Day Two was started at Ben Youssef Madrasa- only after we again followed a stranger who said he would take us to Ben Youssef. He ended up leading us to a random rug shop. All was forgotten as soon as we stepped into the old Islamic college. It was an incredible sight to see. The building was covered in marble, engraved inscriptions & geometric patterns.

Afterwards, we went back to the souks for a bit of shopping & had lunch in a cute cafe in Jemaa el-Fna. We ended the day with a traditional Moroccan hammam scrub & massage, where we laid in a sauna-type room & covered with black clay. Once washed off, we were intensely scrubbed down & then rinsed off with cold water- we could feel our dead skin sliding off us. Afterwards, we were clothed in robes and offered tea before laying down again for a massage with Moroccan argan oils.
