Doors 323 – Doors of Marrakesh, Morocco, January 2025 (Part IV)
For those of you who have been following this series of doors from Marrakesh, this week’s offering might feel a little bit ‘samey’, as they are more doors from the narrow lanes in the southern end of the Medina in Marrakesh. This whole area is enough to drive a door enthusiast into meltdown. It seems that each and every door is unique and very personal to the dwelling behind it, unlike in the suburbs of British (and other) towns and cities, where uniformity is more the norm.
Most of these doors were all photographed during an early morning walk on my own, which meant I didn’t need to tone down my enthusiasm to appease my wife and daughter, who get a little tired of my incessant fascination with doors. Keywords – Pinky-red walls, carvings, unique. I hope you enjoy them:
So that’s it for another week. If you miss this, it doesn’t really matter, because there is plenty more to come in the coming weeks. My only hope it that it doesn’t get too boring – although things do hot up a bit before too long.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s weekly Thursday Doors post.

Don’t worry about this becoming boring. I like this collection. My favorite is that tall slim studded door. The rooftop cafe looks like a very nice place to chill for a while.

Great photos and doors, Stephen. I find them all wonderfully unique, no sameness at all. Love the door with the bike out in front. That bike is well cared for, impeccable tidiness.
Love the rooftop photo; the sunlight adds that special vibrant mood that is unique to the history of this great ancient yet modern city.
You know, it occurred to me from looking at the doors and the immediate space around several of them. The doors seem, to me, to be ‘newer’ constructions than the surrounding wall; for some, like the door with the bike, there are marked impressions that the wall was shaped to fit the door after the fact. Others have shadows in the pinkish paint that show that the space around the door (the pair and trio of doors, for example), was smoothed to seamlessly blend into the newer door. So amazing. But these are just my thoughts…It could just be my imagination.
Great and again an enjoyable share, truly. Thank you, Stephen!

Some more great observations from you. Yes, it looks like some replacement doors have disrupted the painted plasterwork around them, giving that ‘repaired’ look.
Took some very English photographs over the last couple of days, which I will share in due course.
