Photographs van Morocco, September 2003

Photographs van Morocco, September 2003

Teije lived and worked in Morocco for half a year in the 90s and now we go together to the city he likes best, the metropolis Marrakesh with the famous Jemaa el-Fna square. It is September but still very hot and we have a hotel outside the famous city gates of the city. It is only a pity that our luggage arrives a day later than we do. For Elisabeth it is the first introduction to Africa and an Arab country, very different from the European countries.
Here all all the photographs of this journey that we use on the website.
