About Marrakech

Ai piedi dell'Atlante, Marrakech dalle mura rosse è famosa per la medina labirintica, la piazza vivace, i riad tranquilli e i giardini.

Jemaa el-Fna, la grande piazza al centro della medina, cambia carattere nel corso della giornata: dai venditori di succhi e dagli incantatori di serpenti del mattino alle bancarelle avvolte dal fumo e ai musicisti dopo il tramonto. Il minareto della moschea della Koutoubia si innalza vicino come simbolo della città, e i suq si estendono a nord in un dedalo di vicoli che vendono pelle, lanterne, tappeti e spezie.

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