Answer 2

Dear Shouldbed: First, to Dulcrayon - Morocco is different from Monaco. Monaco belonged to Grace Kelley and has a famous Casino. It's located in Europe. Morocco is a north African country. Look at a map so you can learn the difference, sweetheart.

Shouldbed: Morocco is a blitz of the senses. It will present to you all you can ever take in - it's sights, smells, foods, colors, countryside, mystery, etc.!

In modern times it has altered in certain ways. New apartment buildings with paved residential streets are everywhere. This has taken away, literally, the mystique of Morocco, but I am told if you delve under the modern facade, you can still find the soul of this Berber land.

Highlights are: FEZ. The old Medina of this ancient city holds the market that is one of the two most renowned markets in Morocco. From the beauty of the carpet merchants to the booths in the souk selling copper and sterling silver pieces, to the Spice area where all spices are offered in large open gunny sacks filled to the top and standing upright in front of the booths(open air booth fronts with reed "ceilings" sometimes mud walls and ceilings around the booths). Some sell displays of baskets of Olives, "standing hay-stacks" of fresh Mint, baskets of Paprikas, Coriander, Cinnamons, Cumin, garlics, saffron and all colorful spices - on and on. Your senses will be screaming from it all! The tannery is there also.

For your safety: Do not enter the market of Fez without a Guide to walk you through it safely and to ensure you can find your way OUT. It is made of ancient meandering paths like a labyrinth that no one but a native could ever find their way around. He will also protect your money and your own self. This market is out of the past - like during the time of Christ. People are guiding their donkeys down these narrow paths, laden with marketable stuffs, there isn't room for the walker and the donkey. You have to turn toward the wall and press against it until the donkey and it's owner have passed by. It happens quite suddenly and is a bit scary. You could be hurt. In past decades the women are basically all veiled and covered and it feels ancient and mysterious to be there. Also, the tannery has terrible odor to it, and you would need a Guide, hired through a Hotel, to get you into the tannery area and out again as quickly as you need to go! The odor is pretty bad, but something to see, unbelievable.

Marrakesh is a city that is a MUST. Here is the great D'Jemmaa el Fna "outdoor market." If you can stay in Marrakesh for one night, you will hear throughout the night, the call of the Mussein at the top of the Mosque, calling the faithful to prayer! Take a carriage ride around Marrakesh also. The D'Jemmaa has snake charmers with Cobras, Medicine men with their "pharmacy" upon rugs on the ground and, the Store-front open stalls that sell goods - leather, caftans, sandals, etc. The D'Jemmaa is always buzzing with large crowds of people - natives and tourists. It is a MUST.

The countryside offered, in past decades, nomadic Berbers living in tents and, of course, cooking in them. Don't approach them, however! (Do not get out of your car. Locked doors.) Camels were seen, even in Caravan , in past decades. See if you can come upon some of these things now ; a rent -a -car with a Guide to drive and show you these things safely. There was a sense of danger in the past moving about the populace - out in the countryside - or in the cities. A single girl is a target for anything. You cannot be single and go into Casablanca, Fez or Marrakesh. You MUST have plans for an escort. Or, be in a supervised group. This is a warning to you! Your Escort must be from a reliable group you are going with, or from a HOTEL that is well-known. The Guides used to wear a black silk-type material caftan with a large gold Medallion around their neck to notify all they were OFFICIAL Guides.
BE CAREFUL.

One good restaurant, as a treat for you also, can be found in Marrakesh as well as in the Hotel's there. You want one authentic evening meal with the works! Bastia is a MUST. Lemon chicken over couscous is a MUST. Mint tea will be offered everywhere. Bellydancing is available in some restaurants also. You should see that too.

The 2000s have seen many changes in Morocco, but I hope its past is still findable - as I have described it for you above.

Best regards, Lana
