Visiting Morocco's top cities
Yes, Morocco still conjures up visions of the Arabian nights - snake charmers, labyrinthine medinas, souks and all - but in a modern setting. It is not for nothing that it is the second most-visited country in Africa.
While in Marrakesh it might be worth your while to take the three-hour train ride to the equally enchanting city of Casablanca. Once you are in Casablanca it will take you only an hour by train to arrive in the capital city of Rabat with its famous Necropolis, Hassan Tower and the Oudaļa gate.

| AGADIR | MOROCCAN CUISINE | MUTTON TAGINE...YUMMY! |

For between 30 and 60 dirham (less than 4-7USD) you can treat yourself to a heavenly and succulent mutton tagine (picture on right). Don't miss it! And if you are adventurous enough how about asking for camel meat? (Not that I wouldn't want to try, but the idea just didn't occur to me when I was there.) Must try it the next time!
