Dar Anebar in Fez, Dreams Come True Riad!

Here we're showing you one of our favorite riads in Fez, Dar Anebar.
It locates just behind the Hotel Palais Jamai, rather easy to find, and close to the center of the medina.
Let's find it out together!


The first thing you'd say is just "Wow!" The courtyard of Dar Anebar is very traditional and beautiful.
You can feel that now you're right in the middle of medina.


This is the entrance of Hotel Palais Jamai, near Bab Jamai. You can get here by taxi and go through the courtyard of Jamai to get to the small streets in the medina.


The streets to Dar Anebar are very narrow, quite typical in the Fez medina.


Just like other riads, rooms are kind of small. This is also a tradition of old Islamic architecture.


Entrance hall of the annex. Very sophisticated. And Wifi is well provided everywhere!


Dar Anebar is also famous with its meals, a professional cook prepare authentic Moroccan cuisine. This is Pastila, a pie with pigeon meat, local specialty of Fez. Interesting part of this meat pie is, it's very sweet!


Breakfast is also quite beautiful ...

Chefchaouen, Blue Town in the Rif Mountains!

Chefchaouen is just a small town in the Rif Mountains in the north Morocco, but so many people want to visit here just one time during their trip.
This town is very famous with its "blue" houses. Once you get into the medina, you'd feel like you are in a fantasy world!


Walls and the doors of the buildings are painted in blue. The medina, old town, looks even more mysterious!


It's a small town on the hill side of the Rif Mountains. People are attracted by its atomosphere.


Somehow it looks beautiful even at night and also, very safe.


The kasbah, the fortress of the sultan is in the center of the town. This place has a long history, based on this kasbah, the Islams fought against Europe.


Outside of the medina, the streets are also very complicated and something like a maze.


Medina's gate. Out of this place, just quiet mountains and small rivers. So peaceful!

Fossil Museum in Erfoud, Back in Jurassic Time!

If you drive through the city of Erfoud, you'll see huge models of dinosaur in front of buildings here and there. These are fossil museums, which is one the Erfoud's must-visit places.
The city locates on the quite old land and the fossils have been excavated since long time ago.
Let's visit the museum and meet ammonites and dinosaurs!


This one could be a fake, but there must have been this type of dinosaurs in the Jurassic period. Looks like Tyranno? But unfortunately, Tyrannos don't belong to the Jurassic period.


This is one of the museums. It has models, could-be-true fossils, and products made from fossils!


Ancient insects? Huge!


Seems like tadpoles but also quite big!


A kind of fish. This place was used to under the sea.


A kind of crocodiles. Ancient crocodiles had legs and they were walking around like dinosaurs!


Small fossils are sold here.


And they also have alabaster. It's almost transparent, good to make lamps.


Stones with fossils can be curved into furniture. You'll see tables and basins made of fossil stones!

Cascades d'Ouzoud, Haven from Heating Marrakech!

It's getting hotter and hotter in Marrakech!
If you stay there a little while, you may need a break from the heat.

Cascade d'Ouzoud is 2 or 3 hours drive away from Marrakech, you can see huge water falls there!
Green mountains around the great falls are also so nice to walk around.
It's time to spend some relaxing time in Cascade d'Ouzoud!


To get to Cascade d'Ouzoud, go north from Marrakech. The mountain view is very different from Atlases and also very beautiful.


Walk a small mountain street to get to the waterfall view point. Nice to walk along, local restaurants and gift shops are on your right and left. Orange juice is also popular here, like Djemaa el Fna in Marrakech.


Looking up the waterfall. In the weekend, a lot of local people visit here to feel the cool breeze from the waterfall.


Down there in the river, you can enjoy boat riding. It's a good idea to stay overnight here for camping!


There's a way to look down the waterfall. Both views are amazing!


And tajine lunch in a local restaurant. This is a kefta (meatball) tajine. Keep an outdoor table under the tree and enjoy your lunch or tea!

Riad Des Droles in Marrakech, Oasis in Medina

Here we are showing you one of our favorite riads in Marrakech, Riad Des Droles.
it's not like other famous luxury riads, the price is reasonable, but still you can feel the real beauty of a riad in Marrakech.


The corridor is beautifully decorated with furniture and plants. The lamp seems a little African.


Each room has a different color. This is a red room. The curtain makes this place something special.


This is a blue room. When you are three, this sofa can be another bed.


The roof top terrace is also relaxing, overlooking the medina in Marrakech.


Looking down the courtyard from the upper floor. the staff are very friendly! You can just visit by to enjoy the atmosphere.


The shower room. Small but also beautifully decorated. I love those brass faucets.


This is the entrance. It's always difficult to find a riad in the medina of Marrakech :-)

Volubilis, Roman Ruins and UNESCO World Heritages Site!

As you already know, Morocco has so different many faces just in one country and this is another famous one.
Volubilis, well preserved Roman ruins and one of the UNESCO World Heritages sites!

Once it was a very important Roman city in North Africa, and it had been a major city in this region until Islam arrived in Morocco.
Let's walk among the ruins and see how people lived about 2,000 years ago!


A temple for Jupiter (Zeus), Juno (Hera), and Minerva (Athen). Huge columns are the symbol of Volubilis.


Basilica. Used to be a courthouse. In ancient times, a lot of shops and houses are around here.


Triumphal arch at the time of Hadrian. This is the end of the major road of the Volubilis city.


Volubilis is very famous with its floor mosaics. You'll see Hercules, Bacchus or familiar characters in the Greek myth.


A part of public bath. Roman people loved bath, just like hammam in modern Morocco, people love to chat and spend their good time here.


Olive was grown and processed in the city, it was a very important industry, just like modern Morocco! The land is peaceful and fertile. Romans must have been so happy in this prosperous city.
