Marrakesh, Morocco is an unbelievable and sensory-rich experience for any traveler that is lucky enough to visit.
Located in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains near the center of the Moroccan territory, Marrakesh is seen as the heart of Morocco in many ways.
With a population of nearly one million, Marrakesh is a bustling hub and a place where the native Berber culture of Morocco and Arabic culture interact to form an interesting mix.
One of the best things that any visitor to Marrakesh can do is to simply walk around and get lost in the sights, sounds, and overwhelming smell that it presents to visitors.
Much of the center of Marrakesh is composed of souks, narrow, winding streets and alleyways in which merchants hawk cheap goods aggressively and at a good price. You can find truly anything in the souks, from spices to clothing to lamps.
The central hub of Marrakesh is the Jena el-Fnaa Square in the center of the Medina. Here is where the largest concentration of vendors sell their goods and street musicians try to earn a buck.
Visitors to Marrakesh also must visit the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque and its beautiful minaret tower. Although non-Muslims cannot enter, anyone can admire its beauty from the outside. Itās a beautiful symbol of Marrakesh, and the cherry on top of any visit to the city.
