Marrakesh or Marrakech is a most important city in the northwest African nation of Morocco. It is a fascinating, vibrant, colourful city surrounded by so much mystery, and there are many interesting facts that need to be known even if you haven't ever been there. The weather there is balmy and sun-soaked all year long, except in summer when it usually gets very hot. Widely referred to as the 'Red City', Marrakech has two separate parts: the old city, or medina, and the modern city which comprises the commercial quarter, Guéliz, and the leafy residential district of boulevards known as Hivernage..

The well-known Djemma El Fna, the ancient square at the centre of the city, is the main point of Marrakech and has been for centuries. It´s history dates back more than a thousand years when the first Dynasty brought water and exotic goods from the distant desert lands. They built the old Medina; a few parts still remain if you wander far enough, and followed by the second Dynasty, fierce mountain Berbers who brought a different style of architecture which you still see today. It is perhaps best known for storytelling as this has been a part of the square since the beginning. Imagine the caravans of camels arriving with all their exotic goods for trading, the Nomads sitting around in groups telling tales of ancient happenings from far off lands. During the day, and in particular by night, it is a real magnet for locals and tourists alike to be entertained by dancers, musicians and snake charmers among others, and by purveyors of a huge variety of inexpensive street food. Must-see attractions in Marrakech are many, some of them are: the Majorelle Gardens, the Dar Si Said museum, the heavily decorated Bahia and Badi palaces, the Medersa Ben Youssef (Koranic School) and the Koutoubia mosque, the most prominent landmark of the city with its superior minaret. There are many more locations around the medina to visit and explore. The souks are a myriad of alleyways and small streets luring you on with exotic colours and aromas, exquisite artisan crafts and products, textiles and gifts. An abundance of artefacts from all over the country and far off desert lands that speak of ancient customs and tribal lifestyles.
