Morocco 2013 - Marrakech

This album is a selection of images from Marrakech taken during Steve Davey's "Impressions of Morocco" photo tour during April 2013.

We started in Marrakech which is a vibrant and famous city. Famed for its souks, tannery, storks and Jardin Majorelle.

After Marrakech, we travelling to Ouarzazte to visit the film studios where they seem to just build new sets in the desert. Our guest house in Ait Benhaddou is run by "Action" who has been in a number of films - the guest house overlooks the beautiful kashbar. Then on to Imlil at the foot of the mountains to start a trek up to the remote village of Armed for one night and some stunning scenery.

From the mountains, we headed to the coast and the port of Essaouira for a few days of calm. The traditional fishing port with its blue boats are very picturesque.
