North Morocco

| The view as we were walking along the waterfront in Rabat. |
 |
| Moulay Idriss at sunset. A very religious town where muslims come every year on a pilgrimage. Non-muslims have only been allowed recently ie in the last 100 years |
 |
| Stork nesting on the Roman ruins at Volubus. |
 |
| Palace in Fez. |
 |
| This is Hakima, our local tour guide in Fez with the 'black soap' that you use when you go to a hammam. She said it was mostly olive oil; it melts when you spread it on your skin in the hot room. We went to a hammam to have a scrub, most people didn't like it, they said it was too rough. I gave my best 'please don't hurt me' look and it was fine. |
 |
| A mosaic table, upside down, ready to have the frame put around and concrete poured. The is apparently no pre-set pattern, the artist creates it as he goes, remembering what colours he has used. |
 |
| One of the narrower streets in Fez. . |
 |
| Khalid, our Intrepid tour guide, at the local place that served camel burgers. |
 |
| At the tannery, they provide a mint leaf to hold at your nose, but we were lucky, it wasn't too hot that day. The white stuff to clean the hides contains pigeon poop. |
 |
 |
| Chefchaouen. Ont he left and right, under the roofed area are washing basins where clothes are washed with water funneled form the stream. |
 |
| Khalid told us |
 |
| In Marrakesh, Jemaa el-Fna for our glass of mint tea. This was the end of our tour. |
 |
| Essaouira |
 |
| This is the view from a cafe at high tide. Below is the same view, low tide |
