Galabeya Night


Our tech guy doesn't have enough to do!

Sol Y Mar el Marsa Beach West of Alexandria, Egypt




View from room. This resort is about 3 hrs. drive west of Alexandria, past El-Alamein. It was built 2 years ago and caters for mostly Italians who fly direct into Al Marsa airport from Italy. During the cooler winter months it is empty of guests. 12 of us went in Sept. We were the only guests. Fantastic beach. Look at the water. Unlike the Alexandria beaches which are covered in garbage this beach is pristine at the moment. There are no other buildings for many miles.

Morocco March/April 2007

Carpet washing day on the bridge.
Zagora, south of Marrakech close to the Sahara


You can take a camel to water......


A 500 yr old Kasbah partly rebuilt for movies like The Gladiator.


Not much change in 500 years
Very sweet but very smart....the photo cost of course!
Candy for the kids, $$ for the adults! Who said digital was cheap!

These shots of the tannery in Jemaa el Fna only tell a fraction of the story....they absolutely stink...they are sooo primative....
These wee guys have a hard life.

Morocco March/April 2007


Four of us flew from Cairo to Casablanca, then trained to Marrakech then hired a car and drove south to the Sahara. Great country, people and shopping.
