We’re back after a whirlwind tour of Marrikech and the surrounding area. It was an amazing two and a half days.
Dinner and walking through the Jemaa el-Fnaa square – eating
diner from one of the local establishments…
On the way to Ouzoud in the Atlas Mountains, we stopped at a
small store that sold perfumes, soaps, oils, etc. Imagine the sensory overload from the color
and smells of the materials used to make the products.
A drive to Ouzoud in the Atlas mountains where we climbed,
climbed some more, and then finally climbed to see a wonderful waterfall…
Dinner at the Restaurant Dar Essalam where they filmed the
movie, “The Man Who Knew Too Much”.
Food, fun, belly dancing…
A walk through the Saadian Tombs…
A tour of the Palais de la Bahia…
And of course, strolling through the Medina and learning how
to negotiate from the experts.
We spent virtually no time thinking about our Corporate
Service Corps assignment (sorry folks) and most of the time soaking up the
culture and history of Marrikech.
Stay tuned for more updates.
