City Walls

posted by jhook on 8 October 2010 at 15:43

I love finding out about the history of a place when on holiday and the city walls were really good. known as the medina of marrakech they were built around 1070. They are beautiful, changing colour throughout the day, especially at sunset.

Koutoubia Mosque

posted by wfisher on 8 October 2010 at 15:40

I love old buildings and this is an influential one, inspiring designs of many more across europe, particularly spain. Not being muslim, i couldn't go inside but the minaret, topped with shiny metal balls is spectacular. Definitely worth going to see.

where, when, how, web
In medina, the old part of the city, travel down avenue mohammed v from the modern part to find it easily

Jami' alFna'

The Jami' alFna' is Marrakech's central market place. Its a great spot to eat in the evening when all the street food vendors come out. There's also plenty in the way of entertainment with live music and snake charmers
