Summary
Nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, on the edge of the Sahara Desert, the imperial city of Marrakech is full of exotic promise. In the Red City (so called because of its crimson city walls), a heady mix of European, Middle Eastern and North African cultures collide. The city’s Berber, Almarovid, Islamic, Arabic and French influences are reflected in its eclectic architecture, music, crafts and cuisine.
For the full Moroccan experience, combine your trip to Marrakech with a visit to the golden beaches of Agadir, the Art Deco elegance of Casablanca or the laid-back seaside city of Essaouira.
