As our run through Morocco progressed, we got more and more publicity. We got a nice media coverage in the national and local newspapers and TV and radio broadcasting in the main news. So, people who drove by were all the time honking and cheering us on. Our impression was that the World Harmony Run became like a national event for those eight days.

It was breathtaking to see the sincere and determined call of all the authorities, organizers and participants for oneness, brotherhood, tolerance and respect among all the cultures and nations of the world. The people of Morocco entirely won our hearts with their enthusiasm, spontaneity, smiling faces, generous selfgiving and unbelievable hospitality. It is a country with amazingly ancient, rich and religious culture.

We are not sure if we can wait one whole year to return to this marvellous country!

We thank each and every citizen of Morocco for everything that you shared with us during our wonderful journey through your exquisite homeland, and look forward to seeing you again.
