open the doors of your imagination

Valley of 1000 Kasbahs
 |
| Skoura (Ouarzazate), Morocco |
Skoura is located in the heart of the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs smack dab in the middle of a palm grove surrounded by deserted landscapes with views of the Atlas Mountains in the distance.
This particular kasbah, Kasbah Amerhidil, is featured on the 50 Dirham Note of Morocco's currency.

one after another

The fishing port in Essaouira is a treat for the senses: the smell of the sea air, the colors all around, the sound of the seagulls flying overhead...

fortress wall

Essaouira is one of, what is said to be, six towns along the Atlantic coast of Morocco that Portugal seized in the 16th century. They built fortresses around the cities to protect themselves from further invasions.

crazy goats!
 |
| Somewhere outside of Essaouira, Morocco |
Argan oil is a valuable commodity in Morocco and comes from the tree seen in this picture. The seeds inside the nut are roasted and ground to a paste. From this paste, the oil is then extracted. Goats can be a problem to these trees because they climb them and eat the leaves and nuts.
