Jemna-el-Fna, square of the beheaded,
the centre of old Marrakech, where I
found snake charmers as well as "dentists"
sitting on the ground waiting for customers!
(nevertheless I went to a Bordeaux/France
traned dentist to ease my tooth ache....)
Our original intention had been to visit the Ben Youssef Madrasa but it was closed on a Monday. Very close by is the Marrakech Museum so that became the alternative and it did not disappoint. Firstly having walked from from Jemaa el-Fnaa through the seemingly chaotic souks and medina being indoors in a beautiful peaceful building was a welcome relief.
The museum has some beautiful features, a lot relating to the building itself., especially the glass covered courtyard. This contains a very large centrally hung chandelier ceiling piece consisting of metal plates decorated with fine geometric and epigraphic cuttings. It really is unusual and quite beautiful.
There is a mixture of exhibits from pottery to photographs and it is a great place to spend an hour or two.

Le Jardin Majorelle, Marrakech, Morocco.
This place is absolutely stunning! An oasis of quiet in the bustling city of Marrakech! All we could hear was the singing of birds and the bubbling water from the fountains. I would highly recomend visiting this place if you are ever in Marrakech :)
Here are some videos I took in the gardens :)
