Sharjah is the fourth largest of the seven emirates in United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is next to Dubai. Due to its proximity to Dubai and lower cost of living, many expatriates choose to live in Sharjah and travel to Dubai for work daily. Sharjah was where I began my Six Emirates Tour in one day.
Morocco is the second country I visited in North Africa after Egypt. I travelled for about a week in Morocco. Here's how I planned my trip in Morocco.
Hassan II Mosque is an opulent mosque which is the landmark in Casablanca. The mosque was designed by French architect, Michel Pinseau, and took six years to build. Completed in 1993, it is the seventh largest mosque in the world and its minaret is the world's second tallest minaret at 210 meters. It can hold up to 105,000 worshippers - 25,000 inside the mosque hall and another 80,000 on the mosque's outside ground.
Marrakesh, also called the "Red City", is the fourth largest city in Morocco. The medina quarters is a UNESCO World Heritage site. If you only have one day in Marrakesh, this itinerary will work for you. While there is much to see and do, one full day is enough to cover a lot of ground in Marrakesh.
