Morocco Part I

A view from the terrace and the picture above is one of the rooms in my riad
The view on the way home
More of the way home
The poor donkey
The Koutoubia, the best known symbol of Marrakech
Follow the yellow brick road: lost in the souk
A quick souk peek
The central court of the Musee de Marrakech, a former hammam
The central court
Another view of the central court
The chandelier hanging over the central court
The unique hallway leading to the central court
Inside the Ben Youssef Medersa
A closer view of the tile
The dome of the prayer hall
The facades with their tiling, stucco and carved cedar
A closer view of the stucco
Leading to students' rooms, in use until 1962
My window view
The great courtyard
Carved cedar on the surrounding facades
Koubba El-Badiyin
The mosque and buildings across the street
The top of the dome
The underside of the dome, a floral motif within an octagon within an eight point star
Inside the bottom of the dome
Brickwork
More of the below street level ruins
The top of the dome
In the Place Jemaa El Fna
One of the souks
My stop everyday at the Cafe du France for cafe au lait
The end of a most tiring but a most wonderful day
