"The Colours Hidden within the Pink City " a Marrakesh Travel Page by leigh767

Marrakech is, unsurprisingly, nicknamed "the Pink City". And true, as you wander and meander though the souks, the walls behind and ahead seem to be nothing but pink. Yet it is so much more than that-- and for this travel page I'd like to take a little walk down the path less taken and highlight some of the more intriguing colours that thsi city has to offer.

All photos appearing here will be mentioned in a proper tip somewhere in the page. Happy exploring!

//Tips and photos continuously being added. Cheers!

Riads are just about the most charming form of inns/hotels I have encountered in the world. Each of them are small (7-15) rooms and so the owner has a direct hand in decorating it and giving each its own special character. The staff are helpful and personable, and would even sit down with you for a cup of tea to tell you more about the local culture if you'd like. They are true representatives of the trademark Moroccan hospitality, and you could hardly go wrong picking an riad.

I would be happy if I only went to Marrakech to stay in different riads and do little else. Bring a good book with you and enjoy the terrace. (Recommended: Riad Chouia Chouia)

Don't be fooled by Marrakech's proximity to the desert-- this city has some well hidden green havens which will surely be a delight to the weary traveller.
