Culture Shock
Travel in Morocco and you may feel that you have plunged into a culture unlike anything you have ever experienced. Standing in Marrakech surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the Djemaa El Fna, it’s difficult to imagine sitting on a desert dune 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 simple wooden plough and 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.
