Holiday tours to Morocco 'a great opportunity for photography'
Wednesday, May 27, 2009A Morocco tour may whet the appetite of holidaymakers looking for good photography opportunities, it has been suggested.
Morocco offers a host of stunning sites and monuments for budding photographers to capture, including the Unesco World Heritage site, Kasbah Ait Benhaddou.
Located five hours' drive from Marrakech, the clay-fortified village has appeared in films such as Gladiator and the Prince of Persia.
Writing in the Metro, John White described Marrakech's main square, Djemaa el Fna, as offering a plethora of photograph opportunities.
"Standing in the vast square, one can't help but feel like an extra in a Cirque Du Soleil production as snake-charmers, singers and dancers perform among the food stalls and spice markets," Mr White commented.
In addition, imaginative explorers may wish to take a look around the Berber villages or discover the Atlas mountain passes and visit north Africa's tallest peak, Mount Toubkal.
Springtime travellers can expect to see the usually semi-arid mountains topped with snow.
