El Badi Palace

Morocco Day 11

One final morning of sightseeing, to see what I'd missed. There wasn't that much left, and I'd got enough time to check-out other sites I'd not planned on seeing before a long walk back to the hotel to collect my bags for the flight home from this Moroccan adventure.

Atlas Mountains Football pitch

Morocco Day 4

The hike from Tizgui to Tiziane was one of the warmest yet, and this combined with the shifting ground underneath, green even though it wasn't grass, made it hard.

Morocco Day 3

Strong winds meant Mount Toubkal would not be safe to climb, but today we'd be hiking from Tizi Oussem to Tizgui.
