Morocco, December 9th-24th 2005




Can't remember the name of this little village, which is where tajines are from

We arrived in Marakesh together with an annoying rain shower that lasted for our entire visit.

A food court/market is set up in the main Marakesh square every night. Every restaurant of the city mounts its own stand.
There's an entire section devoted to orange juices: something like 50 permanent stands!

If you don't let yourself be dragged in at every stand, you can taste a variety of recipes and have dinner with just a couple of euros.

Seulement pour voir! Pour le plaisir des yeux!
And I ended up buying the red carpet, a wooden camel and a lamp made of (real) camel skin.
