Marrakech, Morocco
The City:
Marrakesh is a former imperial city in western Morocco, is a major economic center and home to mosques, palaces and gardens. Spend your days exploring the quiet courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina, walking through the serene Jardin Majorelle or taking in the beauty of the city’s mosques before ending the evening at a one-of-a-kind riad.
The Medina:
a densely packed, walled medieval city dating to the Berber Empire, with maze-like alleys where thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery, and jewelry. A symbol of the city, and visible for miles, is the Moorish minaret of 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. Colorful souks, Moorish architecture, intimate gardens and boutique hotels–Marrakesh is unforgettable.
