Marrakech, also known as the "Pearl of the South" is one of the most enchanting cities in Morocco, Africa. As soon as you arrive you´ll immediately fall under the spell of this magical place with it´s fascinating people, culture and history. Going to Marrakech is like taking a journey back in time. Hidden behind the city´s red earth walls you´ll find a maze of winding bazaars, stunning ancient palaces, peaceful gardens and the legendary Jemaa el Fna - Marrakech´s famous town square.
It´s not the most visually appealing town square you´ll ever see; it´s famous because of its continuous day and nightlife. During the day, you´ll see performers of every kind putting on their colourful shows. As the sun starts to set and night approaches, the square comes alive with food stalls. People stand around eating, drinking and talking for hours. The Jemaa el Fna is probably the most vibrant area of the city.
There are plenty of places outside the city that are well worth checking out. You can take a guided tour into the surrounding hills, follow the ancient trails into the valleys, explore the rural villages nestling beneath the rocky slopes - the views are truly amazing.
If you look southwest, you´ll see the spectacular snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas mountain ranges; a beautiful yet inhospitable landscape where hardened Berber villagers eke out a meager existence.
To the west of Marrakech, there´s the much-celebrated Portuguese town of Essaouira. It´s a charming little fishing port with whitewashed streets and blue-shuttered houses. It´s also a world-class surfing location that has become incredibly popular over the past few years. |
