Marrakech is the southermost of the three imperial Moroccan cities (the other two are Fes and Meknes).
Its importance in the last centuries was great, under all the Sultan families who conquered this territory. Now it still has some reminders of the glorious and rich past in the palaces and other buildings that are open to visitors. It is a fascinating city with a lively atmosphere and colourful people, especially around the famous Djemaa el Fna square.
There are always many tourists, but possibly many more locals wanting to earn money with tourists; thus be prepared to continuous, persistent and sometimes annoying requests of people wanting to be your guide, to sell you something, to bring you to a shop, or simply asking for money. Be patient and don't let this spoil your visit to amazing Marrakech!

Lovely page. The Dar si Said palace and the Saadian Tombs are great places, I liked them. Many things have changed in 25 years, but the Djemaa el Fna has still the same atmosphere. | ncfg Sat Aug 9, 2003 18:28 UTC
Great photos and good info. Thanks | Astralka Tue Jun 17, 2003 21:01 UTC
Unbelievable how many people creep out of the hot ground in Djemaa el Fna at nightime ! Interesting pages. Sad that non-moslims are not allowed to the mosques | andal13 Mon May 26, 2003 01:12 UTC
Dar si Said palace's gardens seem to be a cool and quiet place to rest from heat and local "hunters" (at least on your picture)!!! |
