Sightseeing in Marrakech (many photographs)

There's only so much walking around saying, "No, thank you," that one can take.  After the hustling in the souks and the bustling in Djemaa el Fna, what else is there to do in Marrakesh? It turns out that there are quite a few sights to see.

El Badi Palace, from the late 1500s


There were storks nesting all around the walls of the palace.

Palais de la Bahia, a more recent palace from the 1800s

Painted wood in addition to beautiful tilework



Dar si Said, an aristocrat's house/riyad from the 1800s
