My sister has told me some of the amazing adventures she has been on in the Sahara desert. One thing she has done that interests me is a camel tour. The Sahara desert is the largest hot desert in the world. It covers 3.5 million square miles. I also want to spend the night in the Sahara desert. My sister slept in a tent one night in the Sahara and said it was very cold. This is surprising because i always hear about how hot the desert is, but a lot of heat comes from the sun.

Atlas Mountains: One of my favorite activities is hiking. One mountain range I've always wanted to hike are the Atlas Mountains. I've heard from people that the views are incredible. The Atlas Mountains go for 1,600 miles across a few countries including Morocco. The Berber people have lived in the Atlas Mountains since 3000 B.C

Casablanca is a port city and commercial hub in Morocco. Casablanca is also Morocco's largest city. 3 million people live on the city which is on the western side of Morocco. My sister visited Casablanca which makes me want to go even more. She even brought me some souvenirs home from Casablanca.

Fes: Another city that interests me is Fes. Fes is famous for its Muslim art. Fes has over 100 mosques. The old city of Fes is connected with the new Fes but it's surrounded by a wall. One place i want to visit in Fes is the Bab Boujeloud gate]]> 2017-01-08 22:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145883077 Cultural Features jenna_stainback https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145883293 Marrakech Medina: This is one cultural feature that would turn into a very interesting trip. It is a place where street venders make a lot of business. A lot of tourists go here. There are a lot of street venders here and you can even find random acrobats doing amazing tricks. I have heard that it is very noisy and there are a lot of people at the Marrakech Medina.

Hassan II Mosque: This is one cultural feature i am amazed by. It is located in Casablanca. It is the largest mosque in Casablanca and thirteenth largest mosque in the world. It was finished in 1993 and cast 800 million dollars to build. The Hassan II Mosque was named after King Hassan II.]]> 2017-01-08 22:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145883293 Physical Map jenna_stainback https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145883775 http://maps.maphill.com/morocco/maps/physical-map/darken/darken-physical-map-of-morocco.jpg]]> 2017-01-08 22:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145883775 Political Map jenna_stainback https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145883941 https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/7f/c9/8d/7fc98d88459d6153fbe002a8a1975cb9.jpg]]> 2017-01-08 22:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145883941 Country flag jenna_stainback https://padlet.com/jenna_stainback/smm0o9jv9efs/wish/145886632 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Flag_of_Morocco.svg/255px-Flag_of_Morocco.svg.png Morocco's flag is all red with a green star in the middle.
