Marrakesh
May 6, 2008 - Marrakesh, Morocco
Love it or hate it, most people agree that you have to visit Marrakesh when you go to Morocco.  It's considered the gateway to the Sahara, and was the first trade city that caravans crossing through the desert came upon.  It still has a huge number of markets of all different sorts, but is now a hotspot for tourism as well, although I didn't...
