Marrakech Preview

I've decided to put up some photos of my recent trip to Morocco. Starting from Marrakech. The most hectic place I've ever been to so far while running away from fake guides, child beggers and force salesman. It is an amazing place though. Mystical yet chaotic.

This, you should never miss while in Marrakech.

This signature meal of Morocco will leave you high.
I've underestimated the magic within a Tagine.



The Souks of Marrakech is one awesome place. Especially when it comes to home interior deco. Who will say no to a Moroccan style room? Kilims and oriental lamps are everywhere.
You just need to avoid being cheated off your wallets and have a degree in bargaining.



Watching the set up of the stalls in the Djemaa el Fna Square during sunset is one scene you can never miss. There's lots of things to watch. From men crowing around a small umbrella to teenagers selling flying light propellars that lands on orange stalls.

Watch first, eat later.


Spend an afternoon in the Majorelle Gardens and escape the Arabian heat.
An artist landscape garden which belonged to Yves Saint Laurent. Need I say more?


Be grateful for what you have while watching the kids helping their family earn a living.
