From the Atlantic coast to the Saharan desert; from mazing through the medinas, to shopping in the souks, Morocco certainly has more than enough things to dazzle the traveller, let alone a photographer. So here's sharing some images of my Moroccan trip in May, and hope you'll enjoy magical Morocco.

Dusk over the Atlantic coast, Rabat



A walk in the kasbah (citadel) alleys, Rabat



Street food in the medina, Rabat



Hassan II Mosque, 3rd largest mosque in the world, Casablanca



Interior of Hassan II Mosque


Most mazy medina in Morocco - Fes (sometimes spelt Fez)!!



One of many things sold in the medina, Fes



One of the most famous attraction in Fes, the tanneries

Market day in Azrou!



Atlas Mountains scenery, enroute to Er-Rachidia




Overnight in Erg Chebbi, the sanddunes of the Sahara



My camel driver, Asok



Golden dunes



Ruined Kasbah in morning light, Dades Valley



The pink Persian Rose, also known as the Damascus Rose. Every year, in May, Kelaa M'gouna will host its Rose Festival, to celebrate the harvesting of these roses for various products, most notably the rosewater.



The Rose Festival, turns out to be something like our Chingay parade, where floats and performances were paraded down the main town road



The Miss Rose pageant



One of the flower girls

The Dades Gorge



Going up the pass



Beautiful Tighza valley



Berber hospitality



Starry night sky in the valley



Shopping in the medina, Marrakech




And what is Marrakech without mentioning D'jemaa el Fna?



The grand square in its full night glory



Snails anyone?



Brains anyone?


That's all folks. To see more, can always drop by my website.
Hope y'all enjoy it!

how much did you have to budget for such a trip?

and how did you fly there, which airline and which city destination?


thanks for advice.

Hi Asimof,
I flew to Casablanca via Dubai, using Emirates.

As for budget, it varies alot, depending on what kind of travel you're comfortable
in. I travel on low budget, taking buses and trains, and using 15-20 euros per night
accomm. My total cost is 600 euros for 16days.
