Marrakech

Nestled at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech rises from the Moroccan desert like a mirage of terracotta walls and swaying palm trees. This imperial city, fondly known as the “Red City” for its rose-hued buildings, is a captivating blend of African, Arab, and European influences. Its medieval medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways where traditional souks buzz with the energy of craftsmen and traders, while the iconic Djemaa el-Fna square comes alive at sunset with storytellers, musicians, and food vendors creating an intoxicating spectacle of Moroccan culture.
