Marrakech is the third largest city in Morocco after Casablanca and Rabat and boasts Morocco's most impressive market area (Souks), a display of how Morocco used to be, sitting below the High Atlas Mountains (snow covered in winter).
Although it is a favourite destination of many tourists, these tourist have been looking for the traditional Morocco and have not caused Marrakech to change.

The famous square, Jemaa el Fna, is not attractive in itself but the life that goes on there IS attractive.
There are likely to be snake charmers, musicians, story tellers plus stalls to buy food, herbal medicines, or have a tooth pulled!
Around the square are plenty of cafes and restaurants where you can relax and watch everyone else.
The souks are close to the square and cover the largest area of any souks in Morocco. Here you will find a wealth of craftwork, material, rugs, pottery, food.

There are a number of gardens in and around Marrakech, irrigated by water brought down from the atlas mountains by canals, creating cool areas in a city that can get very hot during the summer.
