Well yes, I am back in Marrakesh with friends Ching and Gary. The weather is beautiful and warm with the perfumed air enticing me further and further into the souks, and the spices teasing me to take Moroccan cooking lessons.
We were supposedly looking for a rug for their apartment in Cassis but it is so easy to get sidetracked in the Medina and lost. But by some miracle, I haven't been lost and I haven't used a map, nor GPS, visuals have been my guide. That doesn't mean if someone asked me how to go somewhere in the Medina or draw a map that I could. No, it simply means that I know how to get back to the El Fenn Riad where we are staying. A true miracle.
But the big question is How many of these slippers do my friend buy?
If you have any questions about traveling to Marrakesh let me know and I will try to answer them in regards to my personal experience. Of course, I know very little but if you are thinking of traveling to Marrakesh I would encourage you to do so.
El Fenn Riad where we are staying
I love Marrakesh!! I hope you will go to La Mamounia to have a drink, or just a look around! I loved staying there years ago with some girlfriends. What an amazing treat that was!!

That is the life! To travel to Marrakesh to buy the right rug.

Oh, the eye-popping color!!! I wonder if the colors are so bright because the sun is so brilliant? Thank you for this post.

Heading to Marrakech in April for a week. 2nd visit. El Fenn's boutique, Majorelle Gardens, 33 rue Majorelle, a guided tour day out of town, Al Fassia restaurant, well, I made it to as many of the suggestions in a HIP Paris blog as I could and will repeat much again. Did you get to Souk des Tapis, as it is also mentioned in the HIP Paris blog article? I also just stumbled across this article: https://www.butterfield.com/blog/2019/03/06/best-shops-in-marrakech/
Enjoy!
