Marrakech: Day 2

It was a pretty mellow day. We went to “the palace” museum. There are 2 palaces, we went to the ruins of the Badi Palace. That is where I got the photos of the storks starting here.

From there, we walked through the old part of the city back to the Djemaa Fna, which is where I took most of the photos starting here.

We then found a comfy place to sit on a restaurant terrace above the main square and people watched.

We watched the food vendors wheel in there stands and food.

We watched the crowds start to arrive.

In general we just kinda hung out.

The next morning we left of Cairo.

Some general observations:

  • Morocco is MUCH cleaner than Cairo. Having wind off the ocean and rain probably has a lot to do with that
  • There are many more headscarves, but fewer niqabs. Almost all non-western women in Morocco had on headscarves.
  • I don’t know what the Per Capita income difference between Egypt and Morocco is, but it seemed like Moroccons were better off. I saw far fewer beggars, there were FAR fewer ratty old cars on the streets. Of course, I think Morocco has far fewer people than Egypt. That probably helps
