Couscous And The City: Hollywood loves Morocco


Now in the cinema, Carrie & Co's Moroccan adventure in Sex And The City 2. Sex And The City 2: The upcoming sequel is set two years after we last saw Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends and brings the girls out of their beloved New York on a trip of Morocco.
Little has been given away about the plotline, but the film will definitely include a wedding and perhaps a baby for an unlikely mother. Apparently happily married to husband Mr Big (Chris Noth), it is not known why Carrie decides to abandon him for a girlie trip to Marrakech with Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon).

Exotic: Sarah Jessica Parker is back as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City 2 as the four friends take a break from New York in the equally bustling souks of Marrakech. For their exotic trip to North Africa, the foursome are seen enjoying walking through the dunes of the Sahara Desert, lunching under the shade of a Bedouin tent and partying alongside belly dancers in a local nightclub.

In these new photos from the film, Charlotte appears to be revelling in being a housewife as she carries two-year-old daughter Rose - who was born in the climax of the first film - while baking cupcakes.
Despite turning 50 in the last film, it appears age hasn't diminished Samantha's love of tight-fitting clothes as she is seen dashing across a busy Manhattan street in a revealing little black dress.

Carrie and her best friends (L-R) Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon) stroll through the Sahara Desert.

SEX AND THE CITY 2: Dining in style: The four woman quaff flutes of champagne in the unlikely setting of a Bedouin tent in the middle of the Sahara desert. The only single member of the group, Samantha will come into contact with ex live-in lover Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis) again in the sequel, prompting speculation they may give their romance another try.
She also finds a new love interest in the shape of English actor Max Ryan, who plays a suave character called Rikard. Teen star Miley Cyrus also has a brief cameo in the film, after she turns up to a premiere of Smith's movie wearing the same designer dress as a horrified Samantha. Rocking the Kasbah: The Sex And The City girls hit the nightclubs on Marrakech.

As well as potentially settling down, there is speculation Samantha - who turned 50 in the last movie - may be going through 'the change'.

Also among the rumoured plotlines for the sequel is Carrie's marriage to Mr Big will run into trouble, including the mogul suffering into financial problems as a result of the current economic crisis.

Also back for the sequel is Miranda's husband Steve Brady (David Eigenberg), Charlotte's husband Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler) and the girls' gay friends Anthony Marantino (Mario Cantone) and Stanford Blatch (Willie Garson).

Fashionable friends: The new film will feature coveted designer clothes, including a white Halston jersey dress worn by Carrie

Among the stars making cameo appearances in this year's movie include Penelope Cruz, Liza Minnelli and British-Iranian comedian Omid Djalili, who plays a Moroccan hotel owner.

The first Sex And The City movie saw Carrie and Mr Big finally tie the knot in City Hall after the commitment-phobe jilted her at the altar of a lavish over-the-top ceremony at the New York Public Library.

The first film was well received with both critics and audiences and grossed $412million in worldwide box office.

Agadir: Fine Cuisne

Moroccan cuisine and unfussy. Dishes have envolved from Persia via the Arabs . From Andalucia with the returning Moors and from the colonial French but the overrriding principle is to throw all the ingredients into a dish and then leave it to cook slowly . Prime exhibit is the national dish of tajine. it's essentially a slow-coooked stew of meat (usually lamb or chicken ) and vegetables ,with olives tangy preserved lemon, almonds or prunesprunes employed for flavouring .The name describes both the food and pot it's cooked in-a shallow earthen ware dish with conical lid that traps the rising steam and stops the stew from drying out .

The other defining local staple is couscous ,which is again the name of the basic ingredient (coarse-ground semolina flour ) and of the diush ; the slow-cooked grains are topped witha rich meat or vegetables stew ,not unlike that of a tajine , it's full meal ,not a side dish . Don't expect a menu in most traditional Moroccan restaurants, including many places ,once customers are seated the food simply arrives .First thing will be a selection of small hot and cold dishes,called salad moroccaine , actually carrots ,peppers, aubergine, tomatoes and the like ,each prepared differently s well as diced sheep brains and chopped liver , next briouettes -little envolopes of paper-thin ouarka (filo) pastry wrapped around ground meat, rice or cheese and deep friend, next pastilla (or b'stilla )which is ouarka pastry filled with shredded pigeon or chicken , almonds ,boiled egg and spices.

Agadir Travel: The city of Agadir

Agadir is a city in southwest Morocco. The city is located on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Agadir is an important fishing and commercial port. It is also a famous seaside resort with a long sandy beach. Algeria borders Morocco to the east and southeast though the border between the two countries has been closed since 1994. There are also four Spanish enclaves on the Mediterranean coast: Ceuta, Melilla, Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, Peñón de Alhucemas, and the Chafarinas islands, as well as the disputed islet Perejil. Off the Atlantic coast the Canary Islands belong to Spain, whereas Madeira to the north is Portuguese. To the north, Morocco is bordered by and controls part of the Strait of Gibraltar, giving it power over the waterways in and out of the Mediterranean sea. The Rif mountains occupy the region bordering the Mediterranean from the north-west to the north-east. The Atlas Mountains run down the backbone of the country, from the south west to the north east. Most of the south east portion of the country is in the Sahara Desert and as such is generally sparsely populated and unproductive economically. Most of the population lives to the north of these mountains, while to the south is the desert. To the south, lies the Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony that was annexed by Morocco in 1975 (see Green March). Morocco claims that the Western Sahara is part of its territory and refers to that as its Southern Provinces.
