About Marrakech
Marrakech centers on its walled medina. Jemaa el-Fnaa square fills with performers and stalls each evening. Souk Semmarine leads into narrow lanes of shops and workshops. Palaces like Bahia Palace and El Badi Palace show the scale of former royal residences.
The Koutoubia Mosque stands as a landmark minaret. Ben Youssef Madrasa and the Dar Si Said Museum hold examples of local craft and architecture. This suits a trip focused on history and markets.
