Moroccan Madness

After visiting London, we jetted down to Morocco, on the east coast of the continent of Africa. We stayed in a traditional riad in Marrakech, near The Jamaa el Fna Square. It is one of the most dynamic attractions

Morocco.

During the daylight hours in the main Marrakech square, the western side tends to be relatively quiet. Other parts boast monkey handlers, juice stalls, various street musicians, snake charmers, and other interesting entertainers and purveyors of oft-curious products. Water sellers with bright red hats add to the atmosphere with their traditional water bags and brass cups, though travelers should steer clear of their product, as the cleanliness of the cups is to be questioned. As the day wears on in Jamaa el Fna Square, the scene starts to change and other interesting characters arrive to entertain the masses.
