Morocco - Beyond the mint tea
Marrakesh, Essaouira, Agadir, Immouzzer, Atlas mountains and other dusty places.
Yalla yalla
We repacked our backpacks and went to Marrakesh. The traffic was insane and I enjoyed it a lot.
Avenue Mohammed V, Marrakesh
Needle of faith
If the constant noise from the lively square wasn't enough for you, the place is surrounded by three minarets shouting calls to prayer.
Djemaa el Fna, Marrakesh
Godzilla sighted

Koutoubia is the largest mosque in Marrakesh, completed in the 12th century. The model has inspired lots of other mosques and buildings.

Originally a place where they placed chopped-off heads to scare the crowds, this is the main square of Marrakesh occupied by snake charmers, food stalls and all sorts of strange people from dusk till dawn.

A thousand Arabian nights
We found a lovely riad in the medina. The interior garden with fountain provided a retreat from the busy streets outside.

There is a large text on the Kasbah mountain. We had several looney ideas until someone told us that it said "God, king, country".

Shadows moving in the light
The medina of Essaouira resembles an 18th century fortified European town. Many people have been inspired by the magic light of Essaouira including Orson Welles and Jimi Hendrix.
