Marrakech Magic
By: Gems Ouziad
Morocco is located in North West Africa, bordering Spain, Algeria, Mauritania, and the Atlantic Ocean. Due to its location and history, Morocco is a blend of West African, European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cultures and traditions. This cultural melange started in the 12th century B.C., when Phoenician traders came to set up depots for salt and ore and developed relations with the Berber tribes.
Step a thousand years back in time into one of Shaharazard’s tales, weave through the snake charmers and never-ending marketplaces full of vibrant colors and the smells of exotic spices and orange trees. Listen to the deep enchanting notes of the Gnawa musicians and the methodic calls from the vendors as they vie for your attention. Sit on a terrace sipping mint tea and watching acrobats and dancers awe the crowds below. Such is the magic of the Medina in Marrakech.
