Chicken bastilla is Morocco's famous chicken pie. The description of what this delicious dish contains might sould strange to you, but it is something you should definitely try in Morocco or at a Moroccan restaurant abroad. Bastilla contains a mixture of savory chicken or seafood filling inside a light, crispy pastry shell. Cinnamon and powdered sugar are dusted on top to turn this into a sweet and savory combination of flavors. Have you tried bastilla? You can also find a recipe online to make this dish at home if you are feeling adventurous!

""What have we gotten ourselves into?” I asked myself as our car scraped the rocks beneath us. We were traversing a dried river bed in search of our lodging for the night, and my mind was racing to the reaction of the rental car company when we returned the car in a few days. “How much is it going to cost if we total the vehicle?” I continued wondering.

I was driving a Toyota Yaris hybrid with automatic transmission in the outskirts of Skoura. Four of us were packed into the vehicle as part of our week-long trek to the desert in Merzouga.

Earlier in the day we had crossed the mountains from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, enjoying the majestic views along the route. N9 had been our principal road for the start of the day, until we branched off to P1506 in search of Aït-Ben-Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been used as a setting in various films. I wasn’t sure what to expect from highway N9, but soon after leaving Marrakech I discovered a winding, two-lane road through the Atlas Mountains. In some spots, it was evident that construction crews had recently laid pristine new pavement. In other areas, I maneuvered through active construction zones on dusty, rocky soil. Once we arrived at the intersection between P1506 and N9 we had a decision to make."

Learning a new language provides a new and unique perspective on the world around you. At the same time, it fosters empathy and understanding for others. Language is more than words. It's a lens that shapes cultural values and experiences. In the words of Federico Fellini: "A different language is a different vision of life."

Wanting to travel to Rabat? Here are some things we recommend!
1. The Kasbah of the Udayas. Overlooking the river and the sea, these steps have been shown in many Hollywood films, and the inside of the Kasbah showcases blue-and-white painted buildings
2. Mohammed V Mausoleum. Across from the Hassan Tower, this mausoleum contains the remains of King Mohammed V and his two sons, Hassan II and Prince Abdallah.
3. Royal Palace. The primary residence of the King, there is an extensive grounds and gardens surrounding the palace. While you are not able to enter, you are able to see the outside.
4. Chellah Castle. One of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Rabat enclosed by a kilometer long Marinid wall, it is thought to be a living testament to Morocco history and the evolution of civilization throughout the ages.

Today, a public holiday in Morocco takes place. Known as Throne day (or Feast of the Throne), Moroccans celebrate the day of King Mohammed VI’s formal accession to the throne. The celebration has taken place as early as 1933 when Mohammed V was king. As new kings have taken the throne, the date for this celebration changes to match when they were officially enthroned. During this day, there will be an official gathering at the royal palace and a televised speech.
