country info
Morocco is filled with visual delights. There is Casablanca, a whitewashed city brimming with Art Deco buildings, exotic veiled women and village tribesmen, sidewalk cafes and alluring and colorful markets. The port city of Fez whispers of by-gone days with its faded architecture and dusty Colonial boulevards. Marrakech is the center of North Africa’s style and nightlife and shopping is addictive in the narrow passages winding through the souk. It is said that there are enough carpets here to pad the Alaskan Wilderness.
