Buying a Home in Morocco

Buying a Home in Morocco. Buying a Home in Morocco. How far is the house from a road which is accessible by car? As I sit here, staring out into a sun-drenched courtyard filled with fruit-laden trees, with the sound of water trickling from a mosaic fountain, I can’t help by congratulate myself for following my dream. There have been highs and lows, but the secret has been to keep going, to search for the best artisans, but beyond all else, to believe strongly in a dream. Written for Easyjet's Magazine).

Tahir Shah, Biography

Tahir Shah, Biography. Tahir Shah, Biography. Tahir Shah is the author of ten books, chronicling a wide range of unusual and outlandish journeys. For him, there is nothing so important as deciphering the hidden underbelly of the lands in which he travels. He shuns well-trodden tourist paths, and avoids celebrated landmarks, preferring instead to position himself in a dusty café and observe life go by. He lives in Casablanca with his wife and two small children. Posted by Mangorains at 10:06 AM.

The Caliph's House, Tahir's Notes

The Caliph's House, Tahir's Notes. The Caliph's House, Tahir's Notes. I think that a good story comes out of a struggle. It has to be earned, lived, experienced. That's why THE CALIPH'S HOUSE is special for me. It was crafted out of hardship and dire uncertainty. and as far as I am concerned, a story written from the heart takes on a life of its own.

Ghost Busters of Casablanca

Ghost Busters of Casablanca. Ghost Busters of Casablanca. Two nights ago I went down to the dogs.

There wasn’t anything unusual about it, as I was at the greyhound races held nightly in Casablanca’s famous Art Deco Velodrome. Muslims believe that when God created Man from clay, He also fashioned another species from smokeless fire. Known...
