If you were expecting a horse, you are going to be disappointed. The noble steed and workhorse, if you will, is none other than the donkey. Donkeys are
quite common on the streets of Marrakech. Vendors use donkey carts to carry the fruits and vegetables that they sell on the streets to passersby. Donkey carts make deliveries of produce to the
suqs, the open-air markets located throughout the city.
And don't be surprised if a store owner calls one of them to bring newly purchase items such as furniture and appliances to your house. If you ask nicely, you might be able to ride along. I have. The cart owner probably went home to tell his family about the crazy Americans, but the ride was fun nonetheless.
