From Fes it was a drive down to the coast to the capital of Morocco, Rabat, for a short stop and then to Casablanca.
Rabat looked a very attractive, neat and tidy, capital with some impressive buildings including a new football stadium.
We spent time in the small medina where I took these two photos.
Rabat is only an hour's drive north of Morocco's largest city, Casablanca and what a contrast. Casablanca is every bit a big city with a population of just over 3 million.
Despite its size and the fact that it is the major international gateway through the airport there are few tourist attractions in Casablanca and my advice is don't stay in the city any longer than necessary.
The one major attraction is the Hassan 2 Mosque, one of only two mosques in Morocco which non Muslims may enter.
It's an impressive building. See Hassan 2 Mosque
Here are my photos of it. They bring to an end the photos of my photo journey through Morocco. I just wish that I'd seen more. So many places and so little time.
