Marrakesh is only 2 hours flying time from London but within seconds of arriving in the old town it feels like you have stepped back in time 1000 years. Outside the city walls, things are different. Wide boulevards stretch for vast distances and you could be forgiven for thinking you were in France or America. But it is the old city that holds the charm. Inside the adobe walls, you can find snake charmers,  markets and much more, mostly in and around the Djemma El Fna – the square of the dead. This shot was taken just outside the famous square.

What I like about this place is that it probably hasn’t changed in 1000 years and hopefully it probably won’t change for another 1000 more

Marrakesh or Marrakech? I always write Marrakesh. Anyway – I love Islamic Architecture and design. This was taken at a palace in Marrakesh in 2007.

In the centre of Marrakesh old town is the Djemaa El Fna (or Square of the Dead as it is known in English.) At night, the square is packed with street traders, hawkers, entertainers and snake charmers. I found these two food sellers who were only too happy to pose for a photograph.
