Another Detail of the Marrakech City
Marrakech, the tourist capital of Morocco. Located almost 400km south of Fez, Marrakech is known to people around the world more than Morocco. Because this city is the original city of pioneering tourism. 1960s hippie North Africa (please listen to Crosby’s Marrakech Express, Stills and Nash issued in 1969) and is the country’s number one most visited city. and is a city that gives a feeling of mystery according to the style of traveling in Morocco But it’s full of chic. and many works of art from artists around the world who have settled here. make this city Its unique artistic motifs that are famous all over the world will tell us that we came here with great hope. From having seen pictures of the beauty of Marrakech in many magazines and travel books. The beauty of Muslim art in Morocco Riyadh style hotel that is a renovated old house. Most have a swimming pool.
This Muslim house often reflects the culture and tastes of Muslims, meaning that the exterior is usually simple and unpretentious. But once inside, you will see the exquisite beauty that the owner of the house can put on for personal happiness without being considerate of anyone. Because according to Islam, boasting is a temptation to envy. therefore considered a sin So we can see that the face of a woman is closed. or building a house to make the outside look simple.
It is also a culture that is related to religious beliefs as well, coming to Morocco to be ignorant of his religion would not be good. One of the pillars of Islam is that alcohol is forbidden. but as a tourist city Marrakesh has everything you need to drink. especially in big hotels Or the city’s chic restaurants. One thing is that the Muslims in Morocco are Sunni Muslims which has more freedom than the Shiah sect, which is much more strict Muslims have a principle of philanthropy that we can give to whoever we think we deserve. It doesn’t have to be a monk. is if we see poor people walking on the streets.
We can hand him the money, no problem. Another thing is to see that during the fast (Ramadan) of the Muslims when they eat after sunset. There will also be generous offerings for the poor and the poor. Because it is one of the religious principles that leftovers must not be kept for themselves. The poor must be given to the poor. It is one of the rules not to let the greedy people come to Marrakesh. One thing that we can immediately see is the magenta pink color of the city. which pink is the national color of Marrakech instead of the unique red clay color here. Marrakech is a very important city since the 11th century as a city on the trade route.
The last city in the Morocco area before the Sahara Desert. It is both a frontier city for people who are about to travel out into the desert. to prepare supplies belongings before the long journey and it was the first city that people returning from the desert would stop at. before moving on to other cities of the country, so it is not uncommon for Marrakech to be famous for shielding and shopping until now. Marrakech differs from Fez in that Each year it welcomes a much larger number of tourists from around the world. The attractions here are scattered from the old city (medina). and transformed into a chic restaurant, grocery store and a new society outside the Medina, with the Medina now a tourist destination. There are more local shops and hotels in Riyadh style than the old town where the locals actually live like Fez. People have houses in this city.
Or if someone does not have a home I often come to rest here often. World-renowned designer Yves Saint Laurant also has a home in Marrakesh that now houses the Majorelle Gardens (Avenue Yacoub El-Mansour. Open daily 8am-5.30pm. Admission is free). 30 derrams each) his favorite place and sprinkle his Tuesday (YSL died in 1988) became one of the main attractions of this city, but a trip to Marrakech For most tourists It would have to start at Jemaa El Fna Square, which is the center of everything in the city anyway. This square is an open space in the center of the city. It is home to many businesses and the only walking area for tourists. For the two of us who have seen the magic of Fez before. The courtyard is full of merchants, snake-keepers, and musicians, but it doesn’t excite us. Especially when our group guide, Mr. Steve, threatened before getting out of the car that “Whatever you look at He will assume you bought it, paid for it, and if you took a picture of it, you paid for it.”
This is the culture of the people here. So our walking tour of Jama El Fina Square was the same. is to secretly take a photo And avoid the eyes of merchants who will come around and try to sell products to us all the time. Jama El Fina Square, the former parade ground in front of the royal palace. and later when the king moved the palace to the south of the city This courtyard became the execution ground for prisoners. that when the head was beheaded and executed His head was also put in this courtyard. Walk this courtyard from the front parking lot. through a panel of orange juice lined Go alongside a stall selling dried fruit. Going further, you will come across a market that they call souk. There are shops selling similar works around the market, such as various types of leather goods, kaleidoscopes, metalware, and herbs.
Jewelry, woven bags, clothes. How does walking feel like Chatuchak Park? But since the two of us have passed the Facebook page So I know one principle of shopping that You don’t need to get the cheapest stuff. but if you are satisfied Like it and the price is what you can get. I recommend you to buy it. because the bargaining price is very cheap with the fact that we can get something that is satisfying, to use, or as a keepsake would be more valuable Another look at the sales people here. It shows that sellers and buyers are the same all over the world. Marrakech people selling stuff here.
Seeing tourists come to the area, they want to sell. And there are some people who call the price very high. The best way is to keep asking the price. in order to know the approximate price and then continue to work as best as possible so that you will not be very tired if Likes shopping and arguing with salespeople every second. It is recommended that when you come to Marquez, you should come shopping at this market. Because this place has everything you could want as a souvenir from Morocco. And the price is not expensive at all. But if you want to see the city In addition to being able to find a shop sitting around this square for coffee Eat and see the view You can continue walking to see the Koutoubia Mosque, which has a tower that is the most important and famous symbol of the city. and continued walking outside Medina.
Come to a new city called Plaza, where modern Marrakechs live most of their lives. and has a chic restaurant Lined up especially in his central postal district (La Poste) where we dined at Le Grand Café de la Poste (Gueliz, Corner Boulevard Mansour Eddahbi & Anevue Imam Malik, http://www.grandcafedelaposte. com) A very old French restaurant established in 1925. Be sure to dress up nicely. It’s hippie modern in the evening. It starts with cocktails and finger food snacks. before going to dinner Turn wine into French cuisine. with the application of Moroccan spices to add to the novelty and absorb the old atmosphere of the antique mirror decoration antique barbour rug and let the sounds of Moroccan folk songs take you into the real world just like your imagination of the country. because it is next to the desert Marrakech can get very hot in the summer.
Therefore, it is not recommended to travel during that period. We went to Marrakech at the end of March this past. while other cities Europe, like Madrid, is still cold. Marrakech is so hot that you have to buy flip flops to wear, and another period that is not recommended to visit is the annual Iftar. because it is very quiet here So plan well. You can find the fasting period of each year on the Internet, for example.
