how was the camel trek and what did you eat?
it was freezing at night, cool views in the morning, brought Pom meals, so had short ribs while the rest of the campers had some sort of dried out Berber chicken and Tangine

stored in the freezer at the "hotel" from which our camels left. Was only on the camel trek for one night, so no need to store.

Yes, never actually edited it for posting though. Maybe I'll just post the rough version.

Anyone know the Kashrus status of this place? https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293734-d9974757-Reviews-Dar_Ima-Marrakech_Marrakech_Tensift_El_Haouz_Region.html
No idea. Seems to be new though. You can email the rabbi in Casablanca. Hes very informed about the whole food situation.

I have her info if anyone needs.
I seem to recall hearing something about a restaurant opening but can't remember details.

The last review for this place was in November, so I'm guessing it's no longer around. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293734-d9974757-Reviews-Dar_Ima-Marrakech_Marrakech_Tensift_El_Haouz_Region.html

Does anyone know if an adapter for Israel will work in Morocco? I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what kind of plug adapter is needed.

Depends on the type of plug you are using. Moroccan outlets often have a ground pin sticking out - many Israeli plugs have the hole that lines up with the pin.

Casablanca is a regular city.

Go to Marrakesh (can arrange kosher food) & Fez to experience unique cities

Take a guide & get to know the berber people in the Atlas mountains
