A WALK THROUGH MARRAKECH

My roundtrip through Morocco

Last year at the same time I had already been visiting Marakech. (you can read in this post), so this time I just take you on a walk through this amazing city, which combines old and new and where Muslims, Christians and Jews live together in harmony.

the city wall

the station

a very busy town

the university

One of the busiest squares in Africa and the world, Djemaa el Fna.

some folklore

see the TV dishes over the souq !

little chats while waiting

Behind an very old building, when the door is open you

suddenly see this

so many contrasts

trucks and horses for transport

Teenagers enjoying a free schoolday

this man dries animal skins for leather goods in the sunshine on the street

Like on all banks in the world .... a love declaration

coffee is an art

a snake charmer

and a drummer
