Just an ordinary economist who loves leatherworking, photography and video. Love cooking. Eating I love even more. I travel. I drink as well

Dear Coilers, my 8th day of the trip was just chilling by the hotel pool. As The Sahara trip was pretty exhausting I needed a proper rest day.

This article will be kind of a recapitulation, part 1, of the trip, thru photos to enjoy the feeling and atmosphere of Morocco, wonderful Northern African kingdom.

Streets of Marrakech are full of people the whole day, especially from the sunset till midnight.

RIAD is a type of accommodation characteristic for Morocco, generally small, personally run “boutique hotels”. They generally have less than 10 rooms too. By nature, they are multi-level in design, built around an open courtyard with trees/ plants and a water feature (small pool or fountain, or both) and usually have a rooftop terrace.

El Badi palace (sometimes spelled El Badiî palace or El Badia, literally “Palace of the incomparable”) is an architectural ensemble built at the end of the sixteenth century. Former palace, it was built by the Saadian sultan Ahmed al-Mansur Dhahbi to celebrate the victory over the Portuguese army, in 1578, in the battle of the Three Kings.

Saadian Tombs located next to the mosque of the Kasbah, the Saadian tombs are one of the only remains of the Saadian dynasty that reigned over the golden age of Marrakech between 1524 to 1659. In the early 18th century, Sultan Moulay Ismail had indeed decided to remove all traces of the magnificence of this dynasty by demanding the destruction of all remaining vestiges. He dared not, however, commit the sacrilege of destroying their burials and ordered that the entrance to the necropolis should be sealed.

Jemaa el Fna is the main square in Marrakech. It is not just a tourist attraction since many locals also enjoy the activities that make Djemaa el Fna come alive. During the day, the square has numerous stalls, most of which sell fresh fruit juice, water and fruit. Visitors are also able to take photographs of the snake charmers, but the performers request a small fee in exchange for a photo. The snack stalls and relaxed atmosphere makes it hard to believe that at night there is almost no place to stand as the Djemaa el Fna fills up to capacity.

Dear Coiles, editing and writing this article a few hours later than I thought to but due to “technical” problems I’m publishing it from a van Somewhere in Morocco near the border with Algeria.

The night passed in the hotel in Tinghir, which was pretty much ok (4 stars it holds) apart from one thing – they don’t change bedding. They count on that their guests are overpolite foreigners who don’t complain, but they didn’t count on politically incorrect Croat with rude Balkanic attitude after many hours in a van under the hot desert sun. I came to the reception in that UFC t-shirt I’ve got from Stipe Miočić and looking at receptionist straight in the eyes with that DeNiro look and 106 kilos I said: GIVE – ME – TWO – CLEAN – SHEETS, ROOM 235!

3,5 minutes later the guy knocked at the door and gave me what should have been on bed already.

The journey started with a drive along the road of 1001 Kasbah to Ouasis of Tinghir, and then to a minor road driving along the river to Todra canyons.

Situated on the east side of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, the Todra Gorge is recognized around the world as one of the most spectacular canyons.

Here, both the Todra and Dades Rivers have carved out cliff-sided canyons on their final 25-mile stretch through the mountains, leaving behind this series of reliefs and etches in the rock. The Todra is the name of the last 600 meters (just under 2,000 feet) of the canyons. In places, this gorge measures just 33 feet across, but the cliffs are more than 500 feet tall on either side. The river has since dried up, leaving only the imagination to picture the powerful natural forces that once carved this region.

After some 15 minutes spent in enjoying the immensity of the hugecliffs, we continued, early in the afternoon, to Rissani, famous for its date market (which we haven’t seen) and for being a starting point of the ancient trading caravans crossing the Sahara desert to Tomboctou.

We stopped at some rathole made out of mud which has the table in front on which are written some letters spelled like this: restaurant. Ok, so they are wannabe restaurant. And the menu is a wannabe menu. I didnt want to order anything but I’ve eaten a salad which they’ve brought by mistake (no pic of food this time). That was a wannabe lunch. Luckily it was finished pretty fast so we continued further to Merzouga driving through some rocky desert landscape.

Upon arrival at the edge of Erg Chebbi dunes, we met our camel caravan, and rode the camels through the amazing color-changing sand dunes with the sunset in the horizon as a backdrop.

We reached our Sahara Desert camp, nestled in the middle of nowhere just before darkness.

After some time which I used to admire the sand dunes and the surrounding landscapes, I was ready for a Moroccan dinner served under the stars next to a camp fire.

The dinner was sufficient and traditional. Nothing special but nice due to the whole atmosphere. Open fire, local hosts playing drums and singing, people dancing... had added to the atmosphere.

After the dinner, during which I’ve murdered a big cockroach, we climbed the dunes to observe a night sky full of stars. No light pollution makes the sky look like from the astronomical photos.

That cant be described, things like that have to be seen and enjoyed live.

Thanks for reading,

Dear Coilers, as the itinerary of my trip to Morocco has changed, the trip to Sahara desert came on the 6th day instead of the 3rd. But it hasn’t run away so while I’m writing this article I am in bed in a hotel in Tinghir.

It is a 3 day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga and the 1st day ends in Tinghir.

We departed from Marrakech early in the morning And headed to Ait-Ben-Haddou through Tizi-Nticha Pass and the High Atlas Mountains

The road is not of the best in the world but the government tries hard to improve the situation so many construction work is seen all along the way.

Many stops were made along the way to make the trip a bit more pleasant.

Next stop was Kasbah Ait-Ben-Haddou, a village/town from the UNESCO World Heritage list made in a form of KSAR.

The town is very popular among filmmakers and it served as a set for various movies and series such as Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Mummy, Prince of Persia and many many other.

Located in the foothills on the southern slopes of the High Atlas in the Province of Ouarzazate, the site of Ait-Ben-Haddou is the most famous ksar in the Ounila Valley. The Ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou is a striking example of southern Moroccan architecture.

The ksar is a mainly collective grouping of dwellings. Inside the defensive walls which are reinforced by angle towers and pierced with a baffle gate, houses crowd together – some modest, others resembling small urban castles with their high angle towers and upper sections decorated with motifs in clay brick – but there are also buildings and community areas. It is an extraordinary ensemble of buildings offering a complete panorama of pre-Saharan earthen construction techniques. The oldest constructions do not appear to be earlier than the 17th century, although their structure and technique were propagated from a very early period in the valleys of southern Morocco.

The site was also one of the many trading posts on the commercial route linking ancient Sudan to Marrakesh by the Dra Valley and the Tizi-n'Telouet Pass. Architecturally, the living quarters form a compact grouping, closed and suspended. The community areas of the ksar include a mosque, a public square, grain threshing areas outside the ramparts, a fortification and a loft at the top of the village, an caravanserai, two cemeteries (Muslim and Jewish) and the Sanctuary of the Saint Sidi Ali or Amer. The Ksar of Ait- Ben-Haddou is a perfect synthesis of earthen architecture of the pre-Saharan regions of Morocco.

After mini tour Arround the town we had a lunch which is not worth mentioning.

We continued to Ouazazate and Kasbah Taourirte and continued the drive to Tinghir via the valley of the roses.

Came to hotel in Tinghir just after sunset, had a dinner, a walk through the town arround the hotel and back in room to compose this article.

Going to sleep because early in the morning we head to Sahara. Hope you will join me,

Dear Coilers, the 5th day of the Morocco trip has come. In Essaouira till 5 p.m. when I catch the bus for Marrakech.

The breakfast was served on the rooftop of the riad I had booked. Standard Moroccan stuff, fresh orange juice, Rgaïf which is traditional Moroccan flatbread, some sesame bread, various jams like fig and apricot, butter, mint tea... and after breakfast (late one thou, 10a.m.) it was time to see the things I’ve missed yesterday.

As Essaouira is also famous for its fishing boats port as well as the fish market, The market is the “must see” sight.

As on every other fish market, the smell is... you know. But the selection of the “frutti di mare” compensates the negativities. Blue fishing boats add to the overall atmosphere and make the sight much more pleasant.

Just outside the fish port/market there are several restaurants (let’s call them restaurants but they are more stalls with benches) which serve the fish directly from the market. The prices in Essaouira are much lower than in Marrakech which is relatively cheap for an average European. My eyes caught few lobsters in one of them and the guy working there asked will I take one?! Ive said I have to climb the walls first but maybe I will come back. He said 300 dirham per kilo (30€~33$) thou the price on the price list was 400. I said ok, perhaps we will see each other again.

So I have climbed to the walls which surround the whole medina and are very representtive defence walls from the days when the most powerful weapons were big cannons. And on the walls of Essaouira there are MANY of them. Looking straight to the Atlantic Ocean waiting for new enemy to come.

Down from the walls and back to the narrow streets of medina which among other shops have a lot of art galleries. The town hosts well known music festival and is a place which gathers manny members of the alternative subcultures from arround the world. Jimmy Hendrix was one of them and he was fascinated with the town so these days you can see many of his replicas rumbling the streets.

It was time to eat so I decided to go back to the fish market to see if the lobsters are still available. And they were, one big and few smaller. But as lobster would be not enough I have taken a fistful od small calamari and a fistful of shrimps. The guy added few sardines over it.

The lunch was great. It cost 400 dirham (40€) including bread, salad and a drink. In my country, Croatia, on the Adriatic coast, that meal would cost at least 3-4 times more, in Dubrovnik probably 6-7 times...

With packed belly, and still 3 hours before the return to Marrakech, I have decided to visit few rug shops I have noticed. Moroccan Berber rugs are world famous, and, among them, Beni Ourain rugs are on the top of the sought after list.

As on every travel I buy 1 souvenir for myself, I try to buy real, authentic and good one.

(Not mine, one from the sellers)

Berber rugs are expensive and there are many “good” quality replicas but as I spent hours and hours studying them, I knew what i wanted.

I ended with one medium size rug. ALL wool (do not listen to those who tell you it can be mixed with cotton or whatever else) nice pattern, not standard rhomboid one. But as I was concentrated to choose good stuff I have forgotten to take a pic before it was packed.

Btw, Essaouira features as the city on Slaver’s Bay, Astapor which is best known for its ‘unsullied’ inhabitants who Daenerys Targaryen famously releases.

The time went by and 5p.m. came fastly. On a bus for Marrakech to pack and prepare for the 3 day Sahara desert trip tomorrow.

I hope to catch some internet connection on the way so i can post day 6 tomorrow.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this one,

Dear Coilers, today I take you to Essaouira, a coastal town on the Atlantic Ocean, 3 hours bus ride west of Marrakech.

The bus ticket, one way, is 80 dirham (8€/9$) and the trip is very pleasant due to good busses from the state company Supratours.

During those three hours we passed through several small towns and villages with big plantations of Argan trees, seeds from which the world known Argan oil is produced.

https://youtu.be/dNLXAct0MDE

Essaouira, or Mogador is located on the western coast of Morocco. It is a small, sleepy town that has gained some prominence lately as a getaway from Marrakech. Today, the city retains a small-town feel but it wasn’t always this way as Essaouira has very rich history which will be covered in the part for subscribers.

Ive booked a room in riad within the walls of medina. It has high marks on review pages and it is not bad accomodation but i must say that the owner has a bit odd taste.

It was time for lunch so the next point had to be fish market in medina. Essaouira is famous fishermen’s town with rich offer of fresh fish which you can buy at the market and give it to people who will prepare it for you. The prices are more than fair, boh the fish and the service of preparing it.

Fully packed tummy asked for a short rest in riad before going to the beach. And Essaouira has The beach. Hundereds of meters of wide sand beach as a bank of the Atlantic. Atlantic Ocean is cold. And muddy. Brownish. Its a sewer as a fact.

Then came the time for a coffee in a beach bar, going back to riad to take a shower before evening rumbling thru the town and street food dinner before bed.

https://youtu.be/dNLXAct0MDE

Tomorrow I will wisit town walls and most probably go to have fish lunch at the market before return to Marrakech.

Thanks for reading,

Srdan

Dear Coilers, the itinerary has changed, as i thought it might. I have planned Sahara desert trip for today but it is delayed till 3rd of October so new plan was to stay in Marrakech today and to take 2 day trip to Essauira tomorrow.

The rumbling thru Marrakech on a day 2 you can see here. https://coil.com/p/Bauhauswerk/Travel-Trip-To-Morocco-A-Diary-Day-2/T8K3X6PCY

So Ive decided to visit few sights today.

The first were Saadian Tombs.

Located next to the mosque of the Kasbah, the Saadian tombs are one of the only remains of the Saadian dynasty that reigned over the golden age of Marrakech between 1524 to 1659. In the early 18th century, Sultan Moulay Ismail had decided to remove all traces of the magnificence of this dynasty by demanding the destruction of all remaining vestiges. He dared not, however, to commit the sacrilege of destroying their burials and ordered that the entrance to the necropolis should be sealed. The secret remained well kept until 1917, date of the rediscovery of the site of the Saadian tombs.

https://youtu.be/BS4lff4zTjw

(2:07 video of Saadian Tombs)

Next stop was Le Jardin Majorelle, beautiful botanical garden connected to the Villa Oasis and its garden.

The Villa Oasis was built by the painter Jacques Majorelle. Beginning in 1980, it became the home of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé.

https://youtu.be/xrZzwvVqz40

(3:09 video of Le Jardin Majorelle)

Just half a minute walk down the street from Le Jardin Majorelle, Yves Saint Laurent Museum took place.

During forty years of work, Yves Saint Laurent developed a style that was his own. By accompanying the liberation of women, the many iconic garments he designed have become part of the history of the 20th century. The pea coat, trench coat, ‘smoking’, pantsuit and safari jacket became integral to a woman’s everyday wardrobe. At the same time, Yves Saint Laurent was the last of the grand couturiers who dominated the extraordinary epoch of haute couture. In his sublime evening dresses one sees references to painting, literature, the theatre and street fashion. The two museums bearing his name reveal he was indeed a great artist of his generation.

The “Musée YVES SAINT LAURENT marrakech” occupies 4000 square meters building. It includes a 400 sq meters of permanent exhibition space devoted to the work of Yves Saint Laurent and is designed by Christophe Martin.

The museum also includes a hall for temporary exhibitions, a research library with over 5000 volumes, a 140-seat auditorium, bookshop and terrace café.

Taking photos and filming in temporary exhibitions area is forbiden but... I bring few shots to Coilers...

(2:51 video of Museum YSL)

As it was 42 Celsius in Marrakech today, I decided to go back to riad and take a rest in a pool and terrace on the rooftop untill the dinner time comes.

For dinner i just wanted meat so I have paid a visit to L’assiette Du Boucher which offers a selection of traditional Moroccan dishes together with some western style grilled suff. I have ordered a traditional Moroccan soup, Harira, as a starter followed by a plate of meat. I have ordered french fries with it but I wont tell you that.

Tomorrow is a next day so the next article is coming. This time from Essauira.

Thank you for reading and watching,

Dear Coilers, after 2 restless days i have finaly slept. Posted day 1 article at 1:30am and... blackout...

https://coil.com/p/Bauhauswerk/Travel-Trip-To-Morocco-A-Diary-Day-1/kxrjRdkDS

(Link to day one article. As editing coil articles on mobile devices is not the best experience (yet) i have to post full links)

Woke up at 8:30 and came downstairs for a breakfast which was served on the groundfloor, not on the rooftop where they usualy serve it. but i guess it would be too hot to eat there anyway as today the temperature will go as high as 42 Celsius.

It is SO SO SO HOT in the streets of Marrakech. Luckily, a must see sight is just out of the city walls, 50 meters from a riad I stay in. It is El Badi Palace.

The El Badi palace (sometimes spelled El Badiî palace or El Badia, “Palace of the incomparable”) is an architectural ensemble built at the end of the sixteenth century.

Former palace, it was built by the Saadian sultan Ahmed al-Mansur Dhahbi to celebrate the victory over the Portuguese army, in 1578, in the battle of the Three Kings. Today, there remains only a huge esplanade carved gardens, planted with orange trees and surrounded by high walls. In 1696, the Alawite sultan Moulay Ismaïl took what was richest in this palace to build the imperial city of Meknes leaving El Badia with empty walls.

https://youtu.be/qHHzjmA3qh4

(2:44 video of El Badi Palace)

After walking thru the palace and sweating a life out, I have tried to visit Saadian tombs which are close to El Badi Palace but were closed so ive decided to take a rest on a hotel rooftop before going to city center for a dinner.

Took a different route to Jemaa El Fna Square to pass thru the park of Koutoubia Mosque, Minaret of which is the tallest building in the city and no building can be built higher than it.

Then back to yesterday evening spot, Jemaa El Fna, but this time at 5:30pm which means that it is rather empty, waiting for sunset so it starts living, restaurants preparing food as well as the street food stalls on the square where I wanted to try tajine, traditional moroccan dish.

As there was still enough time till they start cooking, I decided to have my iphone repaired. As my front glass broke i asked a guy in a shop where I have bought SIM card for the price and he said 350 dirham (35€). I said ok but I want front protective glass for free... and we agreed. (In Croatia they would charge me 4 times more.) He said come in an hour and a half so I climbed to one of the rooftop bars/restaurants on the square to have a drink and catch the sight of the square from a different angle.

https://youtu.be/lq8mXJ5uIII

(A minute video of Jemaa El Fna)

A dinner was ok, beef tajine plus a bit of this and a bit of that...

Back to riad for an easy evening on the rooftop to write this article. On the way back I have bought some local sweets to enjoy them with mint tea which I am sipping while writing this words.

Thats day 2 of my Morocco diary for Coil, I hope you like it and can feel the atmosphere of this remarkable place.

Before I start... I am writing this at 1am after 2 days without any sleep so this one will be short but I bring you 3 videos which took me some time to edit

Dear Coilers, the day has come...

After a night without any sleep, as I had problems with backing iphone up and it decided it should update ios by itself without asking me, Ive left Zagreb at 6am and at 11:30 I was welcomed by rainy, misty, foggy Vienna.

Bus trip passed as every other, AC too strong, music playing all the way, Asians eating, some kid throwing up...

Then ive took a flight to Marrakech

https://youtu.be/Y4mfRresAdU

(3:53 video of a flight Vienna – Marrakech)

Marrakech was 38 degrees Celsius today so leaving cooled airport was a bit of a shock. After i wanted to take a taxi to a riad in which ive booked a room ive remembered that i have to exchange dollar and euro into dirhams. The rate is about 10dirhams for 1 euro.

Taxi drivers, every each one of them, asked 100 dirham for the transfer from the airport to riad which is 5 minute walk from Jemaa El Fna, the main square in Marrakech.

https://youtu.be/LL2nqG5QSbY

(3:13 video of a drive thru Marrakech)

After taking a shower I took a walk to the main square in Marrakech, Jemaa El Fna to find something to eat.

I will try to cover the square in an article tomorrow but here is a video so you can feel a bit of the atmosphere there.

Dear Coilers, Im taking you to Morocco, northern African kingdom which is the point of my next travel.

This one will be my first trip after ive joined Coil platform and I plan to cover it as a diary with a new post every day which will be covered by pics and videos. As a member of the XRP Community, ive started writing on Coil to support XRP ecosystem and this will be my first abroad trip exclusively covered for Coil.

The trip will start in Zagreb, Croatia from which I will go to Vienna, the capital of Austria to take the flight to Marrakech, Morocco.

The preparation started by booking the flight. After it, I have booked bus tickets from Zagreb to Vienna and back, as well as the tickets from Erdberg, Vienna bus terminal, to the airport and back.

The last thing is booking of accomodation in Marrakech, and why I do it as the last thing is explained in one of my Travel! blogs on Coil https://coil.com/p/Bauhauswerk/Travel-It-is-an-investment-not-an-expenss/am50EGhqY in the part for Coil subscribers.

In 12 days in Morocco, Im gonna have a base in Marrakech with few trips from it. One will be a 3 days trip to Sahara desert during which a few interesting spots will be visit. Another planed trip will be to Essaouira, the town on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean which I plan to be a 2 days trip and perhps one more 1 day trip somewhere else.

(Me in Sahara desert, the other end of it thou)

As well, I plan to taste local food as the food keeps all of us going thru our lives and local food is one of the ways to find out more about the countries we visit.

As the trip, just like all of my trips,, is not sponsored, I am going to give you my honest thoughts without obligation to say something is positive even if it is not. Here, i have to thank Coil for boosters which have financed some of the equipement which will be used to boost the visual quality of my posts.

I hope you will support me by reading my posts. I will try to bring quality content to Coil and make you feel like you are there with me.

The diary will be backed up with all mobile pics and videos as DSLR photos will be published after I am back as it will be complicated to edit RAW files there. Luckily, Zhiyun Smooth 4 gimbal and FiLMiC Pro app will help mobile video shooting so at least that will be well covered. BMPCC wont be of any use for this type of a diary.

I hope you will find it interesting and read my daily posts,

Dear Coilers, I bring you an article about edible souvenir from Zagreb, Croatia together with a gift for a lucky Coil subscriber. As well, amount from micropayments from this article will be transfered to the XRP Community Fund, which will give our 2 cents for developement of the story we all belive in.

Licitar is a colorfuly decorated honey dough cake shaped originaly as heart but got other shapes thru time. From the distant past the secrecy of licitar making has been preserved within the family of gingerbread crafts from the central and lowland of Croatia. Although entirely made of edible ingredients, at first it brings joy for eyes and soul. Traditionally it is of bright red color and produced in various shapes and sizes. Small size licitars (heart, cherry, doll, small bird, mushroom, horse-shoe, small wreath, horse) are favorite decoration of Christmas trees in Croatian homes, whereas the large size licitars are created for giving as a gift to the loved ones at special occasions. A young man giving a heart shaped licitars to his girlfriend to express this love and devotion to her is a custom deeply rooted in the Croatian traditional heritage. The St. Valentine’s Day, the largest holiday of those in love, is a special occasion for such sign of attention. This custom has been portrayed in the famous baler “Licitar heart” by Krešimir Baranović performed on stages throughout the world.

The tradition of licitar making dates back to the Middle Ages, especially to the 16th and 17th century when cakes in richly decorated wooden moulds were made in many European convents. In the Easter Alps region, such tradition of cake making soon grew into a craft, which was gradually spreading to the other Central European regions, when it also came to the Pannonian parts of Croatia. In the 18th and 19th Century, in the towns of Zagreb, Karlovac, Koprivnica, Samobor, Varaždin and elsewhere, licitar makers were reputable craftsmen, and their products favorite among members of all social classes. Here, craftsmen were making dough and wax products such as licitars, gingerbread cakes, candles, wax votive gifts and drinks such as “gvirc” and mead. Since their early days, these products have been sold at open markets and parish fairs related to church festivals. Thanks to licitars producers, the stalls with gingerbread and mead products provided picturesqueness and special atmosphere.

Colorfully decorated cakes made of honey dough, such as licitars, one may find throughout central Europe, and even further. In Austria and Germany these cakes are named Lebkuchen or Lebzelter (this is where the Croatian word “licitars” originates from), in Czech Republic it is perník, in Slovakia medovník, in Slovenia lect and so on. Although all of them have the common origin, licitars from the Northwest Croatia assumed with the time specific and unique features, such as bright red glaze and characteristic decoration. Therefore, it is no wonder why licitars today grew into a unique symbol not only of the Northwest Croatia, but also the symbol of the entire Croatia.

These days, one may find licitars, apart from open markets and parish fairs, also in souvenir shops and exclusive traditional gifts shops.

How important licitar is for Zagreb and Croatia is best seen in the attempts of the Croatian Government to include licitars into the UNESCO list of the world nonmaterial cultural heritage.

For you dear Coilers, I have paid a visit to the workshop of Mario Nokaj, master jewler and goldsmith. He designed a line of jewlery inspired by Licitar and he made one silver licitar heart to be given to one lucky Coil subscriber.

Ive made a video of the process of making that heart which you can see by following this Cinnamon link:

https://creators.cinnamon.video/bauhauswerk/watch?v=149014518440133758

The Golden licitar is an unique fusion of tradition, a symbol of love and modernity, presented as a wearable and powerful piece of jewelry.

https://youtu.be/hnU-bZdULgA

As a heart has always been, and always will be, a symbol of who we are and of love as the most beautiful raison d’être. We pass this love on from generation to generation making it become a tradition. And there is no better way of passing the Croatian tradition on than by using a Licitar. Mario used this tradition as the main idea when creating the Golden licitar.

Thank you for reading,

Srdan
