There's no way I can describe morocco in a short blog post, but wow it's beautiful and such a different feeling country! I traveled with a great and very diverse group of people living in/from over ten countries and ranging from 22-60/70 years old! We traveled around the Atlas Mountains, the Saharan desert, and Marrakech!
Some highlights of the trip:
Donkeys and people walking through a local market with food, clothes, electronics, animals for sale..etc
Rock climbing in the toudgha gorge!
Fresh camel milk.. Tastes similar to cows but a bit sweeter..
1 hour camel ride into the Saharan Desert!
The full group prior to sand surfing at sunset!
Sand surfing - I was not upright for long..!
Apparently this is common for camels once a year..( that's no his tongue)
Chameleons along the road
Amazing paintings with Moroccan tea, saffron, and indigo!
Henna at the jamaa el fna square in marrakech
Hot air balloon ride at sun rise!!
Berber breakfast - quite bread heavy but delicious and different tasting foods
Vegetable tagine (a common Moroccan dish along with couscous)
Somehow I didn't get run over by any motorcycles in the markets..!
My happy yet terrified face with the snake charmer.
Sunset and people everywhere in the marrakech square after my hammam bath and massage - quite an experience!
So there you go, a very small taste of my morocco experience.. Now italy for 10 days, Israel for a day, and then the long flight back to New York!
