Photographing Morocco

Morocco is a horn of photographic plenty. It has so many aspects that appeal to the photographer. Walled, labyrinthian medieval cities, coastlines that border on the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, an inland spine of mountains running up the middle of the country, canyons with marvelous rock formations, isolated villages, and crumbling kasbahs, and beyond that, camels kicking up the sand of the Sahara desert. This is North Africa, the Mahgreb, the western-most edge of the known world as mapped by Arab cartographers of long ago. Inhabited by a mix of Arab and Berber stocks, with a bit of sub-saharan spice thrown in, it is exotic without being dangerous, the food is great and inexpensive, and the traditional Moroccan hotel or riad (a mansion converted to a small hotel) is exceedingly charming, and will find favor with even the most budget-conscious traveler.
