I left my heart in Marrakech!

 Since I arrived to Morocco I was super excited to meet my Marrakech but we saved the best for the last , most of my group was impressed by the blue city but I was waiting for the charming city Unfortunately I get sick before we start traveling to the south but nothing kept me away from getting there , as usual we fixed our plan our back bags , snacks ..what s left then ? Guide? No we are not tourists .everything was ready we are 6 boys 5 girls till our Moroccan friend called us and she said guys I am going with you to Marrakech! Uhuouuu cool people can’t stop joining us: D so now we re 6 boys 6 girls . 

6 am girls are ready we took the road to the train station everything was perfect till the train came and we still don’t see the boys coming, only 3 made it in time so the others had to wait till the next train . We arrived to Marrakech it is hot comparing to Rabat but it’s still not hotter than Fes We found ourselves surrounded by red color red walls red taxis red streets red hotels.. We arrived to our hostel it’s cozy place where the whole world meet, this place is made for travelers no time for connecting and searching for Wi-Fi password, nevertheless there is time for sharing experience believes traditions silly stories finally we all laugh about the same jokes !

 Marrakech is filled with history , I spend 3 days in Marrakech and I wished I get lost there (as if I didn’t but I found my way back) you cannot skip  the part you get lost in place Jamaa el fné You keep following the shops and food markets and suddenly you find yourself out If you r in Marrakech first you should get lost in Medina you ll find yourself in front traditional restaurants ask for tangia , very delicious specialty, about food try also kofta besman 

 Orange juice orange juice Orange juice orange juice Orange juice orange juice Orange juice orange juice morning afternoon night you will get addicted to this drink while you re in Marrakech  you ll forget water and live on orange juice

 Back to places I liked most first jardin Majorelle, Yves Saint Laurent gifted the Jardin Majorelle to Marrakesh, this garden is now a psychedelic desert mirage of 300 plant species from five continents.

 The Bahia Palace is a palace and a set of gardens located in Marrakesh, Morocco. It was built in the late 19th century, intended to be the greatest palace of its time. The name means "brilliance". As in other buildings of the period in other countries, it was intended to capture the essence of the Islamic and Moroccan style. There is garden with rooms opening onto courtyards 

Finally The Ben Youssef Madrasa was an Islamic college in Marrakesh you ll find a lot of amazing doors design all way to this old school

 Red city by night! place jemaa lfna turns to open circus ,public concert, public shows ,souk of street food .. you get confused which circle you will join
