Morocco: Sights Uncovered

Travel with Tessa

Morocco - it simmers with exotic sounds, smells, flavors, and spices. From its souks (markets) to the medinas (ancient walled cities) to the kasbahs (fortified villages/citadels) to the riads (homes built around a courtyard) and to its unique cuisine. The majesty of the snowcapped High Atlas Mountains; the Palmeraie - acre upon acre of stately date palms; and the pristine, virgin, undulating sands of the Sahara. Journey with me to this exotic land, where ancient medieval sights and traditions thrive and endure.

I'm glad I didn't read the other review

Very impressed with this writer. I'm from Morocco but haven't been there since I was a small child so I have little memory of it. Her writing is brilliant, as are her descriptions. I've been listening to every podcast and reading every book I can get on Morocco since I am doing some writing myself. So far this is the best material so far.

Not Very Useful

In this short book, Ms. Ingel's strength is her enthusiasm for the beauty of the country and its people. That being said, it is not particularly useful for everything she experiences to be stunning, beautiful, delicious, fragrant or charming. There is precious little context here in terms of history, religion or geography and her time here is very short leaving out major swaths of the country like Rabat, Casablanca, the two coastlines or Agadir. Her descriptions of Fez, Marakesh, Chefchouene, and Aït Benhaddou are very nice. About 10% of the recording at the end is an excerpt from her upcoming book about India and a chance meeting of a wedding procession on the street. That makes no sense.
