Marrakech Day 2

We set about exploring Marrakech with a guided tour from Youssef, seeing the main sights of the city and the towers and mosques marking the start of the Arabic dynasties. Some beautiful architecture in the Saadian tombs and Bahia palace, all veyr geometric and patterned. Very interestingly, the lack of animals or humans in any art is due to Islamic law, as Allah is the only “creator”.
One of the highlights of our trip, we spent the afternoon at Les Bains de Marrakech, getting a 3 hour traditional hammam massage. Scrubbed, oiled and cocooned in mud – an interesting experience we left feeling absolutely glorious.
We retired to our Riad for another unbelievable Moroccan meal with plenty of bread, vegetables and fresh fruits.Read more
