Agadir - The Allure of Sunny Beaches

I point my face into the sun and feel a brief caress of dry heat whip over my brow, the phrase 'Welcome to Agadir' still echoing in my ears. Something about this city cast a spell on me and I keep coming back.

You can make it to Agadir from Essaouira in just over two hours. But take your time – no one’s in a hurry in this neck of the woods. The jaunt up the Atlantic coast spotlights some great scenery -- miles of undisturbed beaches, an occasional lighthouse and a mix of sand, mountain and greenery that seems to sprout up out of no where.

Rabat Morocco - A Perfect Combination of Old and New

Rabat is not only the capital of Morocco, but is also rated as “the best” Moroccan city by many travelers. Far smaller than Casablanca, and not as culturally diverse as Merrakesh, Rabat is none-the-less a hit with Europeans and other visitors the world over; thanks to the city’s seamless mix of old and new.

Rabat has acted as a turn-style over the millennium, as a who’s who of invaders has breached the city walls since the 12th century in search of a strategic retreat. Yacoub El Mansour, the Almohad, erected his tents. Later the Merinids left their stamp when they raised the necropolis of Chellah upon the ancient Roman city of Sala. In the heart of the city stands the Tour Hassan, the last remains of an unfinished mosque. Behind its marble columns, the Mohammed V Mausoleum calls out for solemn respect and peaceful contemplation.

Marrakesh Morocco - The Marrakesh Express

Marrakesh has re-invented itself; juggling the mysteries of its past with the realities of modern day tourism; to create a safe haven for those who want to enjoy a mix of history, culture, shopping and relaxation. Marrakesh offers a well thought out infrastructure of hotels and restaurants, framed within an atmosphere of hospitality that continues to work its magic on visitors from all parts of the world.

Essaouira Morocco - A Tale of Pirates and Windsurfing

Welcome to the Moroccan town of Essaouira! No longer a mid-1960's hippy hangout (Jimmie Hendrix used to party here); Essaouira has evolved into a still-undiscovered gem of pristine beaches, great windsurfing, laid back nightspots and hearty restaurants. The narrow streets keep traffic to a minimum and encourage walking. With little effort you'll find yourself walking past the multi-colored doors, tall stucco-colored houses and the eclectic mix of euro-tourism and weather-worn locals.
