About Marrakech

Marrakech is Morocco's most exhilarating city — a labyrinth of souks, palaces, and gardens built from the distinctive rose-red pisé clay that gives it the nickname "Red City." The Jemaa el-Fna square transforms from morning market to evening circus, with storytellers, snake charmers, and smoke-billowing food stalls. The medina's hidden riads offer oasis-like calm behind unassuming doorways, while the Majorelle Garden (restored by Yves Saint Laurent) provides a cobalt-blue botanical escape. Day trips to the Atlas Mountains, Ouzoud waterfalls, and Sahara desert camps are unmissable.
