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".

City Center

The centre of the city is the spice market by day but at night is converted into a fun and vibrant food court of sorts! All kinds of different cuisines are prepared and served at individual booths throughout the square. Take caution in some things you eat, you will see a little of everything! Even if you don’t eat anything, it is very interesting to see. It looks like something out of National Geographic magazine!!
