Marrakesh

In school they organize a trip for all the pupils in their pre-final year, that trip was last week and I was lucky enough to go to Marrakesh!

Bye Holland, Hello Morocco. 

 

Djemaa el Fna by night! I loved the atmosphere there!


During our four hour trip towards Ouarzazate we saw this tiny "shop", I thought it looked incredibly cute. Check out the line stone pigs!


 Film studios at Ouarzazate!


 Objects used in several films.


So this is what they call a film studio. Impressive, huh?


 And this is as well called a film studio. Yeah, a lot of nothing.
(The building you can see in the back is the castle used in Game of Thrones.)


Kasbah Aït Benhaddou, this village is placed on the World Heritage Site.
Only five families live here because the renovations took too much time for most people.
The view from this Kasbah (= village with four towers) was amazing!


 HEY IT'S A CAMEL! (Actually it's a dromedary, but camel sounds better.)


 Whoop whoop let's go riding this sweet camel!


While visiting a palace I spotted this pillar. These details are so tiny, must have been a hell of a job to do.


Spices souks, beautifully exposed, don't you think?


Can you feel the chaos?
My name written in Arab (read from right to left) in henna!


And another beautiful henna drawing on my hand.



The souvenirs I brought from the trip!
(Moroccan paper, tajine cups, bracelets, scarfs, a few Dirham coins, key hanger typical Arabic shoes and Arabic Orangina and Fanta.)



It's been a week to remember!

See you soon!
