Marrakesh is the second largest city in Morocco after Casablanca, and was known to early travellers as "Morocco City. Like many North African cities, Marrakesh comprised both an old fortified city (the médina) and an adjacent modern city (called Gueliz).

About Marrakesh

Marrakesh covers an area of 111 sq. miles (405.6 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 1.1 million people being the capital of the Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz region. Marrakesh is known as the "Red City" or "Al Hamra".

Dar Moha

This isn’t the most stylish riad, but it has an established reputation for its fixed menu of nouvelle cuisine marocaine, ideal for tagine fatigue. Delicious adaptations of traditional dishes include a tiny melt-in-the-mouth pastilla (sweet pigeon pie) filled with a vegetable purée, and strawberries wrapped in wafer-thin pastry and rolled in ground almonds. Steer clear of the poky salons; head instead for the outside tables arranged around a small pool and shaded by lush banana palms. With the accompaniment of Andalusian lutes, these are where it’s at.
