Thursday doors – 9 October 2025 – continuing Marrakesh doors

Doors 327 – Doors of Marrakesh, Morocco, January 2025 (Part VII)

This week’s selection of door photographs continues on from last week’s solo doorscursion which I managed to squeeze in on one of the mornings of our trip, accompanied on the way by a little light rain.

One of the things that is notable about doors in Marrakesh is that it would seem that the occupants are extremely proud of their doors and door surroundings. Even though the streets are a little untidy with exposed wires and power lines, everywhere and an abundance of dust and rubble, much of it probably after effects of the destructive earthquake in September 2023, great care is taken to present a good-looking entrance to homes and businesses. Enjoy the doors:

As a note to myself, I will probably do a post of the Marrakesh cats (and a door or two) and some other street scenes at some point, to give more of a taste of the place. I hope you have a great weekend.

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 fromย Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Antonโ€™s weekly Thursday Doors post.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

  1. Thank you, Stephen, for the beautiful tour series on Marrakesh. I loved the metal doors with studs and the one with tiles and metal grill work at Trik Tikhizrit.

    The green door at Number 30 is all kinds of wonderful…balance color pattern and geometry. I love it.
    Yes, to cats as per your note to self. I would love that.

    Great share, Stephen. Thank you. Have a wonderful day. Bless you.
