Marrakech: The Red-Rose city of Morocco
The beautiful imperial city of Marrakech, known as the ‘red city’ because its framed by the snowy heights of the atlas,with rose-coloured ramparts and a thousand year old palm grove.
Marrakech casts a magic spell; sumptuous and exuberant, it radiates splendour and mysticism; at the dye merchants, in the explosion of multicoloured wools; at the festival time, in the rhythm of the music, in the emotion of the dancers; in the idle talk of the merchants and in the skill of the jugglers. Enchantment, you feel it in the shade of the blue gardens and in the overwhelming perfection of the koutoubia.
Its reputation extends beyond Morocco’s borders; every day it attracts thousands of curious visitors and is a must to see: jemaa El Fna square in Marrakech is pure magic. It is halfway between a dream and reality, the beating heart of the city.
Going beyond this, the Menara Gardens is considered as the most romantic place in town and don't forget to visit one of the many examples of sights left by the many Europeans and Americans who fell so much in love with Marrakech that they established their Riads and guest houses here.
