Sale Off The Beaten Path

Sale is a great place for a bit (yes, a bit, it's not a heart of the Amazon jungle!) adventurous visitors who want to discover many small, hidden and very local corners far from crowds of, say, Rabat, Fes, Meknes or Casablanca. Do walk off the beaten paths and get lost to see... just a few examples:

- suques - local shops selling wool at one area, baskets, jewelry (silver) and clothes at others, some streets full of suques are covered, roofed by hand-made bamboo roof to protect locals against sun;

- local smaller and larger doors, gates, decorative entrances, portals etc. Just one example, a portal roofed with green tiles on my picture;

- many small architectural details, chaotic roofs, yards, tarraces, narrow streets and passages etc.;

- locals themselves, somewhat sad, poor, dressed in traditional jellabias but very friendly. Twice they helped me to find out right way and... a Maroccan surprise: they did not want any money from me! I met a group of local women washing clothes on a street, local guys praying silently in yards etc.
