Jörg Schleenbecker, born in Gießen, has been traveling to North Africa's Morocco for over 35 years and has repeatedly explored Marrakech, the oriental trading metropolis on the edge of the High Atlas, with his camera on numerous photo journeys. During his extensive wanderings through the old alleys of Marrakech and deep into the colorful souks of the Medina, he constantly discovers new motifs and unique facets of oriental life in one of the most exciting places in the Maghreb on each of his trips.

Although Marrakech has changed rapidly in recent decades and now attracts numerous tourists from all over the world, there is still the old, original Marrakech.
