Marrakech Travel Blogs

Today we woke up around 7am as at 8 we had to meet our tour guide and a young couple from Belgium. We left around 8.15 and drove toward the Atlas Mountains. On the way we saw beautiful landscapes and many Berber authentic villages (16th and 17th century). I am attaching some of the photos I took on…

Our last day in Marrakesh began with the routine World Cup chat as we got ready for a day of sightseeing.  We decided on spending the day getting to places of interest further afield by using the hop on hop off buses found in nearly every city nowadays. Before we bought the tickets we consider…

We were really surprised by the hospitality Kamal has provided. Hostel with 5 star service! If you have problem with the room Kamal will straight away deal with it professionally like if the is no hot water of its too hot, a very detail survival tips in term of directions etc. Plus where else could…

The last day we went back from Tinerhir to Marrakech, which was a full day in the bus. After reaching back most of the group went to the square (Djemaa el Fna) for buying the last souvenirs. Because we had almost the same food for 7 days (beef, omelette, salad) we went to the pizzeria that evening …

On our last day, I thought a lot about why I HAD to visit Morocco.  The answer never came to me and I am not sure it ever will?  However, when we feel a strong connection to something in life there is not always a clear reason.  What is important is following the c…

We went on our honeymoon to Marakesh.Just 1 week. But for Marrakesh alone, that is more than enough 3-4 days will do.First to start of: DO NOT GO THERE IN SUMMER!We were there in the end of june and experianst heats from 40 to 55 degrees celsius. (104 to 131 farenheit)Oke, a short briefing: Marrak…

This morning one of my fellow Kumuka tour mates, Anna, and I headed out to the Hammam. The hammam, descended from the Roman bath, is the Moroccan version of a Turkish bath - very hot, lots of running water, but less steam - and is used by most Moroccans at least once a week. Hammams usually co…

Thrilling, shadowy, fragrant and only a four hour flight away(from heathrow airport). Marrakesh continues to seduce travellers in search of a heady, otherwordly city break!  The sprawling square in the world is as thrilling as the Place Djemaa el Fna, is in the heart of the medina, overlooked …

Up before the sun rose and we all gathered round in the camp, and got our gear together. The camels were already saddled and we were told to mount up. Everybody tried to find the camel they had come on. Amazing how quickly emotional attachments form. Found out later about half the group had given t…

yesterday was a long drive from Casablanca to Marrakech, with a lot of stops; those stops were necessary since half of the group (including me) got sick. We even got a group discount at the doctor's office in Casablanca! But we survived, and now we're of to visit the medina of Marrakech. We had a …

Can't remember anymore how many times I visited this lively city but I still love it! Love to eat a good tajine, the Moroccan salads, a nice mint tea, while enjoying some belly dancing. The vibes of the city, the Djema el Fna square, the souks... can stay there for hours! And then seeking some quie…

Resumen fotográfico (y en breve escrito) de 11 días en Marruecos. Un viaje en solitario que resultó ser más que especial

So, today again woke up to the sun shining and a beautiful breakfast (I could really get used to this...) We decided last night that we wanted to try a hammam so we talked to Peter about the best place to go without a reservation. He gave us the flyer for this one place (I will find the name...) an…

On Tues night got back to Marrakech, after a very very lond drive through the atlas mountains and jebel range - was amazing though!!

We decide to walk from the hotel to the main sq Djemna El Fna.  The hotel receptionist insists it is only a 10-15 walk and most of the reviews I read also agreed with this.  We head out and follow Rue Moulay El Hassan, we are fascinated by all the little things like the row of orange tree…
