“This morning we took an interesting city tour that included a walk through the old Central Market where we saw a lot of good looking produce, vegetables, fruits, fish, meats and spices. We also were offered many opportunities too buy everything from watches to clothing from street merchants who were overly persistent. Men dressed up in colorful costumes also tried to getus to have your picture taken with them for a dollar tip. We also walked through the Habbous Quarter, the administrative section of the city , where we saw the exterior of the Law Court and the King’s Palace. The King is young, in his 40’s ,with two young children and only one wife. His main Palace is in the Capital City of Rabat but he has 23 other Palaces in cities around the country for him to stay in when he travels.

One of the most impressive structures we have seen on our trip was another Grand Mosque–the Hassan II Mosque built on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and opened in 1993 at a approx. cost of $1,000,000,000. It is a spectacular house of worship that ingeniously blends traditional Moroccan architecture with the use of ultra sophisticated technology.” (more…)
