Marrakesh has the gall to suck you in and spit you out, it can be uncomfortable at times but thats what makes it all the more appealing.

Caption: The potential for it to go wrong is high in Marrakesh's souks, you lose all sense of direction, they're filled with mind-boggling distractions and labyrinth alleyways that don’t adhere to linear logic.
If you did have a destination, you’d only be waylaid by hawkers of every description, snake charmers, careening donkey carts and Berber’s with ancient cures for anything.

Caption: It's a fascinating country,
under the Atlas Mountains
we got lost, it felt good to
get uncomfortable, get away
from European sensibilities, score dusty waves, eat on the street and drink sweet mint tea and the freshest orange juice known to man.
