Marrakesh


A sweet vendor, Marrakesh Medina. October 2008.
In October 2008 I was on my honeymoon touring around Morocco. After a wonderful spell in Casablanca, it was time to take the train down to the famous city of Marrakesh. We had a generous four days to explore and, furthermore, we’d secured a wonderful location right in the heart of the city at a traditional riad.
They said that Marrakesh would be a full-on experience, a veritable assault on the senses. They certainly weren’t wrong. But oh what an adventure it was grappling with persuasive market vendors, combative street beggars, wily snake charmers and manipulative henna girls.
