DVD. 7 Days. 52 Minutes. Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, has the most important harbor in North Africa and is gateway to the magic of the Orient. In the Koran it says: `And Allah's Throne Was On The Water!' Thus inspired, the Grand Mosque was built on Casablanca's shoreline. This monumental building was designed to accommodate 105,000 believers, and its tall minaret dominates the city's skyline. More than 12 million people helped finance this `Eighth Wonder Of The World' which involved 90 engineers and 30,000 craftsmen and artists. Lying northwards along the Atlantic coast, is Rabat, Morocco's capital and home to its government and royal family. The King's Palace, the Palais Royal, is a town in itself. Surrounded by walls and protected by royal guards, since 1864 it has been the main residence of the Alaouite Dynasty which has been in power since 1666. To the south of RABAT lies Chellah, City of the Dead. The Merinde necropolis has a square tower and is surrounded by a wall made of crushed loam, proof that the Cathagers built a trading centre here in the 3rd century B.C.Amongst the tombs, the sarcophagus of Sultan Abou El-Hassan stands proud with its artistic engravings. Fez El-Bali dates back to the Middle Ages and contains narrow streets, a pungent mixture of scents, the penetrating sound of craftsmen and fine examples of the Moorish art of building. Traveling through the Atlas Mountains, the small town of Ifrane boasts tranquil parks and ponds, modern residential areas and shady avenues which take the traveler by surprise. Just as with their ancestors over the centuries, today nomads and their camels traverse the endless Sahara. For a distance of over 40 kilometers, the magic landscape of the sand dunes compares with the largest in the world. Finally, Marrakesh is the dreamy city at the foot of the High Atlas and Morocco's most beautiful city. What better location to end the fairytale that is Morocco?
