NOT
TO BE MISSED
POPULAR ART: A GENUINE FESTIVAL !
Every year, the
ruins of the el Badii palace provide the grandiose
setting for the national festival of popular art. This
is the showplace for music, dance, songs and costumes
as well as jewellery and ornaments for family or
religious celebrations. Quite enchanting!
THE
TREASURES OF THE DAR SI SAID MUSEUM
Jewellery in finely worked
silver, oil lamps in Taroudannt stone, embroidered
leather, rustic pottery, marble, magnificent pots,
chests, Berber jewellery: it is like walking through a
dream. Especially the favourite's bedroom with its
exceptionally beautiful collection of carpets.
TANGIA:
THE BEST OF TRADITION
It is both the
name of a rounded earthenware pot and a delicious dish
of mutton and spices which stews slowly, buried
overnight in hot ashes. Delectable!
THE
TANNERS ANCIENT CRAFT
Nothing has
changed in the souk's tanneries for many hundreds of
years. Among the skins stretched out on the straw to
dry in the sun, close to the vats,craftsmen are still
using saffron to obtain yellow, poppies for red,
indigo for blue and antimony for black. A look into
the past that should not be missed.
YOUR
CARRIAGE AWAITS FOR THE PALMERAIE
As the horse
settles into a brisk trot, how delightful it is to
feel the gentle caress of the light breeze on your
cheek and gaze at the silhouette of the palm trees
standing out against the fiery sky ; riding towards
the tower of the palm grave in the light of the
setting sun is one of the most romantic moments you
can enjoy in Marrakesh
