A brief visit to Marrakesh

The last day in Essaouira was mostly spend at the beach 🏖️and yes we did get our feet wet 👣, but not more than that. The weather was nice but not nice enough for the water temperature 🥶. And thanks to some helpful AI we have a spectacular movie from one of the tours through the medina 😎.

After another couple of uneventful hours in the car we arrived in Marrakesh and things got chaotic. 😵‍💫
The address on the AirBnB reservation was not were the riad was actually to be found, but with a little “help” from “friendly” locals🙄, some calls 📞, a lot of googling 🗺️and a 30min walk through the crowded medina we managed to check in. 😮‍💨Thank god we travel light and with backpacks! 🎒

The riad felt like an oasis in the otherwise loud and busy alleys. Indoor pool with orange trees, welcome tea on the rooftop terrace and a very friendly host took away some of the stress. 💆

Today became more hectic than anticipated, but we managed to see some more of the medina and sights, before we hastily headed to the airport 😥. Unfortunately there was not enough time to fully explore Marrakesh but from what we saw, we felt more “at home” in Essaouira anyways.

We had a great time in Morocco 🇲🇦 with beautiful landscapes, great food and nice people but next time we are in Africa we will be back to where there are giraffes!🦒Read more
