Culture Shock
Travelling in Morocco you may feel as if you have been plunged into a culture unlike anything you have experienced. Standing in the Djemaa El Fna (Central Square) of Marrakech surrounded by all the hustle and bustle it’s difficult to imagine sitting on a desert dune and enjoying the tranquillity of a Sahara sunset – Morocco is full of such contrasts. When you leave your modern hotel with its mosaic swimming pool and travel across Morocco’s ever-changing landscape you will see women washing their clothes in the river and men tilling the soil with a donkey. In contrast to the European-style estates in cities such as Marrakech there are Berber families living a simple nomadic lifestyle in homespun wool tents.
