An example of one of the decorative windows in this house / museum.
A good example of Islamic art in the stucco surroundings. As you can see, the design is geometric with the the pattern being repeated in symetrical style.
Below is a picture of the decorative doorway and courtyard. I'm not sure if the man in the doorway is the owner of the museum or not. Leave a Comment Address: Tiskiwin Museum, Marrakesh, MoroccoDirections: Please see above tip

If you have a little spare time, do try to go out of Marrakesh into the Atlas mountains. There are various options: Ourika valley is one, or - as we did - go to Ouarzazate, which leads you all the way across the Atlas mountains, passing the Tichka pass and down again to the street of Kasbahs.
On our way to Ouarzazate we visited Ait ben Haddou - a Kasbah that has been named Unesco World Heritage site - and that is for a good reason! I had been fascinated by this place some twenty years ago and this fascination has not changed after all this time! Leave a Comment

The High Atlas Mountains are a favorite stomping ground for hikers and people who love wide-open spaces. You might think about going off on a long trip, for two or three weeks with a mule, a guide and a cook. Or you could just go for a few days in search of a Berber village. But be careful, you need to plan such a hike very carefully.
Choose your itinerary according to your own degree of physical fitness and expertise. You may run into snow-covered summits and steep valleys. But you will find a whole network of trails already traced out for you.
You should be on your best behavior when you enter a village: dress appropriately, be respectful of local customs, especially where food is concerned. Sometimes there isn't enough to go around, as most villages depend on agriculture as their principal resource for food.
MUST-SEES:
1-Asni Valley
With its two villages where visitors can rent mules to climb into the Atlas and discover the snowy majesty of the highest peak in Morocco: Toubkal Mountain (13,536 ft).
2-Ouirgane
Resort situated near salt marshes with its Tin Mal Mausoleum dating to the ancient Kingdom of the Almohades.
3 -The Ourika Valley
Where springtime is eternal, a tranquil paradise filled with flowers and sparkling streams.
4-Ouzoud Waterfalls
Extraordinary cascades of water more than 300 feet high in the heart of the Atlas Mountains.
5-Oukaimden Ski Resort:
Situated at an altitude of 8,450 feet, the ski slopes are only 70 km from Marrakech. This resort is equipped with the highest ski lift in Africa. Leave a Comment Directions: You should know a mountains' guide !

This was an outstanding evening which gave an introduction to the glamour and history of life in "old Morocco". It is an evening of dinining and entertainment, Berber horsemanship, traditional dancers, musicians, belly dancers, mystery, fireworks and elaborate buildings.
We had a fabulous time, picked up at our hotel and taken to the outskirts of the city this certainly was a night to remember and good value. Our all inclusive cost was 55 Euro per person which we thought was good value, included alcoholic drinks with traditional dinner server to your table.
We were back in our hotel by midnight. Leave a Comment

If you fancy a short active break out of Marrakech, a trip up the Ourika Valley to Setti Fatma with a mountain hike from the village up to the cascades above is very enjoyable and can easily be managed in a day trip.
We travelled up by Grand Taxi and hired a guide - and got stung on both, I think.
From later enquiries, I'd say you can get a taxi from Bab Rob (appropriate name!) outside Marrakech to Setti Fatma and the return trip 4 hours later for around 450 dirhams for up to 4 people (the locals pay 20 dirhams oneway and travel 6 to a taxi). A guide for 4 hours for around 200 dirhams. In both cases, you'll have to argue the price down to this.
