Senator David Norris, writer Victoria Mary Clarke, Crystal Swing’s Derek Burke, singer Dana, comedienne Alison Spittle and Olympian David Gillick show us the highlights of Morocco in Celebrity Globetrotters, a new six part travel series which starts on RTÉ One on Thursday 14th March at 8.30pm.
In each episode one celebrity takes the lead, bringing their fellow travellers on their chosen itinerary. So will they all get on or will sparks fly?
From the lofty Atlas Mountains to coastal Casablanca with stops in Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fez and Berber villages along the way, the celebrities take to the skies in a hot air balloon, haggle in the souks, enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine and take part in local entertainment as they make their way through the kingdom.
Episode 1 of 6
First up, it’s Senator David Norris whose natural enthusiasm for Marrakesh shines through as they embark on a walking tour of the city starting at the Koutobia Mosque, before stopping off to see the famous Yves Saint Laurent Majorelle Gardens and shopping for carpets. In the evening time it all changes as they enjoy a caleche ride meeting snake charmers and eating sheep’s brains!
