AL MAGREB AL AQSA
- furthest land of the setting sun, also the Arabic name for Morocco
where TWC witnessed exotic mediaeval acrobats, wondering tribesmen,
snake-charmers, magicians, etc
in the central square of the ancient city of Marrakech,
explored the surreal desert kashbahs of the Dades Gorges and Ouzarzate,
camel-trekked through the gigantic sand dunes of the Sahara during
a sandstorm
almost froze to death on on overnight bus across the snowing Middle
Atlas Mountains,
got lost in the ancient alleys of Fes' Medina,
found himself in the almost Tuscany-like olive groves of Volubilis,
turned down invitations to "drug fiestas" by drug pushers and hippies
in Chefchaouen aka Marijuana Country Africa,
and had theological discussions under the shadows of Hassan II Mosque
in Casablanca with "born-again" Islamic fundamentalists
so do you want to explore Morocco with TWC ?
