TV presenter, writer and adventurer Alice Morrison gives her own
unique and personal insight into Morocco, the place she's made her
home. When Alice Morrison headed out to Morocco, it was to take on
one of the most daunting challenges: to run in the famous Marathon
des Sables. Little did she expect to end up living there. But once
she settled in a flat in Marrakech, she was won over by the people,
the spectacular scenery and the ancient alleyways of the souks.
Soon she was hiking over the Atlas mountains, joining nomads to
sample their timeless way of life as they crossed the Sahara
desert, and finding peace in a tranquil oasis. Despite more than 10
million tourists coming to Morocco each year, there are remarkably
few books about its people, their customs and the extraordinary
range of places to visit, from bustling markets to vast, empty
deserts. Alice makes sure she samples it all, and as she does she
provides a stunning portrait of a beautiful country. As a lone
woman, she often attracts plenty of curiosity, but her willingness
to participate - whether thigh deep in pigeon droppings in a
tannery or helping out herding goats - ensures that she is welcomed
everywhere by a people who are among the most hospitable on the
planet. Alice came to fame with her BBC2 series Morocco to
Timbuktu, and now she joins the ranks of great travel writers who
can bring a country vividly to life and instantly transport the
reader to a sunnier place. If you're thinking of going to Morocco,
or you want to recall your time there, Adventures in Morocco is the
ideal book.
