Jewels Of Morocco is the name of a tour of The Kingdom of Morocco in North Africa. The seven stories in this book take you everywhere from Casablanca where the Hassan II mosque stands, to places up and down busy streets shopping in exquisite shops and native markets; to see guards at the doors of grand palaces, kings and queens, an ancient city, Berbers in their flowing robes, veiled women, cedar forests and volcanic mountains, red-colored, mud-brick and straw villages that turn into cities, clusters of palm trees in valleys, climb to the top of snow-capped mountains and back down to the bottom of canyons, meet nomads, ride a camel into the Sahara desert to see the sunset, and ride a horse-driven carriage through the magical city of Marrakesh at the end of the tour.
