Every Moroccan Lantern Is Unique



Moroccan lanterns come in a variety of different shapes, colors sizes and even materials. They offer a blend of elegance and antiquity that can give any room in your home a unique and exotic feel. Characteristics of every lantern differ, but detail comprises to create that exotic theme.

Colors
You’ll often see Moroccan lanterns designed using rich, deep colors ranging from reds and oranges to dark blues and greens. Some Henna lamps, which are a type of lantern created from goat skins, often have been colored with paprika and saffron dyes that add to its rustic look.

Textures
Moroccan lanterns are made from a variety of materials, including brass, metal, iron and glass. As mentioned before, goat skins are commonly used to create Henna lamps and lamp shades. Textured glass used for many lanterns also creates a softer light compared to non-textured glass.

Sconces
Sconces are another type of Moroccan lantern that lays flush on your wall. They are perfect for adding decorative and subtle lighting to a hallway, or perhaps a bathroom. Sconces can be made from glass or, like Henna lamps, with goat skins.

Lanterns
Lantern style lamps are made from stained glass and deeply tinted, often with decorative textures. They often elude elaborate shadows and patterns that add a special ambiance to the room.

My best trip to Merzouga Morocco



  During my summer vacation in Morocco, we went to Merzouga in the far east of Morocco not too far from the Algerian border. We could not travel in car since it was too far, we took the tour bus during the night through the city Rissani and Rachidia. We made arrangement to spend the night in the dessert . We made it to the rolling dunes by sunset and were on our camels, it was a very exiting ride. all through the trip i kept asking our young guide if he knew the way to the tent camp , i kept thinking about getting lost in the desert without food plus it was getting late.  ounce we get there in the dark,  I was very reveled .

  Sitting out side under the stars, we were served a tagine with home made bread and mint tea. Since it was hot we decided to sleep outside with no fear. oh yeah all those crawling insect and wild creator. We woke up earlier than the sun , so we can catch a sunrise on our way back in a perfect spot in the middle of Sahara.
The night was one of the best vacation days in my life.
