Why take a Taxi from Marrakech Airport to Medina? As a child I lived to read. I lived in my books and dreamt suitably exotic day-dreams, the most exciting of which was of a Morocco Adventure. I walked through souks with huge clay pots (large enough for a genie of course) and stayed in a …

Sixteen Things You Must Do in Marrakech Morocco

Updated May 2018. Marrakech needs to be experienced to be believed. When asking people if we should visit Marrakech, half would excitedly tell us what we must do in Marrakech and the other half would issue dire warnings not to go. We are firmly in the “you must visit Marrakech” camp. Over a staggering 1000 …

In the late afternoon, we cruised through the empty streets of Merzouga, 560 km inland from Marrakech in Morocco.  Box like earthen houses lined the meagre streets that lead to our rendezvous point on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes.  The Dunes of Erg Chebbi. [pinit] Waiting on the unexpectedly fine black soil were …

Updated November 2017. Time to get our road trip from Marrakech to the Dunes of Erg Chebbi, Morocco, back on the road.  Part 4 in the series carries on from the magnificent Ait Ben Haddou exploring both the Dades Gorge and Todra Gorge. Leaving Ait Ben Haddou we were caught in the mother of all …

Ait Ben Haddou is a ksar (fortified village) on the ancient caravan route that linked Sudan with Marrakech.  I toyed with the idea that those camel caravan traders that passed through were the very same ones that stayed in the lodgings we were shown in the MARRAKECH SOUK.   The thought of the trade-laden camels crossing …

Still in the High Atlas on our Journey from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi, we ripped pieces from round bread and dipped it in Argan Oil – mmm – nutty oily goodness.  In the past, the nuts were picked and processed from goats’ droppings (urgh…).  Luckily for us they are now most likely harvested directly from the …

Day 1 of a three day return TRIP to the dunes of Erg Chebbi, sees us leaving Marrakech in a Prado 4WD.  The distance of 562 km is estimated to take 9 hours when driven direct, but we would be using this outward bound portion of the trip to looks at things along the way, incorporating …

When reading a blog about a place I’ve not been before, the photographs that grab my attention are those of everyday street scenes.  How I feel walking down the street wherever I am is an indicator of how happy I will be there. The streets (derbs) of Marrakech are exciting, red, worn, and full of …
