A port city of Morocco… We were in Tangier almost 30 years ago so we kind of knew what to expect…..but we had never done a camel ride before… So it’s two hours of camel caravan slow ride from land to river, passed by military base, royal palace, sheeps chewing vegetations, Bee hive farms, river beds, other caravans….. Camels are such wonderful docile animal….. Mine is called bogoreu, P’s is called Atlas and our wonderful guide’s name is Mohamad. P doesn’t like to make animals work but R just wants to experience it, at least once…. So here it is….
The sceneries on the way to the river is serene… Camels linked in a caravan moved slowly and sturdily… Rocking up and down I imagined Lawrence of Arabia crossing the dessert…
Next stop is Souk El Had one of the biggest market place in Morocco
Beautiful beach scenery
I don’t recall seeing any camels in Merrakesh. But the market and building structures in the photos bring me back much wonderful memory of this ancient and mysterious country. People in the streets I saw were mostly young, tidy, slender, and friendly twenty-some years ago. I didn’t get to visit the beach area. Mine was a work trip. Oh, you guys look like having a ton of fun there. Good for you!
I remember you mentioned drinking mint tea in Morocco… We didn’t get to do that this time, but yes, it was flavorful and special…
