Marrakech, the second largest city in Morocco, is not only a major economic powerhouse in North Africa, but a hive of social energy and activity with its bustling souqs, lively nightlife, rich cultural heritage and vibrant dining scene. Known as the Red City, in reference to its city walls and red sandstone buildings, this thriving metropolis has become a global tourism hotspot, popular for its ancient medina, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site with the famous Jamaa el-Fna Square marketplace at its centre, as well as its shopping, hammams and stunning parks, including Le Jardin Secret, Jardin Majorelle, the Menara olive grove and the walled Agdal gardens. Lying at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, it is a city with an awe-inspiring location and temperate climate all-year-round. SOMA ZAIDI |
