This is the Koutoubia minaret in Marrakech. It is the city's most famous landmark. it is 70 meters high 230 feet).
















Spices are displayed at the souk (market) at Djemaa el Fna, the legendary city square in North Africa, and the largest outdoor market in the entire world!

Cinnamon, saffron, cumin, and many others.

Below are dates, figs and roasted peanuts.







At lunch on Sunday at the conference we had a full Moroccan feast, with traditional Moroccan dishes, including mechoui. The tajine is the clay vessel it is cooked in, with lots of vegetables. It is tender and very flavorful.

This is bastilla, a Moroccan pastry made with flour and water and egg, and served with ground almonds and honey and argon oil, which you can only get in the Southern part of Morocco.
