Exotic Morocco

Ahh....Marrakech...it tantilizes the senses!! The Medina - the old city- has not changed for a very long time. Such a contrast to brand new 5 star resorts popping up to cater for tourists coming for the sunshine! The general population are very poor, its a desert...and many people are farmers!
