Doors 335 – Doors of Marrakesh, Morocco, January 2025 (Part XV)
You will be pleased to know I am sure that I am approaching the end of my series on doors of Marrakesh and will be done by Christmas. This week I return to the Medina after a couple of excursions and include one of my favourite doors of the whole trip (the feature door and first one in the post). These doors were photographed on another random walk through the backstreets of the city.
We managed to pack in so much into the week, and would have loved to have spent a little longer there, although it was the High Atlas mountains that I would return for in an instant, where the communities living and thriving on the edge of some stunning landscapes appealed to my love of nature and natural spaces.
I hope you enjoy this week’s selection:
That just about wraps it up for another week. Next time I find myself on an unplanned and unexpected excursion, sometimes the best kind, towards the north of the city, and a very long walk from our hotel. Until then, have a cracking 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 from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s weekly Thursday Doors post.

The two chairs and table in the first one talk of a whole lifestyle. Great selection.

I agree. It is one of those scenes that tells you something through the absence as much as the presence of objects/people.

This series could go on as long as you have photos, Steve. I’ve been nothing but impressed every week. You’ve shown us sights and doors I’m not likely to ever see in person. The doors within doors in this post are magical. I love the attention to detail and how they almost create an illusion between the “one door or two?” appearance.
I hope you have a great week/weekend.

Thank you for your kind words – made my day. I can’t help thinking that the other doors in my archive have a tough act to follow, once this series is done.

Stephen, your shares on Marrakesh are enjoyable for me. This is a place I have always wanted to visit and have never been. Feel free to share for as many weeks as you are led. I love all the doors. There is a sense of a postcard or snapshot of the way of life in Marrakesh in each one from the planters, the chairs, the studded doors, and the iconic tile patterns. The feature photo is superb, and all your images are framed with great lighting in mind. Another superb week of virtual travel presented, Stephen. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and observations. The variety of doors and the individual love and care put into each one is what has struck me the most

Lovely doors! They all look arabic.

I think that the vast majority of citizens of Marrakesh are Arab, although there are some Berbers who have settled there and, of course, some colonial ex-pats.
