A night to remember

What an adventurous few days. That's what I came to Morocco in search of so can't complain! After spending the first few days of the tour visiting the beautiful imperial cities of the north, including Fes where we saw the famous tanneries and huge medina, we crossed the Atlas mountains to the epic Sahara desert. Temperatures were topping 50degs, and shade was hard to come by.

Ramadan in Morocco

Visiting a country - where 99% of the population is Muslim - during the holy month of Ramadan was always going to be interesting... I don't think I was prepared for the fact that not only does everyone over the age of 18 fast during daylight hours - this includes not allowing a sip of water past the lips - but the country effectively shuts down and only comes alive after 8.30pm, when everyone has broken fast.
