PACK YOUR EAR PLUGS AND REQUEST A BETTER LOCK ON THE DOOR
The other catch at Taghazoute is noise. Marrakech is a noisy place.
The street just a few paces from
the riad was super noisy -- it's sort of part of the charm of being near the
main square in the ancient Medina.
But there were lots of shop keepers and
others talking in the little alley outside the riad.
Also, was one floor above
the check in area, right on the stair case.
That meant even sounds from the
desk person jabbering with neighborhood friends, plus other guests climbing the
stairs -- were perfectly loud and clear to me.
I cranked up the fan on the AC
-- not enough. Plugged in my white noise machine -- still tossed and turned.
Finally, I found my industrial grade ear plugs.
That and realizing the old
Medina is not a quiet place till maybe 2 a.m. or later (I'm an early to bed, 10
p.m. guy) and just dealing with the local atmosphere -- finally made things
tranquil.
Some sound proofing would go a long way.
