Marrakech is the first tourist destination of Morocco, named also "Red" for its habitations red color. It's the alleys of the old medina that hides its traditions, and its jewels that are riads, heavens of peace and tranquillity, From those riads here you can hear the beating heart of the Red city, located in place Jamaa El Fna. Millions ofpeople visits Marrakech every year. In addition to its exceptional climate, his proximity of major European cities, certainly the richness of its monuments participated in the successful tourist Marrakech for years.
While visiting Marrakesh, you will discover The Jamaa El Fna square, Koutoubia, Souk, Menara, The Majorelle garden, The place Saadian, Badi palace, the place of Bahia and Dar Si Saîd museum which are the most frequented places. Don't miss a ride by horse-drawn carriage to discover the ramparts and the palm. The mellah, a former Jewish quarter that remained very typical.
From the moment you arrive in Marrakesh, you’ll get the distinct feeling you’ve left something behind – a toothbrush or socks, maybe? But no, what you’ll be missing in Marrakesh attraction is predictability and all sense of direction. Never mind: you’re better off without them here. Marrakesh is too packed with mind-boggling distractions and labyrinthine alleyways to adhere to boring linear logic. If you did have a destination, you’d only be waylaid by snake charmers, out-of-control donkey carts, trendy silver leather poufs and ancient Berber cures for everything from relationships to rent.
Start at the action-packed Djemaa el-Fna, and if you can tear yourself away from the castanet-clanging water-sellers and turbaned potion-sellers, head into Marrakesh’s maze of covered market streets. Marrakesh’s souqs are like a cold riad plunge pool on a scorching July day: nothing quite prepares you for the shock. Dive in headfirst at any street headed north off the Djemaa el-Fna, and with any luck you’ll emerge exhilarated and triumphant some hours later, carpet in tow.
While you’re in the heart of the Medina, you may come upon a palace museum, stay in a riad guest-house, and venture a dish of piping-hot snails. But it’s worth leaving the charms of the old city occasionally for dinner, drinks, art galleries and fixed-price boutique shopping in the ville nouvelle (the new town). Go with the flow, and become an honorary Marrakshi bahja (joyous one).
