Morocco (Timeless Places)

Although Morocco shares the Mediterranean coast with Europe, it can seem far-removed and mysterious. A photo tour takes you where timeless traditions mix with modern hotels; where crowded bazaars sell powders and potions near a muezzin's call to prayer. Travel in word and picture to the modern capital of Tangier, and explore its ancient Arab quarters of Medina. Climb the cobbled lanes that lead to the romantic Casbah, and view the Strait of Gibraltar. Dine in the 2,000-year-old seaside village of Asilah, and then visit the Roman city of Sala Colonia, and its eerie necropolis. End the visit in Casablanca, and relive its international intrigue. See how, today, Casablanca's four million people are making it a center of world trade.
