Favorite tourist activity in Morocco

Favorite tourist activity in Morocco .....   shopping.....
From the main square, turn right and you are into the biggest shopping center in Madinah called Souks

In several  interwoven streets you will find hundreds and hundreds of different products: leather, copper, silver, cotton, silk ... This market is now one of the biggest tourist attractions, and above all you will feel completely safe and welcome there..

Here you can make photos blindfolded becaues no one will put his hands on the camera lens.

When you get tired of shopping and haggling, you can take a break in gardens of Menara, botanical garden, Bahia, olive groves and plantations of palm trees ... One of the most beautiful corners of Marrakesh is definitely botanical garden ’ Jardins Majorelle’. Marrakech is a city that lives parallel lives cause each newly discovered world is a complete contrast to the previous.

The entry to the botanical gardens looks exactly like that. The creator of this green paradise was a famous painter Jacques Majorelle way back in 1931. It got renewed by celebrated fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.

For this reason you will come across the sculpture that resembles a cactus tree, put up in memory of Laurent. The most interesting and photogenic part of the garden is certainly Cactus Alley, where tourists simply compete in creating the most beautiful landscape photos.

Menara is the next place that will be directed by the locals and tourist manuals.

It is an olive grove from 19 century, with large, unregulated pool. In the background, you can spot Atlas mountains.

Places that you should not miss in Marrakech are the Bahia Palace that was built in 1880, the El Badii palace from the XVI century and city museum.

Speaking of experimentation in the intersection of culture, it seems that Morocco was able to combine incompatible culinary traditions that have left their mark on the historic area of northwest Africa.

Aromatic and rich. Few barbers gastronomic cultures, a little Moorish, Arabic and Islamic, Andalusianall with spiced flavors and aromas, and a bit of European and Jewish.

Other ingredients of Moroccan '' pot'' are caused by climate positions. With more than 300 sunny days a year, Morocco is rich in exotic fruits and vegetables. At every step you will find buttermilk tree oranges, bananas, dates, figs. In  the land with 1001 spices one life is not enough to try all the flavors ...

I recommend ’tahine’, that is something like stew, prepared and served in a cone-shaped earthen vessels and well-known couscous.

However, the strongest impression on me have left delicious fragrant Moroccan cookies that are traditionally served with mint tea. Braver tourists stick to the rule - eat where the Moroccans eat, they know where the food is good!

First supermarket in Marrakesh called  ’Marjane’ has been openet in 2000th. Supermarkets are pretty poor for the needs and habits of the average European consumer, but at least you'll have the pleasure to see the steak in foil. Often you will want to hug fellows who invented MacDonalds, Kentucky Chicken and Pizza Hut.

For most tourists who are not staying in hotels from well-known chains, these are everyday hangouts. Believe it or not,  in Pizza Hut, you can feel as classy as you've eaten Chocolate shnit in the Ritz. Of course, a new part of Marrakech is richer in beautiful and contemporary restaurants, but the prices fully European too.
