(NB: The videos work now - had to upload them to YouTube)
We recently traveled to Morocco for a short holiday trip (it's only a 3 hour flight, so why not?!). We spent our time in Fes and in theErg Chebbi dunes in the Sahara desert. Until I get the photos uploaded, here are 2 short videos for you.
One is from within the Fes medina in the souks. This medina is far more interesting and dynamic than captured in this video. The noises, smells and stimuli were endless. Several times, I even had to jump to get out of the way of loaded donkeys hauling various goods, lol!
This short one is in the dunes...
What I can say, even from our short visit, is that this country is simply amazing. The country is is incredibly rich in both culture and nature. The diversity of nature and dramatic, scenic landscapes was really a surprise for me...we traveled through snow in the Atlas mountains, through rugged moon-like and Irish-like landscapes, and of course experienced the desert...there is also much more to this country (incl. beaches, other interesting ancient cities, etc. etc.) than we were able to see on this visit.
I highly recommend this country to travelers. People are very friendly, it's not a strict Muslim country; however, I do recommend traveling with someone if you're female!
We'll definitely be heading back to explore Marrakesh and other interesting places in the future!

Wow, I didn't know Morroco was so diverse!
How was the night in the desert? Did you sleep in tents? I love the desert scenery in the video!!
Yep, we slept in bivouac tents - heavy canvas...it will be in my photos which I am uploading and sharing soon.
