It seems Looklex.com has expired. A useful source of information on Morocco and much more besides, is gone.

Yes, I also found it the other day, but thought it was temporary and Tore just updated it only. It is a great pity because there was not only about Morocco but also very interesting about other North African and even Arab countries. And also courses in Arabic, a little, where there.

I did not find this Looklex too interesting, I was not a regular reader and suspect I was not alone hence its discontinuation, on the few times I looked at it I thought the Rough Guide book was far more interesting if slightly slow to update its most recent editions, I helped out a bit by updating some of the more recent changes in Tangier and sending them off to the authors by email.

Another downside of Looklex was the resolution of the pages, they did not fit with ease into my miniscule ten inch netbook screen and I had to use the side arrows to read anything of mild interest.

So, no great loss in the Kaptain's little eccentric world.......

.... to be fair to Looklex, it started way back in the early 2000's I think, pioneering then in the early years of the Net, but left to wither on the vine since.
