We took a camel ride out into the desert around Marrakesh. As we swayed and rolled our way out the landscape changed.
Marrakesh is a huge sprawl. In the suburbs there are many open spaces all are trash heaps with piles of rubble and the odd dusty palm tree clinging on. But further out it is different. There are many palm trees. It gave you the impression of what it must have been like at the beginning, when Marrakesh was a small city, a trading post, and the camel trains came in from over the Atlas mountains.
There was a great beauty to the landscape which made me sad for what has been lost and spoilt. We are so thoughtless and careless with what is precious.
There was a village nearby with people out grazing sheep and cattle on the arid vegetation just as they have probably done for hundreds of years.
Great post 😁
Thank you.
Would love to visit here some day!
It is certainly an interesting place Pooj – put it on your bucket list!
It already is!
I bet you’ve got quite a list! The world is so interesting – the beauty of nature and wonder of culture!
The world definitely has so much to offer I think you’ll find something to see no matter where you go!
That’s true. There’s incredible stuff everywhere. You just have to look for it.
Absolutely!
Enjoy Pooj – and fight to keep it! It’s worth fighting for!
