#random_thoughts........Morocco

Mohammed V Square

  • Being the largest city and business centre of Morocco, I bet many have mistaken Casablanca to be the capital of Morocco...
The busy streets of Casablanca..

  • The landscape of Morocco can change quite drastically from one region to another, ranging from land with lush vegetation to desert barren land to snow capped peaks of the Altas mountains and not forgetting the sandy beaches along the coast...


  • Why do the men in morocco wear a robe with a hood?

  • Who cares for the cats on the streets of Morocco?

What? You mean I have to earn my own keep? T_T

  • Was the Todgha Gorge really carved out by river that once flowed through it?


  • If each visitor to the Sahara Desert were to bring some of the fine sand out as keepsake, would the sand in the desert eventually run out?
The magnificient Sahara Desert!

  • There is a certain charm to the elaborately decorated doors in Morocco...


  • Why are the walls in Chefchaouen painted blue? Why blue and not other colours?

  3. A very interesting post. I don't find your thoughts random at all, if I were to visit Morocco perhaps I would have similar kind of questions running in my mind. The place is simply so beautiful and true that the landscape is so varied from one part of Morocco to the other. Totally love it.

  4. Ha, so many questions and now I want the answers! I love Morocco, but really didn't like Casablanca. Marrakesh and Fez I liked. I'd like to see more of the landscape and other cities as well.

  6. Well, your random thoughts are not really random. Even I have often wondered why Chefchaouen is painted blue? Maybe because blue looks good! But it really makes me happy to think that they have painted it blue because blue happens to be favourite colour! ;-) ;-)
    Jokes apart, the post just ignited my inquisitiveness and now I will be looking for the answers.

  7. Very nice and thought provoking post. These are some of the questions even i had when i skimmed through your pictures. Why are the walls all blue, how are they having so much of contrast in vegetation in a small country like Morocco. The shot of the Sahara desert against the blue skies are beautiful!

    1. Hi Kartik, thanks for reading and I am glad that this post has increased your curiosity towards Morocco ;P
      I have always feel that asking random questions can be a good way to get to know a place better - because if you never ask, you will never know :)
      Cheers!
