German portrait muralist Hendrik Beikirch captures the conflicting sensibilities of #Morocco in his mural paintings of ordinary people. This timeless #Berber women graces the 21st century national investment bank, CDG, building whose goal is to create a 1st world Kingdom. Both Beikirch & King Mohammad VI are aware of the difficulties in maintaining both traditional values with modern progress. #morocco🇲🇦 #culturaltravel #travelwriter #northafrica #publicart #cultutalheritage #progress @ifwtwa1 Dar al-Makhzen, the Royal Palace of Rabat, is the nerve center of the Kingdom of Morocco & the primary home of the royal family. The vast complex was built in the 1860s & somewhere down that long boulevard is the palace. Moroccans know a few things about dramatic lighting. #morocco🇲🇦 #culturaltravel #travelwriter #northafrica #moroccanarchitecture @ifwtwa1 Modern #art on the exterior of the Mohammed VI Contemporary Art Museum, #Rabat #morocco🇲🇦 #culturaltravel #travelwriter #museums @ifwtwa1 #northafrica I hold that #arabic #caligraphy stands alone as a singular art form. Considering this is just a plaque at the entrance to a school #football field, it's probably just a dedication to a favored coach, but to me it's a work of #art that requires no interpretation. #morocco🇲🇦 #arabiccalligraphy #Fes #culturaltravel #travelwriter @ifwtwa1 "Eid Mubarak" on this day of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of #Ramadan. A holy day & festival for both children & adults marked by feasting - after 30 days of strict fasting. Daytime kids festivities observed this afternoon in #Rabat, just walking down a street in this capital of #morocco🇲🇦 - balloons & (far right) costumed characters. #culturaltravel #travelwriter #urbanlandscape #islamicholyday #islamicfestival #familyfriendly #kidfriendly #worldtravel #culinarytravel @ifwtwa1 The wealthy #Volubilis merchant who lived in the House of Orpheus must have enjoyed the view of the surrounding fertile plains. The ruins of the great #Berber & #RomanEmpire city (300BC -1000AD) is a @unescoworldheritage site & a must see when in #Meknes or #Fes, #morocco🇲🇦 #culturaltravel #travelwriter #historicpreservation #antiquities @ifwtwa1 The holy month of #Ramadan has ended, but the dozens of sugar honeyed sweets & #cookies eaten to break the fast each evening are part of Morocco's national cuisine - and love of #sugar. #morocco🇲🇦 #moroccanfood #culinarytravel #travelwriter #culinarywriter #northafrica @ifwtwa1 When I say the Medina of #Fes is a fortified city I'm not overstating the obvious. Although it has fallen to a couple of rulers over its 1,000 year history, it'd be a challenge to get an invading army through the narrow, twisting streets of any #medina. #morocco🇲🇦 #culturaltravel #militaryarchitecture #northafrica #urbanlandscape @ifwtwa1 @unescoworldheritage #travelwriter Jardin Jnane-Sbil, the Royal Gardens of Fes, once private to the palace, were donated to the city of #Fes as a public #park by the Royal Family a couple decades ago & is a peaceful, popular #botanicalgarden to relax. #Moorish design reinvented the Western concept of #gardens by incorporating surrounding nature into formal structure. #gardening #urbanparks #culturaltravel @ifwtwa1 #morocco🇲🇦 #urbanlandscape A night market setting up just outside one of the many ornate gates into the vast fortified #Medina of #Fes, #morocco🇲🇦 Never have I seen a shopping mall so effectively secure & and has been since the 9th century. #culturaltravel #northafrica #travelwriter #urbanlandscape #nightphoto #urbanmarkets @ifwtwa1 When it's 41C (111F) in the shade you find universal ways to cool down in #Fes, #morocco🇲🇦 #publicfountains #urbanlandscape #northafrica #culturaltravel #environment #dry #summer @ifwtwa1 The Golden Doors to the Royal Palace of Fes, #morocco🇲🇦 residence of the Kings since the 14th century when in Fes. The intricately patterned #brass doors are kept gleaming with #lemonjuice. #travelwriter #northafrica #culturaltravel #historicbuildings #royalpalaces #moroccanarchitecture @ifwtwa1 I guess they decided if you can't get a good connection in #Morocco might as well build your home at the source...#internetwoes #northafrica #travelwriter #celltower #birdnests @vagabender @ifwtwa1 Grand entrance of the #forum of #Volubilis (300 BC - 1000 AD). The ruins of the once great #Berber & #RomanEmpire merchant city are must see in northern #morocco🇲🇦 & a @unescoworldheritage site just outside #MoulayIdress & #Meknes. #culturaltravel #travelphoto #northafrica #travelwriter #antiquities #archaeology Group capturing the present experience while exploring the past at #Volubilis, (300 BC - 1000 AD) the great #Berber #Roman merchant city of the Berber Kingdom of Mauritania & the #RomanEmpire, had a population of 20K+ at it's height in the 3rd century AD. The @unescoworldheritage site is considered one of the best preserved for Berber & Roman #architectural details. It's an easy 1 hour taxi excursion from #Meknes . #morocco🇲🇦 #northafrica #travelphoto #travelwriter #culturaltravel @ifwtwa1 @vagabender Home for the next 4 days, Riad Ibn Battouta has 7 suites in its elegant town house in the #Medina of #Fes #morocco🇲🇦. (From top left) in the soaring 4-story courtyard - now enclosed - lobby mint tea, the national drink, is served to guest on check-in. (Bottom) glimpse of sitting room & bedroom and deep bath tub in my #suite - at a budget rate! #travelwriter #historicbuildings #hotels #moroccanarchitecture #northafrica @ifwtwa1 #budgethotels #Orange slices drizzled with #honey & #cinnamon, traditional #moroccanfood & a fresh sweet end to dinner. #morocco🇲🇦 #culinarytravel #culinarywriter #northafrica @ifwtwa1 #desserts The leeward side of Rif Mountains, #morocco🇲🇦 may look dry but they harbor fertile plains & has been a center of olive growing since the Berbers. #culinarywriter #culinarytravel #moroccanfood #northafrica @ifwtwa1 Encasing the hill, Moulay Idress is a popular & picturesque stop when visiting the nearby Roman ruins of #Volubisis - all day excursions from #Meknes or #Fes, #travelwriter #travelphoto #culturaltravel #northafrica #morocco🇲🇦 @ifwtwa1 A view of the ruins of Volubilis (300 BC - 1000 AD) a prosperous #Berber city under the #Romanempire. I drove past on my way to nearby #Meknes #morocco🇲🇦 but will return thus week to tour the @unescoworldheritage site. #scenicdrive #traveltuesday #northafrica #romanruins #culturaltravel #travelwriter #travelphoto @ifwtwa1
