Marrakesh, Imperial city in central-southwestern Morocco
The red walls surrounding the Medina create a stark contrast against the snow-capped Atlas Mountains rising in the southern horizon.
Founded in 1062 by Abu Bakr ibn Umar, the city became a vital center for commerce between sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb regions.
The Jemaa el-Fna square transforms each evening into a gathering place with traditional music, storytellers, performers, and food vendors.
The Medina contains numerous traditional markets called souks, where artisans craft and sell leather goods, carpets, metalwork, and spices.
The Koutoubia Mosque's 77-meter minaret served as a landmark for desert caravans approaching the city for centuries.
