Marrakech is a city that never fails to stir the senses. Nicknamed The Red City for its terracotta walls and sun-drenched landscapes, it’s a place where centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with vibrant modern life. The heart of the city beats in Jemaa el-Fnaa, the famous square filled with storytellers, musicians, and food stalls that come alive as the sun goes down. Wander through the narrow alleys of the medina, where souks overflow with colorful spices, handwoven carpets, and intricate lanterns. Step inside peaceful riads, admire the gardens of Majorelle, or simply soak in the rhythm of daily life — Marrakech is both chaotic and charming in equal measure. For many, it’s not just a stop on their journey through Morocco; it’s the highlight.
