Morocco and other places

Morocco, the "Land of the Farthest West", is a dream kingdom, both strikingly exotic and yet strangely familiar, where snow clad mountains rise from desert plains, and the smell of ripening dates and orange blossom perfume the air. Once described by Barbara Hutton, the tragic multi-millionairess Woolworths' heiress, as her very own "never-never land", it has preserved all the charm of a land rooted in the culture of Sherazade's 'Thousand and one nights', but without renouncing modernity and progress. Its auto routes, private clinics, schools and universities rival those of the United States and Europe, whilst almost every street, even in ancient Kasbahs and medinas, boasts a ubiquitous Cyber Café. And yet, people still dress in flowing kandoras and colourful kaftans, and wander lazily through shady bazaars, where beams of sunlight pierce blue clouds of incense smoke, while the Muezzins call the faithful to prayer five times a day.

Whilst the above is a fairly flowery description, Morocco is nevertheless a stunningly beautiful place and one that is becoming increasingly popular as a second home destination. With its extensive Atlantic AND Mediterranean coastline, Morocco offers an almost infinite number of backdrops from which to choose and an ever increasing number of new and exciting developments.
