Moroccan cities like Marrakech, Fez, and Meknes overload one's senses with impressions: mazes of narrow alleyways, in which artisans in tiny niches tinker at silver platters, lead past mosque entrances adorned with complex ornamental tiles. The smell of saffron and cumin ascend from the stands of herbal vendors; the taste of mint tea that the merchant poured before haggling for a "good price" for his carpets, still lingers in one's mouth. The cultural mix of Arabs, Berbers, and the many traces of French and Portuguese colonial rule makes Morocco the ideal vantage point to explore all of northern Africa. The largest Moroccan cities are easily reached by train - from Tangier, near the Strait of Gibraltar, the train leads through the royal headquarters of Rabat and the metropolis of Casablanca all the way to Marrakech; a train leads eastward via Fez all the way to Algeria. In the country's interior, a bus service provides access to the Atlas Mountains, old castles (casbahs), and the city of Ouarzazate, which has served as the backdrop of many Hollywood productions. The mounted city of Essaouira is the highlight of the Atlantic coast.
