Teresa Dominici | | Ahlan wa Sahlan "Welcome" to Morocco - is a country located in North Africa. The capital is Rabat, and the largest city is Casablanca.
Casablanca is a beautiful city, located on the Atlantic Ocean; it is a modern, clean, safe, and friendly city. Of course, what attracted us most due to its unique architecture was the mosque of Hassan II. The biggest mosque in the world, it is worth spending time to go and visit.
The city of Marrakesh, once you arrive in this beautiful, exotic Moroccan city, you will soon find a lot of reasons to stay for several days or even for weeks. Starting from its friendly locals, mouth-watering local cuisines, breathtaking palaces, mosques, and madrases to the wide selections of products and goodies offered in the city's famous souk markets. Buying products of the nature is great fun in Marrakesh, and most of the shops specializing in everything from gourmet dates to humdrum henna have the kilo prices clearly marked. For many tourist with haggling fatigue, this is a relief. And few of these vendors seem to allow you to walk away with the wrong product, and openly invite you to taste before you buy. You won't have to walk far before the first great offers on carpets come your way. Moroccan carpets are available in different styles, some of indigenous patterns and techniques (these are the best!!!), while others are of imported style. The carpets you see here are all typical Moroccan, even if they might remind the foreign visitor of carpets of other countries. Prices are OK, but there is a lot of mint tea drinking, wagging, wringing, head shaking, sighing and smiling to be done before you reach the price level where you could say that you really did a good deal.
