"Secrets and contrasts." Marrakesh by belgianchocolate

Marrakesh Travel Guide: 2,370 reviews and 5,323 photos

There is little I can tell you to prepare for an
experience like 'Marrakesh'.

CONTRASTS
between the old medina
and the modern parth of Guéliz. The traditional way
of making leather and the modern shopping centers...

SECRETS
can be found behind the thick red walls
in the city. A cemetary , palaces , tombs....
so many people living in little alleys...

The thing I can do ,
is telling you my experiences ,
how I lived the city.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A different world , palaces , the people , food...shopping
Cons:Begging , badgering , ....
In a nutshell:An experience without compare.

Great page on Marrakesh Frank - I too love getting lost in the souks, and I brought back some Ras el hanout from Morocco too. Lovely photographs as always.
