Jörg Schleenbecker, born in Giessen , has been traveling to Morocco for over 35 years, exploring Marrakech, the vibrant trading metropolis on the edge of the High Atlas Mountains, with his camera on numerous photographic trips. During his extensive wanderings through the ancient alleyways of Marrakech and deep into the colorful souks of the Medina, he discovers new subjects and unique facets of oriental life in one of the most exciting places in the Maghreb.

Although Marrakech has changed rapidly in recent decades and now attracts numerous tourists from all over the world, the old, original Marrakech still exists. In the shadow of the mighty minaret of the venerable Koutoubia Mosque, hidden behind the reddish-hued mud walls of the winding old town and just a few steps off the beaten tourist track, the unique, enchanting colors of the old medina, the "Colors of Marrakech," still shine brightly.
