Witness the sights, smells, & sounds of Marrakech in Morocco
A beautiful city built in true Saadian style, one could say Marrakech is the most beautiful city in all of North Africa. Marrakech's focal point is the Jemaa El-Fna square. It's a large open space in the day, filled with fruit stands selling cheap orange juice, & everything else from snake charmers to story tellers. At nite however the area transforms with dozens upon dozens of food stalls being set up offering seating & all kinds of food dishes. The rest of the city has an understated beauty, the smell of spices, & bazaars selling everything you could ever want. Towards the southern end of the medina is Palace el-Badi, which was reputed to be one of the most beautiful palaces in the world when it was first constructed in the 16th century.
