Souk of Marrakech and other Marrakesh, Morocco Things to Do Tips

An incredible world is present at Marrakech's medina. You can walk and walk seeing or buying, getting lose ... time after time ... I am very bad at orientation so ... I lose my self one and other time ... and repeat the same streets when I did wanted to find different ones .. but ... after some hours I manage to control everything :))
I find the souk a wonderful place to walk in peace ... I was not disturb by sellers ... only sometimes ... "madam..." with a great smile in their faces ... a world of great colour and magic ...Each part of the medina is dedicated to a kind of commerce. You can find the part of medicines and herbs, a part of metals, one of carpets, of animals, of dry fruits, of laps… Every part has its own name. Some of them are covered and others at squares, some of them are very easy to get to, and others you will have to search for them to get to see them. A magic world made between narrowed little streets full of live and great sellers where you will find also little mosques and public baths.

Majorelle Gardens, as other fantastic places at Marrakec, is hidden by big walls that nothing does make you think that at that place you can find what is inside....
But this is a different place cause it doesn’t has thousands years of history. The part that I saw was a very simple house but painted bright colours that makes the place different of all that you have seen before, all surrounded by a big beautiful garden. There is a little museum that is not include with the price of the entrance.

At the entrance you will find a taxi stop.

Each room have ist own incredible work in arcs, ceiling, walls and floors ... One very special room is the favorite's room. She was not the favorite because it was really the favorite for the sultan ... but because she was the first to have given the sultan a boy. This woman was the only to have more than one member at her service, and the windows of her room had grates to protect her of the envies of the other women.
