... to his Black Guard, the most feared military force of its day. Most of his slaves were snatched by Barbary pirates working out of Rabat/Sale, one of Morocco’s most enduring and successful industries.



Moulay’s models for his empire were Egypt and Rome both of which Ismail studied and admired. His personal tastes were shaped by Louis XIV, including his capitol at Meknes that was inspired by ...

... Spain on the Camino, and there were only two of them! That's the other thing we like about travelling, meeting other travellers. So we are looking forward to getting home in November and having a good ole chinwag with all our friends. We are staying at the Hotel Diouri in Khemissett. We found it on the internet just before leaving Rabat but had no idea what it would be like, or how much it would cost. It's absolutely fine (although ...

Since my last update I've realised that perhaps some of you arent aware of my motivaton in coming to Morocco and Fes in particular. I first came to Fes about 5 years ago as part of a general holiday to see something 'different'....by that I mean something that was foreign to anything I had experienced either at home or in Europe. I was looking to plug a gap in my travels by getting my **** out of Europe for the 1st time....it had taken me 14 years to get out of Scotland, 21 years to get ...

In the garment district I watched men and young boys winding thread onto cones using old bike tires and hand sewing garments adding intricate edging that ...

... Meknes is the smallest of the three Moroccan imperial cities. It doesn't have the same enormous scale in terms of the medina, square and souqs of Marrakech (having said this, we still managed to get completely lost in the medina). It also doesn't seem to offer the same level of Moroccan architecture and spectacular sites. (Or maybe it does, but we didn't find them hiding in our hotel room). One thing we did manage to do was explore the fresh food ...

... au camping et on retourne au souk. On achète des souvenirs et des cadeaux à une jeune très sympa qui nous offre un coca ! Il tombe raide amoureux de Flo et nous offre 1500 chameaux (des vrais, pas en bois) ! Tout le monde croit que Flo est Berbère. Tous les mecs la mattent ! Après le retour au camping, on va au supermarché où on se rend compte que les mecs du souk nous prennent vraiment pour des touristes !! Le soir, repas et tout le monde au lit, parce que demain, on lève le camp.
