From Fes to Marrakech, Morocco is alive with colourful scenes. The souqs of Marrakech are a medieval maze where shoppers buy leather goods, spices, rugs and clothes. The majestic Hassan II mosque dominates the shoreline in Casablanca and the ancient tannery pools in Fes are still being used to dye goat skins. Meanwhile, on the coast, visitors go to Essaouira for the cool, coastal breezes and to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the blue fishing port.
