Hotel El Morabitine El Jadida

6:00 Uhr in der Früh und der Wecker klingelte - Aufstehen war angesagt - heute war bereits um halb 8 Abfahrt zur Stadtrundfahrt in Casablanca. Leider konnte man schon beim Aufstehen in der Früh sehen, dass das Wetter in Casablanca wieder nicht besser ist.... 12° um immer wieder Regen.
Treffpunkt für den Ausflug war im Theater im 6 ten Stock ...

Hello everyone Daniel here. Well it is our last night in Morocco. We caught the train from Marrakech to Casablanca which was very easy. The trip was only around three hours and gave us a chance to see some of the countryside. The scenery alternated between red rocky desert and rolling green hills. I was quite surprised by how green some areas we...

By the time we got to El Jadida twilight was fading….so much for not driving in the dark in Morocco! The campsite was set back 500m from the beach and had potential to be really nice as the parking was amongst the gm trees – kind of made us feel like we were back in Oz – but the facilities were in dire need of a good scrub so S...

We are spending the night in El Jadida, as we need to be close to Casablanca tomorrow. Once we make our stop in Casablanca, we will head to Rabat, the capital. Last night we had a nice meeting with the rotary club in Agadir, following by dinner. The people who took care of us there were so terrific - really great people, as it has been everywher...

Aujourd'hui nous avons quitté Rabat après avoir visité le Mausolé de Mohamed V, puis La Kasbah des Oudéyas. Superbe. Là où c'est déjà un peu l'aventure, pour ceux qui n'y croient pas, c'est de traverser les centres ville de Fès, Meknès, puis Rabat et aujourd'hui Casa et d'y trouver l'hôtel choisi et les sites à visiter...sans guide, sans nom d'a...

Up early for the tour of the Hassain II mosque - the third largest mosque in the world and on the water. Amazing! The detail, the size and the lengths and technology to make it last with the sea water was unreal. On our way back to the hotel we ran into this crazy old man who was kind of yelling at us outside the Madina. We didnt really want to ...

Ahhhh. El Jadida was the saving grace of the trip. Since we couldn't do the ever-popular camel trek, a few days on a beach was in order. We follow the travel gods and their signs, and they clearly were telling us to get the hell out of Ouerzazate, or we would surely die. We found a somewhat decent hotel when we arrived. That was after a few Km h...

Our plane hovered above miles of lush green fields lined by thin dirt roads, the Atlantic coast of Morocco splashing in the background. Gazing out in amazement over a continent I never thought I would see, my stresses released. I was in Africa. Beneath the warm dusked sky in Casablanca it felt as if everything had suddenly become possible. Later...

Cigarette selling Kids, Ramparts, Fish Market Restaurants, dirtier beach than Paradise, Asilah, 2 nights here, then meeting Emma in Marrakech. Was a mission getting a taxi to Marrakech from El Jadida. Had a problem leaving cos Tim got beefy with some mechanic guy at the Bus station. He said he was trying to help us. Tim thinks he was trying to r...
