The Golden Doors of the Royal Palace of Fez

Morocco is a country of contrasts, with a very unequal distribution of wealth amongst its people. The king of Morocco owns everything and his face is present in every single public establishment - from train stations, restaurants to the simple small stalls in the street selling orange juice. It is a legal obligation - meaning … Continue reading The Golden Doors of the Royal Palace of Fez →

Rabat, Morocco – the 2nd stop

After Casablanca, the second stop was Rabat, another town by the ocean but with a much more welcoming atmosphere.

We got off the train station and the first thing I … Continue reading Rabat, Morocco – the 2nd stop →
