[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3) just reread this tbread. We ended the tour in Essouria (coastal town.) And I had amazing fresh seabass, and u like another poster, I did not find the Muslim influence more conservative there. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to NOT see a big Western influence (no Starbucks, etc.)  Please write back upon your return so I know how it went for you. Enjoy!!![/quote]

OP here, just returned! The advice on this thread has been pretty accurate. Dressing, temperatures, currency and safety were all a non-issue in the end with these guidelines. The only thing I'd disagree on is the food. I don't know which spice they use in tajines but I tried it a few times and couldn't stomach the taste of it at all. And I'm not picky with my food at all. We ended up eating at european-lead restaurants like Le Café Arabe after a few failed attempts of local cuisine.

Overall it was a very interesting trip, though. Very fascinating to see the culture up close. Some things left a very positive impression (people were nice, streets, water and toilets were clean, shopping in the souks was fun), [b]others were a bit harder to see for a westerner (how they treat their animals made me cringe)...[/quote][/b]

The stray, mangey, sick and dying animals everywhere were hard for me in Morocco. I’ve been to a lot of places in the world where treatment of animals makes me cringe but Morocco was particularly tough. That and the attention from men - but I made the mistake of going with a friend and as two women out in public with no man we had a target on our back. [/quote]
