Marrakech was my first experience in Morocco. For photography, it also ended up being my favorite in the country. While not being the easiest place for street photography, it makes up for it in the amount of life to capture. The colors, chaos, unique atmosphere and year-round sunlight make it a place I’d highly recommend to any photographers out there.
The only thing I would have changed about my time in Marrakech is make it longer. For cities I plan on returning to, it’s at the top of my list.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Marrakech…

Hi, I learned about your “misadventures” in Chefchaouen from a Moroccan news site and then came to have a look at your site! Wonderful pictures!!!! I know Marrakech very well (am British, but live in Italy and go to Marrakech 3 or 4 times a year, lucky me!) I have even had some exhibitions (Hands of Morocco, Moroccan Moments) but I have the advantage of knowing lots of people very well and living Marrakech “from the inside” as it were, being invited to weddings and so on. Would love to show you some of my photos, can I send them to an email address?

I was wondering why so many people were commenting on this post all of a sudden, what Moroccan news site was it? And you’re lucky, Marrakech is a great city to keep visiting. I know I’ll be back. About the photos, of course, you can show me at hello@fdwalker.com . Thanks for the comment, Joan, and cheers!
Thanks for your reply! Is there something missing from your email address?
I corrected it :)
I know it’s been three years since you posted, but I am just enjoying these now. I just returned from Morocco last month, a trip for the purpose of photography. You’re right that Marrakech is difficult to photograph in general – very busy, hard to find a clean background, and the fact that they don’t like to be photographed are all challenges. That being said these photos are great! My favorite is the one with the woman coming out from the curtained doorway. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Pam, I appreciate the comment and kind words! I hope you still enjoyed Marrakech, challenges included.
