A city of dizzying contradictions, Marrakesh pulses with the energy of a million spices. The old city, a labyrinth of narrow streets, is home to busy markets, mosques, and the tombs of sultans.
In the new city, modern hotels and restaurants cater to visitors, while the Palmeraie, a forest of palm trees, is home to luxurious villas and gardens. Wandering through the souks, you can buy anything from carpets and copper pots to leather goods and spices. Don’t miss a chance to enjoy a cup of steaming mint tea in a shady courtyard, listen to the call to prayer, or watch the sun set over the Atlas Mountains.
