For my 21st, I decided to go away with my sister. I fancied something a little unconventional and completely different to anywhere I had been before as everywhere I have been has been reasonably easy going when it comes to cultural and language barriers.
We stayed in the most beautiful Riad, called Riad Azzar which was run by a lovely Dutch couple. They're called Riads because they are inwards facing because of the heat and have the garden in the centre of the property. Really bizarre. They gave up their jobs and stressful city lives and decided to start running the Riad, which meant it was a complete sanctuary; No internet, no TV, nothing but books and beautiful food.
It was right in the heart of the medina, off a small side street... every street looked the same it was easy to get lost. I was a pro map reader by the end. The Souk (market) was absolutely huge, and at night looked like it might be on fire, with all the dust and bright orange light.
Some snaps of my travels....
Talented ladies.
