Description about the city : Marrakech

Marrakech, known as the "Red City" because of the ochre color of its walls and buildings, is one of Morocco’s most iconic destinations. Nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, it offers a captivating mix of historical heritage and contemporary energy. Its beating heart, the Medina — a UNESCO World Heritage site — is filled with lively alleys, traditional souks, stunning riads, and remarkable landmarks such as the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, and the Ben Youssef Madrasa. As night falls, Jemaa el-Fna square comes alive with storytellers, musicians, and traditional food stalls. Beyond the Medina, Marrakech also reveals a modern face with upscale neighborhoods, art galleries, luxury hotels, and international festivals. A city of contrasts and encounters, Marrakech promises an unforgettable sensory experience.
