Moroccan History Unique and abstract?

Moroccan history is more than its cracked up to be! I really enjoyed this article about the relationship of Morocco and Palestine. Must be from the school days of studying The Arab Israeli Conflict!

No Moroccan Trip

In the end it just wasn’t feasible, the trip to Morocco did not happen. Time was the biggest constraint we had unfortunately so taking two days out (more or less) to travel to Morocco and back again wasnt on. It was a real pity as im sure my brother would have really enjoyed it but hey, there’s always next time! Of course next time the trip to Morocco will be a little better planned!

riads in fez morocco seem to be a popular attraction, im looking into the cost of riads in fez morocco but if anyone can help me out or let me know the general costing and paper work involved in purchasing riads in fez morocco or indeed any property I will happily share this information as concisely as possible here on the site. I might even dedicate a whole section to it as I believe its a little bewildering!

Moroccan Design

The Moroccan style of design is interesting in contrast to accepted European design. No human figures are included in the displays as its actually not allowed in Islamic religion, im going to check on this, so don’t quote me.

The whole aspect of their design is via symmetry and patterns, apparent in their building crafts, trades and art as well as fashion. It makes for some eye shattering displays of colour and repetition that I personally find quite intriguing.

Morocco design is influenced heavily by religion from what I could gather, not unlike Rome and the Vatican´s influence on the middle ages art.

I will be bringing more examples and Moroccan design styles as I come across them!
