Marrakesh

The 12 km long city Wall of Marrakesh was mostly built for the looks than for the purpose of defence. Today it is a perfect place to enjoy a romantic moment with your loved one. There are caleches (horse drawn carts) for tours of the Medina and the city’s ramparts and these tours are best at dusk.
Do & See
The city divides into two highly contrasting districts. The medina, founded by the Almoravids nearly 1000 years ago, and the Ville Nouvelle, a French colonial modernist project from the early 20th century. It is the medina, and its central square Djemaa el-Fna, that will undoubtedly fire the imagination.
