Acerca de Marrakech
Marrakech is Morocco's most storied imperial city — a walled medina of souks, riads and hidden gardens on the doorstep of the High Atlas. Most travellers base themselves inside the medina for atmosphere or in Guéliz and Hivernage for modern hotels and easier taxis.
¿Por qué visitar Marrakech?
Few cities match Marrakech for sensory density. In one day you can wander a UNESCO-listed medina, sip mint tea in a rooftop riad, and drive into the Atlas for a Berber lunch.
