Morocco is a fascinating country and a paradise for both professional and amateur photographers. It’s vast landscapes and variety of scenarios are a great photo opportunity. If one of your worries while in Morocco and while in Marrakesh is that you might not find films or camera batteries, the fact you’re reading this probably will make you more relax.

Yes there are a few good professional photo stores in Marrakesh’s new district. For the amateurs where just a quick film will be OK, you can actually get them in the old Medina center as basically every store sells Kodak and Fuji films of 24 and 32 photos. APS films are also available in most of the shops in the main square. If you’re a digital photographer, you can get memory cards in a few shops in town. In the new part but also in the old Medina. Prices are about the same you would pay in Europe.

Marrakesh has lots of monuments where ancient kingdoms left great examples of unique architecture still available and holding strong for us to visit.

The main problem with photography in Morocco is the developing. You should avoid those photo developing shops in Djemaa el-Fna main square as quality is a concern. You might get bad luck to have your pictures all blurred or with a strange lack of paint white layer on. The worst are the negatives. If you do chose to develop you films while in Marrakesh make sure you go to the new part of town and find a decent shop, the ones you’re used to back home.

Due to the great buildings found in the old medina and souks, Marrakesh Photos come out great and will make a great travel souvenir from your visit to this amazing city.
