Marrakech
Explore the Medina’s lanes and souks, then take in the bustle of Djemaa el Fna.
Marrakech is one of Morocco’s imperial cities, known for its red-walled old town, winding lanes and souks. It suits travellers who enjoy exploring markets on foot and seeking out historic architecture.
In the evening, musicians, dancers and storytellers fill Djemaa el Fna, alongside dozens of food stalls. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque is visible from almost everywhere in the city; only Muslims may go inside. Walk through the Bab Agnaou gate into the calmer Kasbah, home to the Saadian Tombs and the ruins of El Badi Palace. Also see the Ben Youssef Madrasa, a Koranic school, and Bahia Palace, and take a break from the bustle in Jardin Majorelle.
