Marrakech for better or worse

We're not sure what has happened to the city since yesterday. But today, many of the sellers are incredibly pushy and some are downright rude and shout at us. You can't keep answering every single salesperson about where you're going, what country you're from, why you don't want to buy something, etc. Fortunately, there are also the nice people who make up for a bad experience. It is possible to buy alcohol in restaurants in this Muslim country, just sit and enjoy your beer or drink tucked away inside. The selection of beer, wine and alcohol in the supermarkets is astounding. Besides the colorful and lively Djemma el-Fna square and the medina, Marrakech also has its cultural attractions such as the tomb of the sugar baron Saadian Tomba, and one of Africa's finest training grounds for theology students. There is the New Town and the Old Town, which contrast greatly with each other. Hammam is a Turkish bathhouse where, in addition to washing, you can get a massage and a sauna. Hammam is a great tradition in Morocco where men and women can enjoy each other's company - separately. Of course, we had to try it too. However, I quickly got out of there again. In the women's part of the Hammam, there was only one large room where about 20 women sat naked on the floor with a bucket in front of them and washed themselves. There was no door to the standing toilet, so you could see everything that was going on. In the men's part of the hammam, each person had the option of washing in one large room or in small private rooms. To get away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds down at Diemme el-Fna, it's a good idea to head up to the rooftop terraces to enjoy the sunset and get an overview of the activities down in the square. If you have a good zoom lens, the rooftop terraces are also a great opportunity to take people shots without having to keep asking permission and being told "no".
