From her dazzling royal palaces and ancient medinas to the awe-inspiring Sahara and rugged Atlas Mountains, this is a land that delights the senses. Accompanying us is Josephine Berger-Nadler, known for her lively and popular talks on the Metropolitan’s collections of Islamic, Southeast Asian and ancient Near Eastern art. She has traveled extensively in North Africa and is very pleased to be returning with us to Morocco to share her enthusiasm for the country’s rich culture. The imperial cities of Rabat and Fes, as well as enchanting Marrakesh, are the focus of this program. We begin in Morocco’s capital, Rabat, encircled by 8th-century pink stone ramparts that survive to this day. Following two nights at the elegant Sofitel Jardin des Roses, we travel on to Fes, stopping en route to visit the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, whose forum and Arch of Caracalla still tower over the plain.

  • VIP Incentive Marrakech
    Top 5 Reasons To Choose Marrakech As An Incentive Destination! 1. A cultural experience, a short flight away! Marrakech is a city with an exotic feel, excitement and culture despite being just a 2.5-hour flight from the Europe. This makes it a reasonably priced, easily accessible and excellent incentive destination. 2. Premium hotels Marrakech offers excellence in hotel choice from La Mamounia, to the Four Seasons and the stunning 5* Royal Palm Hotel. 3. Food, glorious food Exotic cuisine meets superior quality. Marrakech certainly has a number of quality venues like Palais Soleiman, Palais Jad Mahal & Palm Grove. 4. When in Marrakech, experience Marrakech From cultural to adrenaline to unique, Marrakech has it all and more. We offered experiences such as hot-air ballooning, a horse-drawn carriage tour, a full day must-see Marrakech tour, Hammam party, Moroccan gastronomy, Marrakech desert sightseeing and many others. 5. Weather in Marrakech With its minimal rainfall, Marrakech is a magical place for a holiday whatever the season. Winter is bright and crisp, while autumn brings delicious fresh produce into the markets. Spring sees the Atlas Mountains covered in flowers, while the city’s red-hot summers can be offset by a day-trip to the sandy coast. • Visas Americans, Canadians & Western Europeans don’t need a visa to enter Morocco for the purpose of tourism for up to 3 months. When entering the country, make sure your passport is stamped. Some tourists have experienced difficulties leaving the country because their passport bears no entry stamp. • Passport validity Yo u r passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay in Morocco.

The Museum felt this research was necessary because it wants to enhance its reach and relevance to people of the African diaspora (beyond those who identify themselves as African American): The main purpose of this audience research project is to illuminate the perceptions of diverse African diasporic audiences in order to meaningfully engage with them and offer them a fulfilling visitor experience at the Smithsonian’s newest museum…1 Therefore, audience research was warranted because little is known about the likely perceptions of diverse black audiences in relation to a museum experience about African American history and culture.

  • Marrakech of Marrakesh – Gideon Lewis-Kraus
    Higher Atlas / Au-delà de l’Atlas – The Marrakech Biennale [4] in Context Marrakech of Marrakesh – Gideon Lewis-Kraus Marrakech from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia … known as the “Ochre city,” or the “Red city,” or the “Pink city,” depending on which guidebook you’re using, is the most important former imperial city in Morocco’s history. The city of Mar- rakech lies near the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. It is the second-largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca. Like many North African cities, the city of Marrakech comprises both an old fortified city (the médina) and an adjacent modern city (called Gueliz) for a total population of 1,070,000. This Wikipedia page was accessed various times over the course of October and November 2011. Accord- ing to a wide array of local sources, the city’s population is approximately twice what Wikipedia claims it to be. Have you noticed the growth here? Enormous half-built luxury communities sprawl to the northeast, the east, the south. It is served by Ménara International Airport (IATE code: RAK) and a rail link to Casa- blanca and the north. On the train to Casablanca, I sat next to a middle-aged tourist guide in a rumpled black suit over an almost threadbare cream turtleneck. He wore knock-off designer eye- glasses, and was headed to Casablanca to meet a group of American tourists: he would take them around Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Meknès, and finishing in Marrakech, where they would go shop- ping. He’d been out of work for eleven years until he started his own business as a guide.

The one problem was that the binding of this paperback book came apart so that the back cover came off Living in Morocco : Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh. Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh is an exhilarating combination of vivid sensuality and intense spirituality, an intoxicating blend of cultures. Berber, Arab, French, English, and Spanish: the country's rich mixture of heritages is matched by its geography, which ranges from coast to mountain to desert. This revised edition of Living in Morocco celebrates the indigenous arts of a country at the height of a cultural renaissance. Morocco is known for fine leather and for pottery that dates back a thousand years. Berber rugs are justly famous, and there is a thriving tradition of woodworking, especially in the native thuya wood. Most extraordinary, though, is Morocco's decorative painting and tilework, where, forbidden Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh religion to depict human figures, craftsmen have developed a vocabulary of pattern and ornament. The book is filled with brightly colored ceilings, decorated courtyards and walls, plaster of Paris carved and painted in intricate geometrics, tiles so small that could fit in a matchbox. Lavishly illustrated chapters on decorative and folk arts alternate with chapters on Moroccan life today.

  • Lime (Citrus Aurantifolia L.) Juice a Potent Treatment for the Virulent Hepatocarcinogen Aflatoxin B1 in Peanut Paste
    Journal of Molecular Pathophysiology www.scopemed.org 10.5455/jmp.20160413111838 Original Research DOI: Lime (Citrus aurantifolia L.) Juice a potent treatment for the virulent hepatocarcinogen aflatoxin B1 in peanut paste Esameldin Bashir Mohamed Kabbashi1 , Salah Eldeen Abbas Ali2 , Nawal Abdelgayoum Abdelrahman1 ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed at providing a method for elimination of aflatoxin B1 in peanut paste using a natural product. This is of importance given that the occurrence of aflatoxins is generally unavoidable in spite of the use of protective methods, including use of natural products, during storage. Background: Aflatoxins are fungal toxins and products of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus and other less important aspergilli. They include B aflatoxins (B1, being the most potent hepatocarcinogen known, and B2) which are produced by both species and aflatoxins G (G1 and G2) that are produced by A. parasiticus and aflatoxin M1 and Q1 metabolites of B1 and aflatoxin M2 metabolite of Aflatoxin B2.
