About Marraquexe

Aos pés do Atlas, Marraquexe, de muralhas vermelhas, é famosa pela medina labiríntica, pela praça animada, pelos riads sossegados e pelos jardins.

Jemaa el-Fna, a grande praça no centro da medina, muda de carácter ao longo do dia: dos vendedores de sumos e encantadores de serpentes da manhã às bancas de comida envoltas em fumo e aos músicos depois de anoitecer. O minarete da Mesquita Koutoubia ergue-se por perto como emblema da cidade, e os souks estendem-se para norte num labirinto de vielas onde se vende couro, lanternas, tapetes e especiarias.
