Transportation in Marrakech

All of the medina walls and buildings inside the medina in Marrakech are the same color - this lovely rusty orangey red. There are a few different shades, but don't go to Marrakech expecting to find a white building anywhere. We were shocked when we got to Essauoira and all of the buildings were white and blue! Casablanca's got all sorts of different colors, so it was interesting to see the uniformity in both places.


While in Marrakech, we decided to take an hour long trip on a horse and buggy to go along the outside of the medina walls.



Inside the medina, only horse & buggies, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians are allowed. Outside, it's a whole different ballgame, as cars are also driven around. Check out this awesome traffic circle - I would not want to drive here where not only do you have to watch out for crazy car drivers, but horses and buggies too!

And in case that wasn't enough options, you could just hop on one of these camels...

I really think you made the best sellection with the horse and buggy. It looks like you were having a great time.
