| My friend, Safa, and I at the art Museum. (This picture really doesn't do justice to the beautiful architecture of the place.) |
 |
| This is a building for art exhibitions. This month's feature artist apparently created all his famous artwork before the age of 12. That, or I just don't appreciate abstract art. |
 |
| A view of the "rug market," where traditionally prayer rugs were sold. Now there is much more than rugs, such as the colorful purses and stools in the photo. In this market there are all kinds of crafts, from furniture to lamps to jewelry. |
 |
| This is a lovely pedestrian walkway that divides the main road leading from the "old city" (below) to the newer, business city. |
 |
| This is the bustling market in the old city (mdina) where many people come to grab a quick meal, shop for cheap Chinese products of all sorts, or just people watch. It's quite lively and an energizing place to walk through. |
Jacob these look great. So different than the car congested downtowns in the US. Remember to tell me when you have a pic you like for the background image. :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed I will. I have been thinking about that.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, and so happy to see you're hanging out with Safa!
ReplyDeleteElliot, don't worry there's pleeenty of congestion in Moroccan cities, unfortunately. The medina's streets are just too narrow to have many cars pass through at all.
