Marrakech Solo Travel Guide

December 9, 2019 By Hangry Backpacker Leave a Comment

Solo travel in Marrakech can feel like a daunting task. It may seem like a risky affair, but is it? Traveling solo in Marrakech isn’t inherently dangerous, but it is exhausting. 

Marrakech solo travel street view koutoubia mosque

A walk through the winding streets of the Marrakech medina is a sensory overload. Peculiar, picturesque scenes around every tiny corner are distracting. The intoxicating smell of Moroccan food, in all of its underrated glory, combined with whiffs of (what I assume is) sewage or donkey excrement, adds another level of intrigue. The sound of motorbikes, construction, music and, of course, touts yelling at passing tourists adds another layer to the complex nature of Marrakech.  [Read more…] about Marrakech Solo Travel Guide

I love a good view! This one, from the Clock Tower I love a good view! This one, from the Clock Tower of Tirana, offers great views over Skanderbeg Square.

From the top, you can see that Tirana is different than what people may assume. It's green and lively with a mountain backdrop, modern and historic at the same time.

The Church of St. Michael, Berat. This tiny Orthod The Church of St. Michael, Berat. This tiny Orthodox church sits on the cliffside between old town and Berat Castle. Though it isn't the most majestic church, it dates back to the Byantine era of the 14th Century and has great views.

The walk up may be difficult for some, but it's easier and shorter than it appears from street level. To my surprise, only a few other people were up there the whole time we were looking around.

Another historic city in Albania, Berat's history goes back thousands of years. Today, it is most famous for its historic center, specifically the ruined castle and the architecture of its buildings. The stone buildings that climb up the hillside have a distinctive look with tile roofs, stone/white facades and, of course, a lot of big windows. More Berat coming soon!
