Prior to visiting Morocco, I envisioned a desert terrain with various shades of brown and red, with perhaps a pop of green here and there in nature. Once we arrived, the terrain was exactly as I envisioned, but there was a nice surprise waiting for us. As we spent our time exploring Marrakech, we were surrounded by pops of beautiful color around the city. So much so, that we couldn’t stop taking photos of the beauty. I guess in most places many of these things would just blend in. But when layered against the back drop of the terracotta colored Medina Walls, it was something that stopped us in our tracks every time.
Enjoy the Colors of Marrakech in the Medina

Just loved every picture and the vibrant colors…..oh how I would love to go there!
You would have loved it there Mom. We will just have to make plans to return with you in tow. 🙂
Wow. This is very interesting article with a lot of beautiful pictures.
Thanks for sharing this article.
Morroco is a very beautiful country.
Thanks for stopping by to check it out.
Amazing colors — lives up to the title of the post! I want to go to Morocco!
Thanks Liz. It is a great place to visit.
Gorgeous photos! I am going in May, and I’ve never been more excited about visiting a place as I am Morocco. Can’t wait!!
Hey Valen, thanks for stopping by to comment! We do have a few other posts on MOrocco, so you can see you are in for an experience.
We’re frustratingly close to Morocco. But it’s cheaper for us to fly back to the UK and then over there than get a direct flight from here. The crazy world of the Canary Islands. Love this colourful post.
Funny you mention that Matthew. I checked out flights over to see your islands and potentially meet up with you and your family, but flights were off the charts expensive. I was thinking it would be dirt cheap and we could hop over for the day or something. It was only 35 Euro each, round trip from Seville, Spain to Marrakech. Crazy! Another time.
I just love the photos, takes me back to my trip there (It was by far one of my favorites). I don’t think I had ever seen such vivid colors and the spices…wow! ahhh thanks again for bringing me along with you. ;o)
So glad you enjoyed the Christine! Isn’t it great how a photo can instantly take you back to a place you visited so long ago. I guess that is why we took about 900 photos, or so on our trip to Morocco. It is tough filtering through them all to pick out the one that best represents what we are writing about. You can come along with us whenever you like!
Morocco was one of the first places I felt the travel itch – thanks for taking me back four years!
Oh you bet Cat. Thanks for the offer to take us to the airport as well. I found a great deal with the Seville airport and need to write about it, one of these days. The P1 short term parking has an on line booking system. If you book on line it was only 35 Euros for 8 days, but you have to pay at the cashier window and not at the machines. Providing you show your printed reservation they give you the deal, otherwise it is the per hour parking fee. Crazy. Cute airport.
I love the photos! Great photo essay.
Thanks Kerri. I sure hope we can bump into you somewhere in this world! 🙂 How long will you be in SEA?
What’s insane about it Henry?
I can’t believe ya’ll take your kids with ya. That’s insane!
Had to say the colors are quite amazing! I love the architecture and the walls in your photos, Heidi. Nice photos–favorite shot is the one of the spices.
Thanks Brian. I don’t think we’ve met yet. Welcome to our blog.
Yes, the walls were amazing! Alan took that photo of the spices, so he will be very pleased with your comment. I am a quick point and shoot at everything person, when it comes to a camera. Alan takes care in getting the special photos.
What beautiful photos guys! Now I regret not picking up one of those pieces of pottery when we were in Marrakech 😉
Thanks Micki! I wanted to buy so many things, but we resisted. We know we are going to be “mobile” as of the summer and wouldn’t have any place to keep any purchases, so we left with photos.
I want to go there so badly! Wonderful photos.
It is lovely Paige. Next time you make plans for Europe, just take a little detour.
gorgeous colors!!!
Thanks Jessie
Incredible. Such vibrant colors. One more reason that Morocco is at the very very top of my must visit destinations.
Ah thanks Elena! I do think it is worth a visit, the people were so friendly. As we are filtering through all of the photos, we are missing it.
I think the colors of morocco is my favorite!!!!!
Love,
Carol
Oh thank you Carol. We hope you are doing well in Florida for the winter. Play some golf for us. 🙂
