About Marrakech
The gateway to southern Morocco
Founded in 1070, Marrakech's ochre-walled medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site built around Jemaa el-Fna square, which turns from orange-juice stalls by day into food stalls, musicians and storytellers by night.
Beyond the souks, the Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs and Majorelle Garden showcase centuries of Moroccan and Islamic art, while Gueliz's modern cafés and galleries show the city's other side.
Marrakech is also the launch point for almost every Sahara desert tour — the road east through the High Atlas and Ouarzazate to Merzouga starts here.
