MARrAKECH
The Heartbeat of Morocco
Known as the “Red City” for its distinct red sandstone buildings, Marrakech fuses ancient customs with contemporary amenities. By day, the medina is a bustling maze of narrow streets filled with markets, palaces and gardens, perfect for exploration. By night, the main square pulsates with street performers, food stalls and artisans.
CULTURE
Ancient traditions and modern influences intertwine, shaping Marrakech’s distinct identity. The city’s heart beats with the rhythm of Berber culture, a legacy of North Africa's indigenous people. Islamic religion infuses daily life, its echoes carried by the call to prayer from towering minarets. Beyond these deep-rooted influences, Marrakech is a cultural melting pot. Its bustling souks are a blend of African, Arab and Mediterranean heritage, creating a captivating atmosphere that leaves visitors spellbound.
CUISINE
The distinctive blend of cumin, coriander, saffron and cinnamon in Moroccan cuisine creates a memorable flavor profile. Tagine, the iconic clay pot that slowly cooks succulent meats, vegetables and dried fruits, is a culinary cornerstone. The vibrant street food scene offers a feast for the senses, with msemen (flaky, layered bread), harira (a hearty tomato, lentil, and chickpea soup), and kebabs sizzling over open flames. The tangy zest of preserved lemons and olives adds a unique depth, setting Moroccan cuisine apart from its neighbors.
LOCATION
Nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is located in western Morocco in northwest Africa. Borders include Spain to the north (across the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea), Algeria to the east, the Sahara Desert to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
