Best Destinations in Morocco


If you want to explore a city that holds diverse cultural relics, beautiful landscapes and ancient cities, Morocco can satisfy.

This country is culturally part of the Islamic world and at one point in time, also a part of the Roman one. For travelers to Morocco two of the preferred destinations are Casablanca and Marrakech, each holding its own uniqueness and Islamic adventure.

1. Casablanca is a combination of Art-Deco and Hispano-Mauresque style city, with the United Nations Square as the main center and attractions like the Hassan II Mosque.

2. Marrakech is visited for the Ourika River valley, the Draa River valley, and the Beni Mellal waterfalls in the Middle Atlas Mountains. A stroll down United Nations Square and then a trip to the Ourika River valley makes the trip innovative as well as adventurous and interactive.

Realism in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is indeed a great place for art lovers. Especially for those who have a great 'appetite' for avant-garde art which is spread mainly in Northern European countries. Dutch artists are well known worldwide since the Renaissance, and they managed to keep their reputation by creating a movement in the 20th century called 'magic realism'. The movement contributed widely in the history of art by adding to the world art gallery important figurative depicting scenes in a scenery that was both fantastic and mysterious.

To keep their heritage, modern Dutch artists and Amsterdam art galleries gather in a yearly fair that has been formally there since the year 2003 in Amsterdam. Every year at the middle of January the Realisme (Realism) art fair in Amsterdam is held and dedicated to the figurative art.

During this event, 30 important galleries from the Netherlands and also from the nearby Belgium show their collections of realistic art. Some free lectures are also being given in Dutch about realism and its impact in modern art. The fun thing is, if you are an ordinary visitor you can express yourself by painting! The organization of the fair gives a chance for all visitors to draw and paint in a realistic way!

Also, for each opening of the fair in Amsterdam there's a medal waiting for an artist! The jury selects one figurative artist each year to give him/her 'the medal of Ms. Sacha Tanja' who led for many years an important figurative art collection.
