Marrakech or Marakesh (مراكش Murrakush), known as the "Red City or Al Hamra," is a city in southwestern Morocco in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.Marrakech is one of the worlds enchanted places where time becomes suspended and, through its open door, you catch a glimpse of the past so rich and so remote and yet so palpable. You can sense the atavism propelling every trick and turn in the Djemaa el Fna, Marrakech's pulsating main square and one of the worlds great theatres. The Djemaa is a spectacular pageant of singers, tumblers, sorcerers, herbalists, raconteurs, impostors, preachers and snake charmers, all competing for your eye. There is nowhere else in Africa which so effortlessly involves you, blows aside travel cynicism and keeps you returning. If you get tired, observe the spectacle from one of the overlooking rooftop cafes.Marrakech is enchantingly sited at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains, snow-capped for much of the year in contrast to the desert heat of the city. Summers can be scorching, but winter is bright and crisp, while autumn brings delicious fresh produce into the markets and spring sees the Atlas Mountains covered in flowers.

Marrakesh is not London, Paris, Berlin, Zurich or Kyoto. Marrakesh is Marrakesh. Do you want to see only monuments? Go to Fez. The main reason to come to Marrakesh, in my oppinion, is to see the people, their struggles with their hard life. The square offers you everything what your heart can desire. Go and dive into the crowds of the Arab and Berber people. Don't be afraid! Different things are offered. It's only your choice to accept or reject it. Haggle prices and don't get overcharged for that you are interested in.
People get angry about being overcharged but I found it funny. And it was funny too if I didn't get overcharged.
Morocco property is famous because of this city.
Is it not adventurous to meet hustlers, faulse guids etc here?
Is it not funny to make a good deal buying something and to discover next day that the price you paid was dubbled or trippled. The day before you were a very lucky person.
Is it not funny to pay for making photos of snakes, monkeys and everything what seems a little bit exotic to you? Come here and learn how to shoot a picture without paying. Not an easy job!!!!
