Marrakech

Marrakech is a city in south-western Morocco, located in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

Also known as the Red City or Al Hamra, Marrakech is home to Morocco's largest souk market and also has the busiest square in the entire continent of Africa, Djemaa el Fna.

The city has a population estimated to be in the region of around two million people, with a very large international community consisting mainly of Europeans. Around 3,500 French nationals have retired to Marrakech, according to estimates, while there are also large numbers of Germans, Swiss, English and Swiss people living there.

Marrakech is a former caravan trading post - and many claim that it has retained its atmosphere as a exotic meeting place, with labyrinthine streets, colourful bazaars, a huge and panoramic central square all coloured by the smell of sizzling Moroccan delicacies.
