Morocco- How exotic does that sound!! Very Humphrey Bogart/Casablanca but much much more if you listened to the show this week. Heidie, who did a segment of the show today is a good friend of ours and Heidi and I have traveled the world together before the TRAV PROF entered my life. When she told me of the sleeping in the desert in a large tent with the desert tribes and riding the camels I could not wait to see her pictures which were breathtaking. The country is one of Africa’s most popular travel destinations and according to www.IEXPLORE.COM
Click Below To Listen to the Show:
you’ll find plenty to see and do: fine Atlantic and Mediterranean beaches, ancient imperial cities, Islamic landmarks, wild Joujoukan trance music, Roman antiquities, mountain villages, the spice market, mint tea, the Kasbah. Casablanca is very French- left over from Pre- WWII, Ribald is the Capital and has many ancient and beautiful Islamic Palaces, Fes ( where the Fes Hats come from( is the most ancient city in the country and close by are lakes, forests, mountains and the desert. Who can not want to visit Marrakech, where I understand without a guide you may never be able to navigate in and better out of the market a labyrinth of streets and souks with quarters of dyers, carpenters, jewelers, and many others. Don’t quit before the end so you don’t miss D’Jemaa Lfna square, a big popular fairground; unfolding day after day with its story tellers, fire eaters, acrobats, snake charmers, fortune tellers, water sellers, etc. And Bargain, Bargain, and Bargain- something I can’t do but the TRAVEL PROF is great at. Heidie bought these great leather flat shoes with exotic designs etched all over them. This country is definitely on my to- do list.
