Morocco Tour March 21, 2011

I will take a private group tour with Abdou who lives in Taroudant, Morocco, next month.

In response to a question about possible instability and protests affecting our tour, he gave this reply:


"All is safe here, and as much as Moroccans want to bring a good change to Morocco, they stand united against any attempts to change the regime. We love the king and every one agrees about this.

There has been some talking about another peaceful demonstration late April, but nothing confirmed. Morocco however is different from other Arab countries and the people enjoy more freedoms so peaceful demonstrations are nothing new. The monarchy is also 12 centuries old and Moroccans care for this institution. Only concern we have is that there are always trouble-makers that would get in the middle of a peaceful march and make things look awful.'' Abdou
