The souk in the capital of Morocco. The Berbers are performing for a tip. We were generous.

To get to the King's palace, we drove through the city wall gate on to a modern busy avenue. A curious boy did not want to loose the sight of our van.
Getting in to the palace grounds was a puzzle. But we made it.

The Kingdom of Morocco in his glorious days ruled Spain and built the Alhambra. King Hasan, who ordered the wonderful Moorish buildings to be built in Spain, started the construction of this grand mosque in the 12th Century here, but neither he nor the other succeeding monarchs completed it. However, on one little corner of this unfinished mosque is the Mausoleum of Muhammad the 5th. the royal guards are still on duty here. We found them to be a very casual group.

Fabulous cork tree forest en route to Meknes.

Disgruntled fisherman found no takers in our group!

Verdant Vallies Tea Break at Tafilat. The sun set glowing on to the Red village along the way
