Moroccan tourism on the up…

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

…where will it end, we ask ourselves?

Just three to four years ago Marrakech airport had one terminal. Now it has a fabulous main terminal building which dwarfs the original.

And now there’s a tender out for the construction of a third one – along with a second terminal at Fez!

Apparently by 2013 Marrakech will be able to handle 10 million passengers a year – more than double its current capacity.

Of course if you’re heading to Essaouira you can also use Agadir – or our local airport…still waiting for routes other than Paris/Casablanca!

As in all the best photo-shoots, it’s the stuff that’s NOT in shot that’s the most revealing…but for now, sit back and enjoy some bits of the new place that we CAN show you!

Click here to see the photo album on our Facebook page – ‘like’ the main page there and you’ll get to see new photo albums as we add them…eventually we suppose we’ll get to the point where there isn’t a building site behind the photographer!

Class glass

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

One of the joys of renovating in Morocco is the abundance of coloured glass. We are particularly loving the deep green and rich yellow of these windows, which we found at the junk market and have brought back to life…

Check out the splashback on that

Yes indeed, we’re at the point where we can start to show you the charming little details that will hopefully make the new flat a thing of beauty. We’re loving these antique tiles salvaged from a riad on Rue d’Agadir, set into mosaic in the 2nd floor kitchen…
