Aussies In Morocco Tours

I am not usually particularly enamoured of sculpture because of its apparent immutability, which I find stifling due to my personality structure.

However I was drawn 👀 to this one in bronze at Meknes because of the hole in its centre, where the heart ❤️ is intended to be and because of the interesting shadow 👤that it cast. Light 🪔 and shadow and their interconnection has always intrigued.

I believe the arabic inscription indicates this is a famous jewish thinker from a long time ago but online there are references to him being a water carrier. I don't believe this is correct. I am sure that would know.

Meknes, one of Morocco's 4 designated imperial 👑 cities, is undergoing a lot of restoration at this time and much is under sheeting, including the famous gate that Delacroix painted in 1832, with the Sultan astride his black stallion in the foreground.

Beautifully preserved doorway at Fez with a porter walking past.

I didn't initially see anything particularly interesting about this scene. But my driver told me it was unusual to see an old Arab window (so that women could look out onto the street while remaining unseen), affixed to a building in the Portuguese stye. 🇵🇹

I found the El Jadida medina much more interesting than I had expected.

However the famous Portuguese cistern that I was looking forward to seeing, has been closed for years and noone seems to know if or when it might re-open for tourists.

Cyclist 🚴‍♂️ riding past a dilapidated doorway in Marrakech, where people sometimes sit to drink a coffee ☕️ and watch the world passing by. There is nothing behind this doorway. It is a shell of a once grand building.

One can feel melancholic faced with such sights. It is the way of the world though isn't it. Everything is temporal, even love incarnate. ✝️

@ Imlil. You can just drop in for lunch, even if you are not staying there.

The food is definitely western prices but it is a nice change from the Tagine/Brochette/Couscous options elsewhere.

There is also a lovely garden to walk through.

Inner courtyard of about 5 homes in Chefchaouen 🔵. It was lovely to be able to pe*****te past the street facade and was only possible because the guide was a popular local.
