Pampering in this way may be for a gentle relaxation, or reward after few day of a traveling/hiking. Either way, the hammam experience is enjoyable and guaranteeing a relaxation.

EXPLORING SOUKS AND MEDINAS

The Medina area of many Moroccan towns is an old, often walled downtown area. Here is a bunch of narrow streets and alleys, a hive of activities, a feast of colors, sounds and smells. For example, in Marrakech, Jemma El Fna is the central area of the Medina, which is an open area where there are musicians, snake charmers, fortune tellers, henna painters, etc. every day. In the evening, an outdoor restaurant is opened to enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine in a charming atmosphere.

The Souks (Souks) start from Jemma El Fna and are a maze of labyrinths where vendors sell their goods and bargain. When you have a willingness to buy, bargaining can be fun. In addition to the seller, there are many small workshops, woodworkers, metalworkers, shoe repairers, and tailors. It is very interesting to visit a traditional pharmacy to learn about herbs and spices and their culinary and medical uses.

KASBAH AIT BENHADDOU

The castle is a strong fortress, just like the castle, the main landlord lives in it. Most of them are now decayed, and because they were built with mud bricks, they have become dilapidated. Buildings with four corner high corner towers can be seen everywhere when traveling on the high atlas, such as the Eternal Long Valley of the Dades Valley.

An outstanding example of the fortifications surrounding Kasbah is Ait Benhaddou, which is located on the old camel train trade route between Ouarzazate and Marrakech. Now it has become a World Heritage Site. It is a well-preserved and exquisite castle. Wandering around in its buildings will give people a real sense of history and past life. Often used as a movie set (such as the “Gladiator” used with Russell Crowe), this is a Moroccan gem worth seeing.
