Na fotce ostatnie chwile z Maroko 🩷 bardzo mi się tu podoba, wymieniłam się kontaktami z obsługą bufetu, wyściskali nas, powiedzieli że nas bardzo polubili. Chcę im wysłać paczuszkę z Polski w podzięce. Ludzie tu są serdeczni, choć handlarze namolni i trochę naciągają lol, więc polecam się targować, przemoc na ulicach - ani razu przez tydzień nie zauważyłam przemocowej sytuacji, zero pijanych ludzi na ulicach, bardzo mała ilość bezdomnych osób (tak, chodziliśmy po nieturystycznych częściach miasta), kobiety zakrywają w większości ciało i włosy, ale nie widać tu dyskryminacji, wszędzie zakochane w sobie pary i czuć, że kobiety są ważne w tej kulturze. Piękna przyroda, wspaniałe słońce, polecam przygodę w Maroko każdemu 🩷

📍 Ourika River, Setti Fatma (Sti Fadma), Marrakech, Morocco.

A great day out by the Ourika River at Sti Fadma (Setti Fatma) on the outskirts of Marrakech.

Take a shared taxi from Marrakech (not far from the Grand Taxi (see map location below), around the corner from the Grand Hotel Tazi) at 30 dirhams per person each way for 6 people or book the whole taxi for a day trip (approx 400 - 500 dirhams depending on your bartering power).

We climbed up 2 of the waterfalls then made our way back down and had lunch at one of the little cafe seating areas set directly into the river.

For the return back into Marrakech, we took the local bus from close to where our taxi dropped us at the start.

The first bus took us to Ourika itself and from there, we changed to the number 25 ALSA bus, which took us right back into the city centre and just outside of the gate into the medina near to our riad (Dar Moulay Ali).
