The Life In Marrakech

#Morocco has been an unforgettable experience, it was amazing to see the life in Marrakech, exploring maze-like medinas, and drinking tea with Berbers.

The Riads

Guesthouses, better known as riads, are probably the most beautiful thing we’ve been in. On the outside, houses are all sand colors and some located in smelly streets. But once people open their door, you will step in a whole different world. Beautiful colored tiles, birds flying around, a turtle as a pet, a pool in the middle and even kinder people.

To the stunning sunset views on the rooftop of the beautiful Riad Les Inséparables where we had an amazing stay

Wandering around in the Medina

Throw the map you just bought in the garbage bin because the medina is a real maze. Enjoy getting lost and wander around through all the beautiful handicraft shops.
The Medina also known as the old, historical heart of Marrakesh. It's a labyrinth of small streets with stalls with food, carpets, shoes, bags, clothes everywhere! It gives you a real Morrocon feel with all the colors, smells, flavors and the people. The first two days we had to adjust to this kind of street life, but now we can appreciate it more and more. Although it remains difficult to see in what poverty these people live.

a city that fizzes with life, where the default-blue of the sky sings against peach-gold architecture

Ouzoud Falls

Ouzoud Waterfalls are located near the Moyen Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the province of Azilal, 150 km northeast of Marrakech, in Morocco. It's the second tallest waterfall in Africa. At 330 feet, the falls stand atop of the Azilal region of Morocco, overlooking the Tanaghmeilt village where the berbers live.

Ouzoud means "the act of grinding grain" in Berber

The most grateful monkeys ever for sure

Tizi n’Tichka Pass

the Atlas Mountains – a long and winding road which links Marrakech to the pre-Sahara oases. Built by the French in 1930s, it’s a well constructed route offering incredible views. If you’re brave enough, you can follow the route through villages which perch precariously right on the edge of deep chasms. If you continue far enough you will also eventually reach the highest point in the road at the Tizi n’Tichka pass which stands at 2260 metres.
