Marrakech is undoubtedly the most exotic city in Morocco. She has always been appreciated for its uniqueness. Arab poets called "Pearl of the South, leaving the Atlas." It is also known as the "Red City" or "City of Gardens". In winter, the snowy peaks of the Atlas admired on the southern horizon and the city was burning under the desert sun.
Marrakech is clearly divided into two different cities: the protected para a great wall and the new town Gueliz Medina. Gueliz offers all possibilities of a modern city.
Marrakech was founded as a commercial center and handmade by an old Berber population that dominated the south of Morocco. It is one of the four royal cities (Fez, Meknes, Rabat and Marrakech), and offers provided many buildings and monuments documenting its history.
Medina Marrrakech is surrounded by a large earthen wall 20 km rusty becomes purple in the light of the setting sun. A carriage ride along the walls at sunset is a unique experience.
Koutoubia
The highest point of the shadow of the medina is the minaret of the Koutoubia ( mosque booksellers ) . The minaret is seen with its 77 m height as an example for the construction of mosques because of its perfect proportions. Koutoubia is visible from afar and serves as a reference for orientation.
Jemma el Fna
The Jemma el Fna is the center of public life in Marrakech. This is a large gap between the souk and the Koutoubia, where during the day magicians , snake charmers , storytellers, vendors of fruit juice , bands , water sellers and fakirs entertain spectators , visitors and passers .
It is possible to get it to extract a molar , read the future or henna tattoo arm .
Five o'clock in the evening , the show changes. Coming from all directions people with mobile kitchens , as well as tables, chairs and tarps to mount restaurants on the square, where you can dine all : couscous , kebabs, salads, soups, tagines and many other things.
Souk
In a maze of narrow and dark alleys , sometimes as tunnels, sometimes filled with sunlight coming in through the cracks of racks made of reed roofs , shops succeed one after another, and it is found in an atmosphere full of sensory impressions of all types. Unknown odors and visual surprises at every step.
At first , everything seems chaotic and messy, but over time we can observe that the souk is divided into different sections : food , textiles , leather, wood , ironwork, etc. ... and numerous further occasions shops appear respective workshops .
You can see how to decorate a wooden box with inlay work , or a blacksmith giving shape to a grid, or a craftsman who sewing a leather bag . It is not difficult in this atmosphere of being in the process of evoking the past.
Menara
Menara is the name of olive groves and fruit trees around Marrakech. Plantations are sprayed with water from a huge tank which has the appearance of a picturesque lake in the landscape
The Menara gardens existed in the twelfth century , and were expanded in the nineteenth century. Sultan Sidi Mohammed ordered the construction of a Moorish pavilion with a roof covered with green tiles.
If today a resident of Marrakech want to enjoy a few hours of country life or picnic under an olive tree , sometimes in a few minutes Menara Gardens

La Mamounia Hotel
A wonderful hotel centrally located and within a short walking distance from the souk. It truly is a beautiful place on earth as Winston Churchill once said.
