| Summary: | The country of Morocco has been influenced by African, Arab, Berber, and European cultures and is well known for its colorful markets, beautiful architecture, excellent shopping, and beaches. Here we explore the Ourika Valley, thirty-five miles south of Marrakech and home to an attractive string of villages along the Ourika River, including Setti Fatma, which is most famous for its seven waterfalls. We take in Fantasia, an exciting festival held in Meknes, which is an example of traditional folklore in Morocco that dates back in time for thousands of years and includes horses, costumes, and music. Lastly, we visit Agadir, which was founded in the early 1500s by the Portuguese. Today, it is not only a flourishing trading and fishing port, but also a modern seaside resort area.
