About Marrakech

Marrakech's medina is a maze of lanes around the square of Jemaa el-Fnaa, where food stalls are set up every evening. Workshops for leather, metal and wood still work in their own quarters of the souk.

Outside the walls are the Majorelle garden and the newer city. Most trips to the High Atlas and the Sahara start and end here.
