Morocco has been a dream destination and for good reason. Travelers admire the country's unique living history, its shimmering light and its extraordinary art. Open-air markets throughout the country are piled high with rugs, woodwork, jewlery and leather - said to be the softest in the world. Morocco's image is slowly shifting. The old romantic notion of a conservative nation steeped in Islamic and feudal history now clang with a contemporary reality.
The medieval labyrinthine medias of Marrakesh are what Morocco is all about. Marrakesh is an open oasis in southwestern Morocco at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, with rose-colored ramparts and a thousand year old palm grove. Dating back from this period, Marrakesh has impressive monuments: the Koutoubia Mosque, the Kasbah, the battlements, monumental doors and gardens. Other architectural jewels include the Bandia Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Saadian Tombs and Place Jamaa El Fna, an open-air theater. Morocco is an easy hop from Europe and a perfect extension to any cruise sailing from Lisbon. It is also a perfect add-on to August 23 Regent Mariner sailing from Lisbon.
