We arrived Casablanca very early morning, and were met by our tour guide Mohamed Dahouas. We took our bus straight away to Rabat, our first stop. Here we are at the mausoleum of a former king.
Now, in Fez. The decor behind us is widespread.
Also Fez, in front of gates to one of the royal palaces (there are a lot of them).
Near Erfoud, we took a camel ride to this spot in the Sahara, where we watched the sun set.
One morning, we took a carriage ride in Marrakech to see some sights.
Finally, back in Casablanca, we had a dinner in Rick's Cafe, which was created by a former US Diplomat to be reminiscent of the cafe in the old movie Casablanca.
Then, we flew back to JFK, to find that our continuing flight to Charlotte was cancelled, and the next available flight was two days later. We took a cab to Penn station, an Amtrak train to DC, and were picked up by Jane's sister and brother-in-law Lee and Jim. We spent 2 nights at their house, and then were able to fly from DC to Charlotte, where we drove home to a yard full of snow.
Our hotels were beyond compare. Our guide was great. Our fellow tourists were very congenial and very well travelled.
