About Marrakech

Ved foden af Atlasbjergene er rødmuret Marrakech berømt for sin labyrintiske medina, livlige hovedtorv og fredelige riads og haver.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, det store torv i medinaens centrum, skifter karakter gennem dagen, fra saftsælgere og slangetæmmere om morgenen til røgfyldte madboder og musikanter efter mørkets frembrud. Koutoubia-moskeens minaret rejser sig i nærheden som byens vartegn, og soukerne breder sig mod nord i en labyrint af stræder, der sælger læder, lanterner, tæpper og krydderier.
