Magnetically Magical Marrakesh

by sunlovey - last update: Jun 1, 2006

A place so full of life and sensory overload...

Taking in Djemma el Fna through scrolling ironwork
The sounds, the scents, the sights and of course the tastes, they continue to flood my thoughts and I want to be back there. My pictures and tips can do this place no justice. But I will try...
our 1st photo in Marrakesh-our room
I can still hear the call to prayer resonating in my brain, at first, frightening, that first morning at 4:30ish (am) but with time, welcomed, amazing, beautiful...
We never stopped walking, the souks were an endless maze, as were the visions to behold on the square by night, -if- you could steal a peek through the throngs of Marrakeshis, we'd just wander and wander, then wander some more...
Gosh I was so damned excited to be standing there!

 Ooohh.. I get it--you're researching Egypt, huh? Great "Things to Do" tips here, Sarah! (I read through them the other day.) I'd say the best I've read so far--very personal, easy, and comprehensive!

 I'm returning to Marrakech in a few weeks and reading your tips adds to the sense of anticipation! Those coconut cookies sound lovely - I must look out for them. Your local customs are well researched. I had no idea what the call the prayer was about.
