About Marrakesch

Am Fuß des Atlas ist das rotummauerte Marrakesch berühmt für seine labyrinthische Medina, den lebhaften Hauptplatz sowie ruhige Riads und Gärten.

Der Djemaa el-Fna, der große Platz im Zentrum der Medina, wechselt im Lauf des Tages seinen Charakter: von Saftverkäufern und Schlangenbeschwörern am Morgen zu rauchumwölkten Essensständen und Musikanten nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit. Das Minarett der Koutoubia-Moschee ragt in der Nähe als Wahrzeichen der Stadt auf, und die Souks breiten sich nördlich in einem Gassengewirr aus, in dem Leder, Laternen, Teppiche und Gewürze verkauft werden.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakesch: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
