twelve years ago. I was living and working in Casablanca which is about four or five hours from Marrakech. We had a long weekend, and
Dave and I -he was my best friend at the
time -were looking for something to do . There was a guy we worked with, Malik,
and he invited us пустоto come and stay with his family.
So we got to Marrakech one night. Malik's
family live in a fantastic house пустоinteresting and exciting with the market,
Djemaa el Fna. His mother cooked us dinner and then we all went to the square. We
sat on tile roof of a café, drinking пустоmint tea , and watching the people in the square
below us. It is such an incredible place! There are people buying and
selling absolutely everything. There are lots of little kitchens пустоserving soup and kebabs and other things things to eat . You can listen to story-tellers, watch snake charmers. Once I even saw a group of men on camels! Their faces were blue -blue! -and they had
come from the desert in the south of the country.
There's so much to see and do. The Koutoubia Mosque is spectacular and all
the tourists go there. The views are fabulous, with the Atlas
Mountains in the distance, and there are some beautiful parks. And the town has great
restaurants. In fact, everything about it is great.
But it's the square, the Djemaa el Fna, and the shopping streets around it,
that make Marrakech really special. Every time I go back to Marrakech, and I've
probably been there ten or twelve times, I пустоgo straight to the square and to my favorite café. If I ever have the money,
I'd love to buy a house there. But right now, I don't even have a job and the
last time I went there was three years ago .
