Marrakesh's Medina (old city) is the best in Morocco with enough alleyways for you to get lost with and yet enough souks to quench your thirst for shopping.

Album: Djemaa El-Fna

A vast square with more than 100 small restaurants and stalls, populated by snake charmers, herbalists and astrologers. It is not only a market, the whole place is a living world heritage.

Also known as "Old Square". Magicians and healers buy their supplies here... lots of herbs and potions and other stuff you don't and want to know.

Album: Palais Bahia

This late 1800s "Palace of the Favourite" spans across 8 hectares with 150+ rooms. Even though only a portion is opened to public, it already shows what the best craftsmen were capable of at that time.

Album: Ali Ben Youssef Medersa

Founded in the 14th century, this Quranic learning centre was once the largest in North Africa and remains one of the most splendid. Well it was definitely more classy than my boarding school, if only it was mixed...

Album: Musee De Marrakesh

Originally a palace, became a girls' school and finally a museum. Contents include contemporary art and artifacts... I found the building itself much more interesting though.

Album: Riad Suliman and Mellah

Nice hotel at a very cheap price. Location again is the problem... I arrived in Mellah on my very first night and without a map nor any signs, even I was a bit uneasy, though $$$ could always solve the problem at the end.

Album: Dar Zouar and Bab Taghzout

A nice Riad that offers tranquility and comfort at a reasonable cost. The catch is that it is located far from the popular tourist places... the good side is if you can find you way back from Djemaa El-Fna at night, then basically you can survive any Moroccan medina.

Album: Marrakesh's Miscellaneous

The bits and pieces of Marrakesh, yeah... mostly the transports
