Fes Riads and Essaouira Riad are both situated in Morocco along with Marrakesh Medina. Marrakesh the city is a sight you must plan on seeing if you are taking holidays in Morocco. No, it’s more that just a “must see” venue, it is as essential as the air that you breathe, as important as the rising run and as necessary to be there as it is to eat.
The origins of the word Marrakesh have been debated over the years, but chances are it seems to have come from the Berber word mur (n) akush – roughly translated to mean Land of God. Let me tell you, if you spend any time in this beautiful country you too will totally believe this IS indeed the Land of God.
Marrakesh is the capital city of the Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz region and is home and hearth to well over one million people. Interestingly enough is wasn’t all that long ago that this area was actually referred to as the Kingdom of Marrakesh.
If you’re looking for some serious spots to shop, then the souk in Marrakesh will tickle your fancy as it boasts of being the largest souk in Morocco. This isn’t the only attraction either, as there is an enormous square (dubbed the busiest in the world) called Djemaa el Fna. It’s alive with commerce 24/7 and you will find food stalls, acrobats, water sellers, story tellers and the odd drug lord roaming about.
Can’t you just see how exciting your trip to Morocco will be with a visit to Marrakech Medina? Don’t even think twice about how long you will stay here, the ambiance is just too special to think you’d want to leave at all.
Interested in a few facts and figures to get your imagination ready to fly? Marrakesh is the third largest city after Casablanca and Rabat and was once called Morocco City. What sets these cities apart from other world traveled locations is the way they are constructed. Marrakesh is sprawling, but has a definite intent to lead the visitor to the famous walled souks where stall vendors hawk their wares.
The sights, the sounds, the smells – the very electricity of being there make a trip to Morocco and Marrakesh Medina the kind of dream vacation everyone wants, but few get a chance to experience.
