More about Marrakech

Marrakech or Marrakesh is the major economic center of central Morocco. One of Morocco’s four Imperial Cities, it lies in the center of the fertile, irrigated Haouz Plain, south of the Tennsift River. Marrakech, known as the Pearl of the South or the Red City is a r and home to mosques, palaces and gardens. The ancient section of the city, known as the medina, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985. This medina is the largest traditional market in Morocco. With mazelike alleys thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery and jewelry. This densely packed medina, surrounded by packed clay ramparts with many gates, dates back to the Berber Empire. A symbol of the city, and visible for miles, is the Moorish minaret on the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. It is located just southwest of Jemaa el-Fna, the famous and best known square in Africa. Marrakech is worthy of visit as there so much to see and experience. Let Morocco Meta Adventures be your guide, so you see the best of this city. Don’t hesitate to contact us.
