Marrakech
Marrakech or Marakesh (m+r+a+k+sn Murrakush), known as the "Red City or Al Hamra," is a city in southwestern Morocco in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.While not considered as well preserved as other Moroccan cities such as , Marrakech offers several historical and architectural sites as well as some interesting museums.
- Djemma El Fna is the highlight of any Marrakech night. Musicians, dancers and story tellers pack this square at the heart of the medina, filling it with a cacophony of drum beats and excited shouts. Scores of stalls sell a wide array of Moroccan fare (see the Eat section) and you will almost certainly be accosted by women wanting to give you a henna tattoo. Many beggars and touts.
- The souks or markets of Marrakech, just adjacent to Place Jema El Fna, is where you can buy most anything. From spices to shoes, jalabas to kaftans, tea pots to tagines and much, much more. Undoubtedly, being a foreigner will still mean you will end up paying a higher price for whatever you are buying than a native would, but be sure to bargain nonetheless.
- Koutoubia mosque, Just adjacent to Djemma El Fna. It is said that the minaret of the Koutoubia mosque is to Marrakech as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. The minaret is visible from Gueliz which is connected to the Medina by Ave. Mohammed V.
Majorelle Gardens
- Majorelle Gardens, in . With entrance fee of 30 dirhams, it is more expensive than other attractions but provides an excellent respite from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. The park boasts a collection of plants from across the globe, including what seems like every cactus species on the planet. Inside the gardens is also the Museum of Islamic Art, for which an additional entrance fee is charged.
- Musee Dar si Said, on Rue Riad Zitoun Jdid. A museum 5 minutes walk from Djemma El Fna, and a little tricky to find. Set in an old palace, and houses many different artifacts from Morocco through the ages, such as wood carvings, musical instruments and weapons.
- Ben Youssef madrasa
- El Bahia palace Ornate and beautiful this is popular with guided tours and stray cats. Nice garden with banana flowers, tranquil courtyards. Admission, 10dh.
- El Badi palace Now in ruins and inhabited by storks and stray cats. Some underground passageways to explore. Admission, 10dh. The view from the terrace is majestic.
