The remparts of Marrakech


The medina in Marrakech is enclosed by huge, thick and tall remparts with various gates leading into it. It is one of the biggest medinas in the world and most things happen inside of it. The new city has grown outside and around it. It is quite fun to watch as the various kinds of transportation means go through the gates. I is fascinating to see modern motorized vehicles sharing the road with horses and donkey carts. Marakech is truly a fascinating place. If you have to choose, let it be Marrakech. One doesn't have to do anything but sit at one of the gates and just observe. It is such a colorful scene. I'm so glad I've gone to Marrakech.
