Lonely Planet guide book on Morocco and the DK eyewitness guidebook - and have found the information in those as being a lot more correct than the information that is in the normally fantastic Rough Guide series of guide books.As for March-April, its one of the best and most beautiful months to be in Morocco...

The Winds of Essaouira

by Waxbag

Essaouira, exotic seaport, conjured between the tumultuous seas and barren desert, chromatic blend of Africa and Europe, place of a relentless wind and unforgiving seas and home to the men who plow its fertile waters. It’s medina contains many contrasts of color and noise that is both cracked and faded and vibrant and lively. The winds here are called the “Alizee” and they are relentless attracting the most extreme wind and kite surfers who dare to harness its power. See video of the beaches of Essaouira and the kite surfers. The Winds of Essaouira

Ait Ben Haddou.

by cachaseiro

Ait Ben Haddou is an ancient fortified city near Ouarzazate that is very interesting to visit.the place is very well preserved and the view from the top is amazing.If you are in to movies then it might interest you that the movie "gladiator" was filmed there.

Essaouira.

by cachaseiro

Essaouira uis a very charming seaside town that has both good beaches and an old part of town that is considerd world heritage.The old part of town is walled and there is a very lively medina.The harbour is among the busiest in Morocco and full of life and my favorite part of Essaouira.

Marrakesh.

by cachaseiro

Marrakesh is sitting on the foot of the Atlas mopuntains and near the Sahara desert and i one of the most interesting towns in Morocco.It has a lot of different ethnic groups because it's sitting on a crossroad between the coast and the desert and Marrakesh is just one big orgasm for your senses.In my opinion it's one of the most thrilling cities in the world and an absolute must see.
