Travel Guide, Marrakesh
Set against the majestic Atlas Mountains, Morocco’s Red City - Marrakesh - is a magical land of souks and snake charmers; mysterious doorways and mosaic tiled courtyards. Historically an important stop for nomadic camel caravans, it is now at the epicenter of Moroccan tourism and provides an excellent balance between old (the Medina district) and new (ville nouvelle) while the Djema el-Fnaa, or "Le Place", has remained the bustling heart of the city throughout it all.
