We’re heading into our last days in Marrakech before heading off into the desert.
I will never get tired of the colourful sights of this city.
Taking a break in the main square for some sustenance!!
A few more vibrant snaps from around the main square.
Taking a break from the hectic streets of Marrakech we slip into a peaceful paradise hidden in the depths of the medina. The Jardin Secret.
The origins of the complex date back to the Saadian Dynasty, more than four hundred years ago.
Rebuilt in the mid-Nineteenth century it’s a tranquil haven of greenery and peace.
The exotic garden is filled with plants from all over the world all complemented with graceful architecture.
The garden is a metaphor of heaven; it is a sacred place, laid out according to rigid geometrical rules, in which the Muslim order asserts itself over the wild disorder of nature.
The ornate hand-carved stuccos and geometric designs made by master decorators showcase the outstanding skills of the local craftsmen.
