Morocco - half is seawater, half is desert.
Morocco, a land blessed by heaven, a country that makes people worry, the dusty Sahara Desert, the faint nostalgia of Sanmao's past life, Casablanca that came out of the movie, and a fairy tale world by the Mediterranean Sea.
Marrakech~
Marrakech is located in the south of Morocco and is known as the "Southern Pearl" of Morocco. This largest earthen city in the world is the most prosperous tourist destination and party paradise for young people in North Africa. Marrakech is divided into the old city and the new city. The historic and culturally rich Medina is wrapped in a thick 10-kilometer city wall and is also the most popular gathering place for tourists.
The sunset in Marrakech always makes people intoxicated. The afterglow turns the minarets of the Koutoubia Mosque into golden, and the golden sunlight kisses the pink mud bricks of the city walls until they turn deep red. However, the melancholy sunset is not the protagonist. Just like every night for the past 1000 years, the wonderful performances staged in Jemaa el-Fnaa Square are already in full swing~
Marrakech Trip
Marrakech is amazing city to visit . Love the vibes and people are so nice and friendly. Just be aware in the night as it’s quite difficult to walk around specially in Medina area . Overall my trip was amazing and don’t forget to buy a ticket with check in lugage because you might want to shop specially leather good because they are very cheap . And negotiate the price before you buy 😁#2023TravelWish #marrakesh #MyTripVlog #morocco
The wild Morocco
Morocco is a country that surprised me totally. It’s way more modern and wealthy than I knew before or what people told me about it. Transportation is easy going - you can either take busses, local trains, or even petit taxis. And all for normal prices without big worries. Every city has its own specialty and traditions. Marrakech is definitely busy and touristy, a must see but probably not the best option to stay for a long time if you’re looking for a calm place.
On top of all, the south is covered with the Sahara and offers a lot of options for desert tours and ways to explore. Highly recommended!#morocco

Yves Saint Laurent Mansion Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Private Garden
It is located at Rue Yves Saint Laurent, Marrakech 40000. The great designer with his partner decided to save the garden from demolition, they purchased the property in 1980 and began restoring their run down gardens to their former glory.
The gardens are the collection of native and exotic botanicals with leaves and flowers that appear more intensely set against accents of bright primary colored tiles.
Only the lucky few have the chance to visit YSL's private home. Private Tours may be arranged with the director of the Majorelle Foundation for the guests of Royal Mansour. Or i heard when you stay at Four Seasons Hotel also can. If not, you can wander the gardens and take photos from a distance with the tickets you brought, but it is still worth the visit.
Jardine Majorelle
The Majorelle Garden is a one hectare botanical garden and artist landscape garden located in Rue Yves Saint Laurent, 40090 Marrakech. It is opened daily from 0800-1800, you can buy the ticket online to prevent the long queue waiting at the counter.
Former Jacques Majorelle paint studio reopen on 2011 as Berber Museum exhibiting objects of their culture. Following the disappearance of Yves Saint Laurent in 2008, a memorial is created, consisting of Roman Column from Tangier.
The gardens are a major tourist drawcard in Marrakech, attracting more than 700000 visitors annually. It has many fountains and a notable collection of cacti. The garden is handicap accessible, so visitors in wheelchairs will be able to get around easily.
The Mayor Garden (also known as Yves Saint-Laurent) in Marrakech, Morocco, is considered to be the most beautiful private garden in Morocco.
There are two museums in the garden, showing the works of artists and Islamic culture and art, but more like a botanical garden, cactus is the most proud protagonist.
The first owner of the garden is a painter, and the second is a fashion master. Some people ridiculed that this is a "fashionable" punch card. But it is very suitable for taking pictures.
Garden open daily at 8 am local open, 6 pm

✔️Be sure to respect the local religious beliefs and customs in Morocco, after all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
✔️Ladies should wear long skirts that cover the knees and tops that cover the shoulders in public places, and avoid wearing too transparent or too short clothes.

The Djema Square in the old town of Marrakech's Medina, during the day, came and went, and at night, it became a lively and sleepless square.
Tourists and locals gathered from all sides, barbecues, juices, snack stalls, Arabs who play snakes, and Berbers who have been entertaining, lining up the square that has existed for a thousand years.
If you want to shoot the night scene, the second floor of the French coffee on the side of the square has a good view, you can go up to occupy the position early, and it will not be up late!
If every city has its soul, then the sleepless square is the soul and essence of Marrakech. This square full of medieval Arabian style can be said to be very lively from sunrise to late night. There are Indian snake charmers everywhere, Arabs selling spice tea, Moroccan old people telling stories and fortune telling, various performances, and countless The sale of food, beverages, clothing, carpets, furnishings, leather, handicrafts, and the sights of our tourists make this millennium city full of vitality.

As the sky slowly changes from the deep dark blue to the faint purple, and the more and more pink, the layers of clouds suddenly become bright, this experience is magical and exciting, look forward, Djemaael-Fna Square The southwestern part is the most famous monumental building, the Koutoubla Mosque. It is 70 meters high and can be seen in all directions from a few miles away. It was built by the Sultan Jacoby Mansour (1844-1199) of the Almuwadid Dynasty, formerly the site of the 11th-century Almuwahid dynasty mosque, whose light tower is the world. The oldest and best preserved of the three most famous light towers, the other two are: Hassan Tower in Rabat and the Girada Light Tower in Seville, Spain. There used to be a book market here, and now only Koutoubia (from Koutoubia or Kutub, the Arabic word for "book") is left.
There are many mosques in Marrakech. If you can only choose a mosque to visit, the Koutoubia Mosque is definitely the best choice. It is not only a World Heritage Site, but also the highest religious status in Marrakech. It is also the old Marrakesh. The center and the highest point of the city. The
mosque was built in 1195 and was built by the architect of Yashup El-Mansour, who built Rabat in that year, to commemorate the victory of defeating the Spaniards.
Compared with other mosques, the uniqueness of the Koutoubia mosque is that when the minaret was built, nearly 10,000 bags of precious spices were mixed in the mud of the bonded stones, giving the mosque a rich aroma. It is still fragrant and so-called "fragrant tower".
