Tetouan, Morocco!

by jamiesno - last update: Dec 18, 2004

Dromadary Close Up

Quick Synopsis

I got to Tetouan as a chaperon for a small group of high school students who where on an EF Tour. The tour started in Madrid, Spain continued through Andalucia and we done a day trip over to Tetouan.

Here is this picture is my first encounter with a Dromadary! These close ups are hilarious I think. You can tell it is a dromadary versus a camel by the number of humps on the back.

If you are familiar with Camel Cigarettes for example. The logo on the pack is actually a Dromadary!

The Dromadary has just one hump versus two on a camel.

I hope you enjoy the rest of my photos from Morocco!
Me and the Dromadary!

Thoughts on Tetouan!

I spent a day in Tetouan and it was an eye opener to say the least. The arabic language barrier would have been insurmountable for me if I had been alone. I am told since that arabic is very hard to learn.

The streets where very narrow and lots of trade happening in the streets. The muslim characteristics were also a first for me making it much different.

The native dress was also very unique and you just felt like you stuck out like a sore thumb! If you were going to blend in here it would take some effort.

 Jamie, your visit put a lot into a day and you did well to show us the interesting places and markets. Not sure if I would venture into the bargaining situation. Great work.
