Day 8- to the airport, we leave really early must be around 2am as we get to France at 615.

So as you can see very hectic schedule but I am so psyched. Im brushing up on my arabic, just simple gretting also outfits to wear ie being a muslim country its good to respect their values, not too much exposed skin ect ect, also the art of haggling must be learnt. Iv read and also saw a hidden camera show on cruise ships, and when going to a gift shop a lot of the time you haggle with the person as to how much you pay. My friend who went to Morroco said it is the same thing over there and has given me some good tips, they key is to act confident,
