Back in Casablanca

We returned to our ship rather late in the evening, the harbour was smelly and foggy and we hurried aboard, looking forward to a whole day at sea on our way to Madeira

Koutoubia Mosque

Low sun behind the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque. Time to head towards our bus and leave Marrakesh.

Typically Marrakesh

Red walls, palm trees, blue skies, snowy mountains in the back and lots of ACs

Fuchsia

There were some rather nice flowers in the gardens surrounding the tombs

Yellow Rose

We saw tourists picking flowers in the gardens around the Saadian tombs but this rose had survived

Saadian Tombs

We only had 5 hours to visit Marrakesh but at least managed to visit the Saadian tombs and the Bahia Palace

The Kasbah Mosque

As a non muslim tourist you are not allowed to enter the Kasbah mosque (also called el-Manouria or Moulay Al Yazid mosque) but you can enjoy the building from outside. It was built in 1190 and although not as spectacular as the famous Koutoubia mosque it is nevertheless a prime example for the architecture of the "red" city.
