  • Morocco - Marrakesh
  • About Marrakech Marrakech, known as the "Red City", is famous for its red sandstone walls and buildings, and once prospered as an important trading center for tribes of the Atlas Mountains. It remains one of the former royal cities where you can still feel its liveliness and history.

    In the evening, Jemaa el-Fnaa, one of the busiest squares in Africa, comes alive. Musicians, performers, snake charmers, games, and food stalls provide all kinds of entertainment. If you prefer to enjoy the scene with a bit of distance from the bustle, it is recommended to sit at one of the surrounding cafés and watch while dining.
