Henna and Moroccan Caftan Experience with Tea and Souvenir

From the moment Mariam met me on the street, she was glowing. She exudes a love for the city of Marrakesh and is more than happy to share her intimate knowledge and experiences. It happened to be just me on the tour, so she personally escorted me to her gorgeous riad, Minami. She brought out the traditional caftans, I tried on one, had a surprise iPhone photoshoot, then put on the caftan I wore for the rest of the afternoon. She walked me to the riad terrace, where I was served Moroccan mint tea on a beautifully arranged couch. Mariam showed me videos of Moroccan weddings and talked through the process of the henna and caftans worn at the occasions. There was a small delay with the henna, as Mariam does not apply the henna herself but has a roster of artists that will do your henna art. But it was fine because Mariam kept me satiated with homemade bread and coffee, and I picked her brain and asked her endless questions that she was more than happy to answer. Then the henna came and was even more gorgeous than I was expecting. I finally bid Mariam adieau and she walked me to my uber. The day after the experience, she even offered to answer any more questions I had about the city. You won’t regret indulging in this experience.
