Most of the panoramas on this page were taken in the Old Town with its narrow, car free lanes, but loads of bikes and mopeds (and the occasional donkey cart).  Most of the photographs on this page were shot in the Old Town there is much more to Marrakech than that, both new and old and the old Colonial French Quarter too.  

 
     
 


Tour de Moroc. Apologies to the old fellow and his doppelgangers. If he ever sees this I hope he will see the funny side. What isn't funny is an act of sabotage which took place a couple of years after this panorama was shot in the Old Town's main square.  One of the favourite tourist restaurants was blown up. I think it was the  Terrace Panoramique the signpost of which can be seen one advertising Residence La Place easilly seen in the panorama. 

 
     
 


This ruin is interesting in several ways. The crumbling brickwork demonstrates why Marrakech is known as the Pink City., the clay from which they were made is red. Today with modern rendering there is quite a bit of cheating as is evidenced by the house, Riad, to the side of the ruin. The houses were built around an inner courtyard without roof to cool the living space. From the outside this is not usually evident but the ruin tells it all including a balcony replacing a corridor to upper rooms.
