About Marrakech

Ved foten av Atlasfjellene er rødmurte Marrakech berømt for sin labyrintiske medina, livlige hovedtorg og fredelige riader og hager.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, det store torget i medinaens sentrum, skifter karakter gjennom dagen, fra saftselgere og slangetemmere om morgenen til røykfylte matboder og musikanter etter mørkets frembrudd. Koutoubia-moskeens minaret reiser seg i nærheten som byens landemerke, og soukene brer seg nordover i en labyrint av smug som selger lær, lykter, tepper og krydder.

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