Morocco - half is seawater, half is desert.

Morocco, a land blessed by heaven, a country that makes people worry, the dusty Sahara Desert, the faint nostalgia of Sanmao's past life, Casablanca that came out of the movie, and a fairy tale world by the Mediterranean Sea. Marrakech~ Marrakech is located in the south of Morocco and is known as the "Southern Pearl" of Morocco. This largest earthen city in the world is the most prosperous tourist destination and party paradise for young people in North Africa. Marrakech is divided into the old city and the new city. The historic and culturally rich Medina is wrapped in a thick 10-kilometer city wall and is also the most popular gathering place for tourists. The sunset in Marrakech always makes people intoxicated. The afterglow turns the minarets of the Koutoubia Mosque into golden, and the golden sunlight kisses the pink mud bricks of the city walls until they turn deep red. However, the melancholy sunset is not the protagonist. Just like every night for the past 1000 years, the wonderful performances staged in Jemaa el-Fnaa Square are already in full swing~

Marrakech Trip

Marrakech is amazing city to visit . Love the vibes and people are so nice and friendly. Just be aware in the night as it’s quite difficult to walk around specially in Medina area . Overall my trip was amazing and don’t forget to buy a ticket with check in lugage because you might want to shop specially leather good because they are very cheap . And negotiate the price before you buy 😁#2023TravelWish #marrakesh #MyTripVlog #morocco

The wild Morocco

Morocco is a country that surprised me totally. It’s way more modern and wealthy than I knew before or what people told me about it. Transportation is easy going - you can either take busses, local trains, or even petit taxis. And all for normal prices without big worries. Every city has its own specialty and traditions. Marrakech is definitely busy and touristy, a must see but probably not the best option to stay for a long time if you’re looking for a calm place. On top of all, the south is covered with the Sahara and offers a lot of options for desert tours and ways to explore. Highly recommended!#morocco

Marrakech is a city of beauty and history, the old city of doors. Indeed, it is a very beautiful city and the scent of history is everywhere

When in Morocco

Morocco is a country with rich culture, this can be seen in a local artisan community with workshops scattered throughout the medina where men and women bring tjeir crafts to life. using traditional tools and methods, souvenirs from Marrakech are really one of a kind. We bought some wonderful rugs that have really cool fabrics, there are other interesting items that can be bought there like argan oil, spices, colorful lanterns, and babouche slippers. There is also a coffee shop that we passed by that really serves a great coffee, the ambiance is very spectacular and the coffee is really good. They have selections of coffee from more than 40 countries. Morocco is full of architectural wonders, just by looking around i feel relaxed. My eyes wonders the picturesque town and colorful walls of the city. I

Life in the City Wall

The Medina old town is an old Islamic capital originating from the 11th century. It is enclosed by 16km of ramparts and gates. It attracts several people from different parts of the world. Because of its historical sites, colourful markets, and stately houses identified as Riads. A maze of narrow streets and magical souks, its cobblestone streets are traversed by donkeys, pedestrians and motorcycles, and had changed very little since they were first laid out. People live and work in the Medina, there are residences, school, mosque, hammam, museum, and souks selling copper, leather, carpets and many more. The medina of Marrakech was inscribed on the World Heritage list in 1985 due to its impressive collection of monuments.

This little square with all those amazing carpets in old Marrakech Medina and cushions and many other cute things made me want to have a stable home

Mystique of Marrakech's Medina

Immerse yourself in the vibrant heart of Marrakech by exploring its ancient Medina, a bustling and historic district filled with narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and an array of sensory experiences. The Medina of Marrakech isn't just a place to visit; it's a foray into a lively, centuries-old cultural tapestry. As you navigate through the labyrinthine alleys, you'll be greeted by the rich scents of spices, the colorful displays of textiles, and the resonant sounds of the local artisans at work. Each turn in the Medina unveils something new – from ornate mosques and traditional riads to bustling souks selling everything from leather goods to handcrafted jewelry. Key attractions include the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, recognizable by its towering minaret, and the vibrant Jemaa el-Fnaa, the central square where snake charmers, storytellers, and musicians create a lively atmosphere. As night falls, the square transforms into a huge open-air dining area, offering an array of delicious Moroccan street food. A tip for visitors: while it's easy to get lost in the Medina, that's part of the charm. Don't be afraid to wander off the beaten path. However, be respectful of local customs and dress modestly. Haggling in the souks is expected, so embrace it as part of the experience. The Medina of Marrakech is more than a historical site; it's a living, breathing part of the city that offers an authentic glimpse into Moroccan life. Whether you're shopping for souvenirs, soaking up the history, or just wandering around, the Medina promises an unforgettable experience. #MarrakechMedinaMagic #MoroccanMarketMaze #CulturalCrossroads #2024wish #falltrip#mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks

The city of red

Marrakech, the second largest city in Morocco, is known as the passionate 'city of red'. The old city of Marrakech is the largest earthen city in the world. The old city is full of Arab characteristics, with all houses in bright red. The entire block is filled with warmth and vastness because of this warm red color. The roads in the old city are winding and complex, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful. Walking around the old city, wandering around the old streets, the blocks are crisscrossed, shops are lined up, one after another, making people dazzled. Each shop has different things, all kinds of leather and fabrics are hung on the wall, colorful and very beautiful, which complements the brick-red tone of the entire city. Walking through the streets and alleys of the old city, you can deeply feel the strong Arab style.

Cities to visit: Marrakesh 🇲🇦

One of my favourite cities ever<3! Marrakesh, a former imperial city in western Morocco, is a major economic center and home to mosques, palaces and gardens. The medina is a densely packed, walled medieval city dating to the Berber Empire, with mazelike alleys where thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery and jewelry. #familytravel #celebratewithtrip #morocco

full day trip from Marrakech & atlas Mountain

Come with me or with my Friend Lahcen to discover all most popular treks .Meet in Imlil (1,740m), set in the upper level foothills of the Western High Atlas mountains, a main trailhead with streams and paths branching out in all directions. Here you will leave your vehicle to take a welcome glass of mint tea in the village and chat with you prior to setting out for some 15kms excursion. towards the south to the Berber village of Azzaden valley via Tizi Mazik Mountain pass 2489m, passing the hamlets of Arghen, Mazik, up and down the stark slopes, the jagged Western High Atlas peaks of the Toubkal Massif before us - Jbels Aguelzim (3,547m), Aksouâl (3,847m) and the Adrar Adj (3,122m) watching us all the way.There will be a stop at Tizi oussem village to visit this rather singular village in the Assif Aït ouazzaden Valley, built seemingly house upon house on a large moraine spur, overlooking ancient irrigated terraced fields of barley, corn and vegetables and always surrounded by almond and walnut trees. The trek then continues for another half hour until the stop for the lunch it can be an option which my be served among a berber familly in the village of Idissa. After lunch you set off back .

Marrakech, One Thousand and One Nights at Djemaa el Fna Square

European tourists always say that business people go to Casablanca and vacationers go to Marrakech in Morocco, because all your imaginations about Morocco are in Djemaa el Fna Square in Marrakech. I am one of those who carry such imagination. Shouts, music, arguments, drums - these are the sounds of Marrakech. Perhaps the One Thousand and One Nights is indeed as noisy and entangled as the human world, where people, in order to survive in the desert and scorching sun, hone their lives into a fierce drama. I watched the dramas unfolding vividly beneath my feet and was deeply moved by Marrakech. Love it or hate it, life is still a struggle, like the cactus in the Sahara.

Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Marrakech, Morocco.

Listed in the World Heritage Site, the ancient city of Marrakech has streets crisscrossing, dotted with small stalls, handicraft workshops, and small restaurants. Donkeys carrying goods clatter through the streets, women wearing headscarves and men wearing long robes, and the deep chanting of the mosque tower... Tourists seem to travel through thousands of years, and the ancient times unfold slowly like a scroll. Walking into the Ali Ben Youssef Medersa, you forget the hustle and bustle of the market and the yellow mud walls of the streets, and a quiet, peaceful, and exquisite Islamic-style courtyard appears before your eyes. The finely carved stone and wood carvings on the walls are amazing, symmetrical and meticulous, without the gorgeous stained glass windows and murals of Christian churches, but they show the skills and wisdom of the craftsmen of the time. Traveling and visiting many religious places, I learned that only Islamic temples have carvings without figures or animals, mostly geometric shapes or Arabic characters, simple and elegant. Many places around are decorated with blue-green tiles, typical of Muslim architecture. There is a water pool in the middle of the first floor, which is the place where Muslims wash before chanting. The main attraction for us non-Muslim tourists is to appreciate the exquisite ancient architecture and take beautiful photos with light and shadow. Al-Azhar Mosque and University was founded in the 14th century and is one of the largest and most magnificent theological schools in North Africa, where students from all over the world study scripture. The small rooms on the second floor are narrow and may have been used as a place for students to read and meditate. Stepping into these small rooms leaves one with endless imagination. Tourists peering out the windows have become a picturesque scene for photography. The Theological Institute is located near the Marrakech Museum, and one hour is enough for a visit. Admission tickets are required for visiting the Theological Institute. It is recommended to go early in the morning to avoid crowds and better experience its mystery and majesty. Locals call the Theological Institute "SCHOOL", and it is easy for tourists to find.

The colors of Marrakech

can’t get enough of those colors, so vibrant so powerful! can’t wait to go back again 🧡 #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #tripblazers #marrakech

Lost in a Maze

#celebratewithtrip The medina in Marrakech is unbelievable. Terracotta houses and shops line a claustrophobic labyrinth of streets filled with tourists, vendors, cars, scooters, donkeys, camels. Getting lost in the tangled web of the Marrakech medina is far too easy..The whole place is like a maze , everywhere I walk look the day .The street m of market stands seemed to stretch on forever, each one as enticing as the last. The experience was not only expected and welcomed but also overwhelming (I should have engage a guide) Over here there are countless of shop somehow I wonder how can they have enough customers to operate. But one thing for sure remember to bargain on the price as they tend to mark up the price a lot . #fallingforfall #tripblazers

Restaurant Ksar El Hamra, if you stopped in Marrakech I would recommend a dinner at Ksar El Hamra Restaurant.

Exotic style: Morocco must play the city Raiders Speaking of the favorite country, Morocco is definitely one of them, colorful and colorful as if God's overturned palette, people can not forget to stop. The most classic cities are Marrakech, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Sahara and Fez. They are almost a must-see for every visitor, and their route is very smooth. Back to Marrakech, the perfect route! Marrakech - Rabat - Chefchaouen - Sahara Desert - Fez Marrakech has a civilian color, also has ysl noble blue, There are also many horse-drawn carriages in Marrakech, and a large part of them are for tourists. Spend a small amount of money to travel around the New Town in a carriage (remember to bargain in the dead!) and freshly squeezed juice! Super recommended! ! A glass of orange juice is only 4 yuan rmb, and their orange juice is particularly good, I drink 2 cups a day in Morocco. Marrakesh's other highlight is the Bahia Palace, which is also my super favorite palace, exquisite carvings, deep and tortuous, and another must-have place is the back garden of ysl Saint Laurent. Originally thought to be a small garden, it was amazing! Every scene can take a good-looking film, and it takes 3 or 4 hours to take a photo. It is too late to punch each place. Rabat Because of the redness of Chefchaouen, the capital of Rabats old town is very quiet. In fact, the colors and streets of these two places are very similar. Lets go first. In the old town of Rabat, no one was very comfortable in the morning. It is recommended to get up early to enjoy the life of the locals. Heavy! Chefchaouen recommended by many travel magazines! The car drove to the middle of the mountain, looking at the psychedelic blue of the hill and could not help but exclaim, finally came to this blue mountain city. But excited to be excited, remember not to take pictures of women in the city, this is their taboo thing, otherwise the foreign countries will not be allowed to do anything oh ~ sneak shots, many of them will be surrounded by locals. In order to chase the footsteps of the Sahara desert, we set off at 4 in the morning, and we were so tight that we couldnt stop eating the mouthful of sand, but when you sat in the Sahara When the desert looks at the sun jumping over the horizon, you will feel that everything is worth it! Fiss is probably the largest maze in the world. The small urban area has more than 6,000 paths, some of which are narrow enough to accommodate the next person. Fes is also a city I particularly like. In retrospect, I feel that it is like life. There is always an unknown waiting for you, and it is always worth taking risks. Now you don't need a visa to go to Morocco, it is more convenient to say go and go, it is very recommended to travel around Morocco in these cities, you will definitely fall in love with this beautiful country.

The red city of Marrakech is brick red Marrakech, the entire city is brick-and-red building, the old town has many alleys, walking through the streets, walking and taking pictures, everywhere are photographed Good point, Morocco is a country that is suitable for taking pictures.

Safi is one of the oldest cities in Morocco, and the Portuguese fort built in the fifteenth century was preserved intact. hides gentleness and enthusiasm, quiet blue and gentle yellow goose, which constitutes my entire memory of Safi. The owner of the roadside hand shop took a group photo with us, and then took a cup of Moroccan mint tea sitting in a small shop on the street, watching the crowds and the sea in the distance. It is a small friend who loves literature and art. city of.

Marrakech, an inland city with a desert climate, as the former imperial capital of the empire, this city at the foot of the Atlas Mountains is rich in natural resources and has many monuments. It was once a famous fortress and was called " The pearl of the south." Marrakesh is the first stop of this Moroccan trip, and it is also the favorite city. It has the color of civilians and the blue of ysl. The time is too tight, making full use of it. Heaven is still unfinished. took some local fruits and vegetables, tea pottery and spices that I saw at the market. The colors are super beautiful and very local. Although it is not clear why they are used, but look I feel very pleasing.

In Marrakech, it is not only the sleepless square that can experience the local nightlife, but also the other scenes of Marrakech's local nightlife in ChezAli. ChezAli is located on Safi Road, 14 km from the city centre. The Moroccan folk performances here showcase traditional songs and dances, and you can enjoy these traditional performances while eating. The actors of each ethnic group in the locality will perform here. If you are interested, you can hit the instrument with the enthusiastic people and dance with the beautiful music.

Marrakech, the ancient city of Morocco, is famous for its redness and is one of the most important ancient capitals in the history of Morocco. Although it is located on the edge of the desert, the climate is mild, the trees are lush, the flowers and fruit are flourishing, and it is famous for its numerous places of interest and secluded gardens. It is known as the Pearl of Southern Morocco. Like many North African cities, Marrakech consists of an ancient fortress city and a neighbouring modern city.
