Marrakech and Essaouira

My current project is a new book on Marrakech, Essaouira and the Atlas for Footprint. It will use some of the research I did last year for Footprint Morocco, but I just spent two weeks out there finding some new places, taking new photos and meeting some great (and really useful) people.

I stayed in some amazing places too, as well as doing the obligatory camel ride, dawn swim in the Atlantic and shoe haggling. Unfortunately my balloon ride was cancelled, but I did get to the Gnaoua Festival and up into the mountains to an ancient ruined mosque and several spectacular kasbahs.

As well as the selection below, I’ve added a web album of some of my photos.

UPDATE: Marrakech has finally gone to press. Using almost exclusively my photos it will be out by the end of the year – you can pre-order it in the shop.
