The Kasbah les Oudaias in Rabat reminds me of beautiful Chefchaouen
Here I am back in Morocco, my fifth visit I believe. Made the scenic drive from Casablanca to Agadir on the southern coast. From Agadir, we visited nearby Taroudant, a mini-Marrakesh, and an oasis.
Entering the souk at Taroudant
Berber-type rugs
Necklaces
Shopping in the souk
Fresh Dates
Nice dress display
Really like the blue one – but would it fit Frances?
Best bakery in town
“Now which spice do I want?”
My old friend Noureddine buying pecans
Museum shop
The souk square
good conversation and tea
The wall around Taroudant
old gate at oasis
funny to see wheat growing in this oasis
more wheat
Notice they tie one front foot to a post, rather than the neck
trail running thru oasis
Date trees
Note baby date cluster
irrigation from mountains in oasis – this is old mill
Beach at low tide, Agadir
Ferris wheel, Agadir
Hotel goodies, Agadir
view from hotel – large letters on hillside say, “God, Country, King”
My friend and our Taroudant guide
We later drove about Morocco taking pictures of the different minarets (several with stork nests on top). I’ll let pictures tell the story:
Finally I spent a couple nights at my friend Noureddine’s house in Casablanca, while visiting nearby places like Rabat.
This scene in Rabat reminded me of wall art in Hawaii of a lone fisherman
