ARABIAN Nights. Morocco
Travel back in time... to magical Morocco
IT'S exotic, interesting, romantic - if a break in Morocco does not prove to be a magical holiday, nothing will!
Why Morocco?
It's a world where you shop in bustling souks, and visit exotic, long-forgotten villages and towns. Start your journey at Casablanca - Morocco's commercial capita! and a melting pot of sorts. The city is a pretty one and the focal point here is the large mosque that stands sentinel over the city. But it has its modern side too; by night, the djelebas give way to rocking high fashion and the discos are filled to the brim with the young and the restless. The music is as heady and loud as anywhere in the world and the women are beautiful. And this city sure knows how to party Moving on to the walled city of Fes gives you the impression of traveling back in time. The drive to reach the city is enchantment in itself. Empty toll ways offer vistas of flowers and green waving fields dotted with white and some blood-red poppies. Here, the heady scent of mint tea and the soft swish of leaves as they sway in the gentle breeze unfolds the magic of a true Arabian night. Belly-dancing, shopping in the souks and bargaining with carpet-sellers is an enthralling experience. Get mesmerised by Marrakesh - a city Yves Saint Laurent loves. The roads are broad and lined with palm trees, and the city is a modern and upbeat one. This is where you find souks and main streets lined with designer stores. The city also has the most impressive golf courses in the country and the Djamaa El Fna square will captivate you. Take in the Fantasia show by night where you will gorge on delicious food presented on large decorative platters and enjoy the horsemen's antics as they ride bareback and sidesaddle at great speed.
