With snow on the horizon, CarrieMe decided to make a final run
for some sun before winter truly sets in! CarrieMe travelled to Marrakech last week - the
hustling, bustling, vibrant city of Morocco.
The hotel riad which we stayed at was located in the old
part of Marrakech, full of cool architectural buildings and traditional customs
such as souks, horse and cart riding, music and other entertainment. The old
city featured lots of character and colour. Our hotel was tucked away within a maze
of intertwining narrow passageways.
Of course we made sure to travel in true CarrieMe style,
with the Snowball bag hook! This bag hook came in very handy while in the
hotel -see picture below, and while out and about. This suede and leather
leopard print backpack was purchased while bartering in one of the local
Marrakech markets, but you can buy a similar style from here.
CarrieMe took part in a camel trek through the Sahara desert
which was a fun experience. Although sleeping under the stars in the Sahara
desert, with only a tent and campfire for company was definitely the one place
our CarrieMe bag hook was not needed on this trip!

On route to trekking in the Sahara we visited 'Ouarzazate'
a small city in South Morocco. This peaceful place where the desert begins has
a trail of impressive views of rich colours and ancient houses which have no
electricity or running water. Ouarzazate is very hot in the summer around 50
degrees average, and very cold in the winter with snow sweeping down from the High
Atlas mountain, we’re glad we got it just right visiting mid-seasons! We were led
through a dusty trial of bewildering buildings, and what seemed like secret passageways - where episodes
of the TV series ‘Game of Thrones’ were set, along with films ‘Lawrence of
Arabia’ and ‘Babel’.
On the last few days of the holiday we discovered a charming
little chill out café come bar called ‘Momo Afrika’ in the new city, Gueliz.
Momo Afrika served great tasty food - A mixture of Moroccan and Southern
American. We would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area! Can
you spot the CarrieMe Snowball @Momo Afrika?
