Travel Snapshots
Marrakech
Moroccan Lamps
Moroccan lamps or Moorish lamps are steeped in
history and date back to the time of the Moors. These
brass, copper or frosted glass lamps and lanterns could
add a touch of elegance to your home. Not only will it
infuse a Moroccan feel to your living space but it is
also an ideal way to remember your journey to this
fascinating city and country.
Koutoubia Mosque
The Koutoubia Mosque is the
largest mosque in Marrakech.
It is located in the Medina
quarter of the city and
features curved windows.
While the mosque serves a
spiritual purpose, its minaret
is also a point of reference of
international
architecture.
The 12th century 70m-high
tower is a prototype for
Seville’s La Giralda and
Rabat’s Le Tour Hassan.
Traditional Moroccan Courtyard
Morocco is famous for its Moorish style architecture.
Homes and guesthouses in Marrakech often boast
stunning courtyards. These offer wonderful inspiration,
and ideas for your own home. The courtyards and
patios range from the very simple to the ultra stylish
and luxurious. Look out for vibrant coloured cushions,
beautifully coloured hanging lamps, lovely carpets and
intricate mosaic tiles.
Camel Riding
Moroccan Rug
You may not be in the market for a Moroccan rug but a
walk through one of the rug souqs in Marrakech may
change that. The skillfully made woollen Moroccan rugs
only get better with age and is a great investment while
visiting Marrakech, as they can be quite expensive
elsewhere.
Many people dream of riding a camel in the desert, few people get the
chance to live this dream. Make this dream a reality in Marrakech.
Many tour companies across the city offer camel rides and guided
desert tours. Experience a truly magical desert sunset, sip on
some classic mint and of course, ride on one of these magnificent
animals. Tours can be arranged with your hotel and many of the tour
companies offer pick up services from your respective hotel. Small
groups and individual tours are available.
