The bus ride back to Marrakech took the afternoon. We checked into the hotel and rested a bit, and as a group we walked into the old town at night.
We had dinner at the top floor of a restaurant overlooking the Jamal el Fnaa square.
The next day everyone in group went their separate ways.
Celene and I walked to the other side of the old town, to another kind of touristy area which has the royal palace, and the Saadine tombs. The mosque with the tombs dates back to the 12th century. There was an garden and buildings with incredibly ornate geometrical patterns.
The next day - our last in Morocco - we went back to the artisan co-op and bought souvenirs. We packed to get ready for the early morning flight the following day.
At night we went to a Jewish Moroccan restaurant near the hotel. Interesting because it was the first day of Hanukkah. People came in selling menorahs, the candle holders, and wish us happy Hanukkah.
