A display of different spices in a Marrakesh souq

Regrettably this turns out to be a blurry image with suboptimal lighting, but it serves a memento of my visit to Marrakesh. The bazaar to the north of Djemaa el Fna is indeed a maze. Fortunately one can always find a way out by following the crowd. The only problem is that touts and faux guides permeate every corner of the medina, and they gather around unsuspecting tourists like vultures, especially when their preys appear isolated and lost. In my case, I managed to move my feet as fast as I could while constantly scanning my surroundings for any sign of trouble. It was a stressful yet intriguing experience.
