Why Visit Morocco?



Because the Sahara is there...the ever-shifting, ever-beautiful, ever-awe-inspiring Sahara is there




Why Visit Morocco?
by Victoria Challancin






Why visit Morocco?   Because...just because...


Because you can have your body decorated with henna as did my friend Manisha...



Because Life should be filled to overflowing...just like these tea glasses




Because, as every woman knows, slippers should be filled as well





Because you can never...NEVER have enough Hands of Fatima



Because sometimes Life needs to be decorative...



Because there are gardens to visit...



...with graffiti to decipher



Because the villages will touch you...in unalterable ways



Because art abounds and Nature cooperates...everywhere you look



 Because it smells so good... especially in the Valley of the Roses



Because humor can be found in the oddest of places...



Because of the food...OMG...the food...



Because you can get to Tombouctou in just 52 days...by camel


Ali, friend... dear, dear friend, guide, and tour operator

And because...more than anything else, the people of Morocco themselves will dazzle you...

Omar,  friend and one of our drivers



Over...


Moha, friend and riad manager 



...and over...

Melinda, friend, Aussie transplant, shop co-owner





...and over again...



Want to join me in Morocco in 2011?  

See for yourself that I am not exaggerating...
