About Marrakech

Au pied de l'Atlas, Marrakech aux remparts rouges est célèbre pour sa médina labyrinthique, sa place animée, ses riads paisibles et ses jardins.

Jemaa el-Fna, la grande place au centre de la médina, change de caractère au fil de la journée : marchands de jus et charmeurs de serpents le matin, étals fumants et musiciens après la tombée de la nuit. Le minaret de la mosquée de la Koutoubia s'élève à proximité comme emblème de la ville, et les souks s'étendent au nord dans un lacis de ruelles où l'on vend cuir, lanternes, tapis et épices.

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