Monkey Business
... got a taxi to the bus station this morning and as we got out of it there was a bus driving off with the tout shouting Azrou, Azrou, Azrou. We jumped on it but when wed asked yesterday the touts had said 9am, not 8.45, but it suited us anyway. We ...
Fez
After a fairly long day of travel, I finally arrived in Fez, and had my first proper taste of Morocco (as I spent my time in Tangiers getting food, looking for the tourist information, which was shut anyway, missing the bus to Chefchouen, and subsequently ...
Hiking...why?!
For some reason, my sanity left me and I thought that it would be a good idea to go on a school organized hiking trip...I lived to regret my momentary lapse of judgement as the hike was 6 hours long and we commenced it by climbing up a really big ...
Hey all.
... . Haven't been doing much except riding the moto around and studying. One of the cadets purchased one in Fes and we went to Azrou to get him insured. This is more of a picture post in light of the fact that I am thoroughly exhausted and am departing for ...

Fez...where have all the women gone?
... window. We learned the hard way in Rabat that windows are very necessary since they don´t have air conditioning or fans in Morocco. So enough about our squalid living conditions. We went to Fez primarily to see the huge Medina. The second day there ...
1950's scifi movie. We're in a field of volcanoes
The route out of Azrou's cedar forest hills took us past an amazing 70 kms of extinct volcanoes... peppering the huge fields down below us, the road just sits above this spectacle- and makes for good viewing. The area looks superterrestrial, and provided ...
Cedar Forests, Green Tiles, Pointy Rooftops
... road and check out the art. Many a vista, high-point later, we arrived in the mountain, Berber town Azrou- a city situated in one of Morocco's last, endangered cedar forest reserves. So neat!! The forests are home to little monkeys. Outside ...

SÓ O CAMINHO ATÉ FÉS JÁ VALEU A VIAGEM
Depois de uma noite no Sahara e um dia de descanso voltamos a cruzar os Atlas. De Erfoud a Fés são 400km. A paisagem no Início é semelhante a dos vales do Dadès e do Todra, maciços sedimentades que pela erosão formaram profundos valés. No entanto ...
Azrou
... 269;ci. Jenže my, s větším pozadím a rameny, se ne a ne usadit. Těch 80 km je tedy tak akorát... Azrou je hned na první pohled sympatické horské městečko. Na jednom ze dvou maličkých náměstí jsme ...

After a very long flight, disappointment in Meknes and miloes of driving through northern Morocco it was time to stop and spend the night. Zaid was a good interpreter-guide. He went into the hotel and made the arrangements to spend the ...
Bumpidty bump bump
The road through the Atlas Mountains was ragged and bumpy. I don't think I’ll ever be able to find mountains as beautiful of those back home. I think it may be the lack of snow or rather any greenery at all besides these evil little grass bushes ...
Descente en étapes vers Marrakech
une étape courte car finalement le village n'en valait pas la peine. C'est ce que m'avait dit une jeune marocaine qui insistait pour que je vienne dormir chez elle le soir, chez ses ...
Greedy little apes
So my journey began. Aboard a Hyundai van, Haj at the wheel, and Gary and I in the back seats, our five day journey through the Moroccan wilderness commenced. With the Sahara desert being our midway point, this day's itinerary was not too ...
meer water in het groen
Na Meski verlaten we de Hoge Atlas door de Gorge van de Ziz. Wederom een spectaculaire route. Zo nemen we afscheid van de Hoge Atlas om onmiddelijk de Midden Atlas binnen te rijden. Hier valt onze mond open van verbazing. Daar waar we sinds Ghana slechts ...
Green again
We are in the pleasant little town of Azrou, surrounded by trees - the landscape has really changed! Yoong bought her carpet at last - 130 dm for a small Berber rug. It would cost a lot more in the big cities. There was not much pressure to buy, which was ...

Marrakesh
By the time I reached Marrakesh, I didn't want to put much effort into sightseeing. Luckily, the sightseeing comes to you here. Some friends I met compared Place Djemaa El-Fna to Six Flags. They weren't far off in their analogy. ...
With Emily in Ait Hamza
After we spent a day in Azrou for a meeting Emily had to attend, we took a Grand Taxi (a taxi that acts as a bus in Morocco, they'll fit 7 or 8 people into a very tight space and drive an hour or more to different locations) to Ait Hamza. This is a very ...
Azrou
A middle Atlas repose between Fes and Marrakesh, I stopped here to purge the city dust from my pores. Walking through the forest and bald ridges, I remembered that I like the country better than the ...
Fes el-Jdid and the Mellah meets Fes el-Bali
Fes is broken up into three parts: the ville nouvelle (the new part that's quite commercial), "new fes" Fes El-Jdid, which is where the two synagogues and jewish cemetery are, and then the medina or old fes or fes el-bali and that's where i'm staying. ...

Bosque du Cedres
