Marrakech is without any doubt the most exotic city of Morocco.
It always was special. The Arab poets called her "the pearl of the South, drawn by the Atlas" She is also called "the red city" o "the city of the gardens". In winter,
we can admire the snowy peaks of the Atlas on the south horizon and in summer the city is burning under the barren grounds. The mountaintop of the medina is the
minaret of the Koutoubia (mosque of freedom) The SOUK is a labyrinth full of small and dark streets that looks like tunnels, sometimes letting a sunray appears through
the bamboo roofs. Shops are next to each other and there is an ambient full of diverse sensations of all kind to experience.
The unknown smells and surprises that come at each street corner are impressive.
PLAZA JMA EL FNA, is the busiest place of interest of Marrakech.
It is a place where everybody gathers around and is big enough to cater them. Located between the souk and Koutoubia, where during the day, illusionists, snake
charmers, drinks retailers and fakirs are here for your entertainment.
Everything is possible here: take a tooth out, predict your good fortune or tattoo your arms with henna.
The scenery changes at around 5pm. From all part of the square, you will see people with kitchen kits fitted with tables, chairs, and tarps to become the best fast
food you will ever find, you will be able to eat: couscous, barbecues, salads, soups, pastas and more.
We will be able to eat and visit around the square Jma el Fna, the Koutoubia, the medina etc.
