Olives in the Souq

August 29, 2011 by thirdeyemom

Greetings from Morocco…wish you were here! Photo taken in April 2011 in Rabat, Morocco. During a week’s trip volunteering in Morocco I came to fall in love with the fascinating, all you can want to buy Moroccan souq. There was everything there possible including tubs of turtles, Moroccan beauty products, spices, clothing, electronics, counterfeit jeans and t-shirts, and olives. I love olives and wanted to dig my hand inside the huge tub and start eating them! But of course I […]

Greetings from Morocco…wish you were here! Photo above taken on the beach in Rabat, Morocco during a one-week volunteer trip in April 2011. One day during my stay in Rabat I decided to venture down to the beach, alone, as a Western female visiter.

There are beautiful, hidden alleyways and whitewashed buildings with varying hues of blues. It is mostly residential now and apparently many rich foreigners are buying up the picturesque homes. At the end of these mazes of hidden, narrow alleys, you enter and enormous open space which affords a spectacular view […]

Cat in the souq

July 14, 2011 by thirdeyemom

Greetings from Morocco…wish you were here! Photo taken in April 2011 at the souq in Rabat, Morocco. There is something magical about the souq. You can find everything and anything you need: Spice, olives, caftans, babouches, savon noire, pottery, lanterns, scarves, blankets, and cats! I took this picture of the Moroccan cat after hours of exploring the main souq in downtown Rabat. The call to prayer was blaring and the cat just sat there staring at me lazily and questionably while the light […]
