About Marrakech

Vid foten av Atlasbergen är rödmurade Marrakech känt för sin labyrintlika medina, livliga stora torg och fridfulla riads och trädgårdar.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, det stora torget i medinans mitt, byter karaktär under dagen, från juicesäljare och ormtjusare på morgonen till rökiga matstånd och musikanter efter mörkrets inbrott. Koutoubiamoskéns minaret reser sig i närheten som stadens landmärke, och soukerna breder ut sig norrut i ett virrvarr av gränder som säljer läder, lyktor, mattor och kryddor.
