From our guide to Morocco
A petal-strewn bed, a pair of babouches to take you to the claw-footed copper bathtub, painted ceilings and almost Chinese-elaborate doors, a bowl of fresh fruit, a courtyard fountain to sing you to sleep...
Be prepared for contrast of all sorts, look forward to the unexpected and learn to trust those hooded figures - not sinister, just well protected against the contrasted and unpredictable elements. And decide from the start to take time. Morocco cannot be rushed. The country and the people are open to those who adapt to their rhythms and don't dash headlong from sightseeing to bracelet-buying to eating 'fast Moroccan'. Take the time to stand aside and watch. Look for patterns, gestures and expressions that reveal how things work, how people interact; you will relax, your senses of humour and humanity will take you inside the picture. Then you may fall for ever under the enchantment.
