Morocco's most alluring city renowned for its intriguing culture, artisanal heritage, stunning architecture, and natural wonders, Marrakesh is truly a traveller's delight. An erstwhile trading hub for ancient caravans from Timbuktu, the 'Red City' has fascinated people throughout the ages. Offering a lovely amalgamation of the old and new, places of tourist interest such as Jemaa el-Fnaa, Bahia Palace, El Badi Palace, Koutoubia Mosque, Medersa Ben Youssef, Menara gardens and Marrakech Museum are all wonderful and impressive. Besides sightseeing and exploring the city's many charms, you can enjoy several other interesting activities like getting henna
tattoos, listening to folktales from the locals, enjoying puppet shows and dancing to the beats of traditional folk music. Keeping all the shopaholics busy are traditional markets, souqs and shops selling a variety of goods and items particularly precious gems and antique jewellery. Cooked with authentic spices and natural ingredients, dishes like snail soup, B'stilla (spiced, savoury and slightly sweet meat pie, layered with exotic flavours), Harira (tomato and lentil soup), sheep heads, Ma'qooda (deep-fried potato balls) and Chebakia (sesame cookie) are some of the most enjoyed dishes in the city. Festival National des Arts Populaires (June/July), Marathon (January) and Marrakech Film Festival (November/December) are among the most famous festivals in the region.
