MOROCCO
Morocco is a melting pot of cultures, especially the Berber and Arabic. The cities, Essaouira, Marrakesh, and Fez are a labyrinth of souqs where the sounds of tradespeople at work, smell the aroma of incense and witness the kaleidoscope rugs, scarves, and babouche shoes permeate the streets. The people are not always willing to be photographed, but most can be persuaded.
The Atlas Mountains are dotted with tiny villages beyond which is the Sahara where Berber men conduct camel rides to the desert camps. Also notable is the city of Chefchaouen where every house, doorway, and staircase is painted blue.
