As soon as you enter the Marrakech Medina, you'll see snake handlers, monkey handlers (not my cup of tea), Moroccan men in super tradition costumes and much more. Definitely, a great scene for tourists like me especially if you want to take fun photos although you must tip whoever you take a photo of in this area or they'll chase after you!
I naturally gravitate towards music so when I heard drums, I walked over to these gentlemen and hung out with them a little bit.'bout to show these boys my moves..We danced for awhile and attracted a crowd of our own.Ok, this was my favorite thing to do. Rug shopping! There were so many to choose from. A little tip for you if you're rug shopping in Marrakech, don't go with the first price they give you. I paid half of what the owner initially offered.
I wore a BCBG Maxazria Runway Jacket (similar here), Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Dress, Schutz Sandals, and a Rebecca Minkoff Bag.
I packed a lot of colorful clothes this trip and I felt right at home! You know me and shoes.. Although I didn't get anything for myself, I did get a great pair of Moroccan flats for my mom. I paid the full price because it was already so cheap. (I think I paid about $10-$15 for the pair.)Love the archway here.My lovely sister Dani whom I had the pleasure to travel with. Some people on instagram commented that we should be covered up since we're in a Muslim country but like I've mentioned in this post, the Moroccan people didn't mind at all. Everyone I came across treated us with respect, didn't scold us for showing skin (although the first day I did cover up just incase) and were open minded whether they themselves were covered up or not. I'm seriously so in love with this country!Photos by Dani Song and I
