Why visit Marrakech

Marrakech’s medina hides behind 19 kilometres of red pisé wall, and every lane bends toward Jemaa el-Fnaa, where the food stalls fire up after dark. The Koutoubia minaret, 77 metres of it, is the city’s compass; a tagine and bread in the medina runs about 60 dirham. Jardin Majorelle charges 150 dirham to enter, and the Atlas foothills at Imlil are a 90-minute drive.
