Morocco What I Know

Ms Treacy is traveling! The journey to Morocco began this morning and will end tonight in 
Palais DarOuladna,  Marrakech.

The itinerary for the next 3 weeks is as follows :
Palais DarOuladna 2 nights
Busabout Imperial Cities Tour 10 days
Surf Berbere: Surf & Yoga 8 days
And the last 2 nights are open to suggestions I gather along the way.

My guidebook of choice is as always the
Lonely Planet.  What I know so far about Morocco courtesy of the Lonely Planet is:

1. Muslim country.
2. "Dry" country. ie No alcohol served except in international hotels and some supermarkets.
3. No bacon/pork.
4. Running water came to the Taghazout beach area in 2010!!
5. People dress modestly.  For women it's important to cover shoulders and knees.
6. Mint tea is the main tea /drink
7. Morocco is home of the Sahara desert
8. It is currently Ramadan,  the Muslim period of fasting and prayer before Eid.
9. The currency is Dirham
10. The main language is Arabic. Berber is spoken in rural areas and a lot of French is spoken in the cities.
