Commercial and oriental madness in MARRAKECH
“Yaay now we know how to return!”
It was true achievement when we learned how to get from the center of Marrakech medina (old town) back to the place we stayed in. I was so excited that I loudly denied a local boy’s request to help us with getting from that brown houses labyrinth. And it also had another reason – they do it for money.
However, it’s wonderful to walk through medina streets hiding several treasures. These are some of them:
.
Jemaa El Fna
.
.
I strictly refused to support “vendors” of animal photos – monkeys and snakes. They torture those poor animals for few dirhams (we saw one dragging a monkey tied around her neck through the square ground).
.
However, I totally recommend uplifting yourself (literally) on a nice terrace with view. Instead of Café Glacier with awful service and only about 5 drinks to choose from, where most of tourists head to watch sunset, I recommend nearby restaurant El Waha.

Medersa Ben Youssef
Apothecaries

On the way to medressa, there’s another interesting place – Herboriste des amis – herborist of friends. There are plenty of similar shops around, but this one really got me. A friendly shop assistant showed me this place, I could touch and smell everything I wanted and finally, he prepared tea for everybody.

Jardin Majorelle

Another beautiful garden

Are you bored from city rush? Visit parc Lalla Hasna near Kasbach. It’s a place of tranquility and nature beauty.
