Markets in the Medina, late night lights in the sky, ladies doing henna in the souks, snake charmers, street performers, and magical mirages everywhere you look. This lovely large city has everything from modern malls and fast food chains, to old world castles, street markets and mosques. During the day the city sits quite as the locals seek the shade, BUT at night the sleepy streets come ALIVE !
People swarm the main market square to see the endless number of street performers. From stilts and snake charmers ( which i avoided like the plague) to fire breathers and bottle games, there is no shortage of things to feast your eyes upon. Hungry? not a problem, within minutes of nightfall, market cafes emerge with fresh food of all kinds cooked right on the spot for you to fill your belly with... the hardest part is deciding what to eat. Marrakech is not a destination but rather an experience.. its a treat for all your senses. So open your eyes to the luxurious textiles, leather goods and colorful lights, your nose to the sweet smells from the spice souks, your ears to the wonderful street music and your taste buds to the succulent street food and i promise you will be satisfied!
