Marrakech, often called the "Red City" because of its rose-colored walls and buildings, is a dynamic blend of tradition and modernity. Founded in 1070 by the Almoravids, it has served as a crossroads for Berber, Arab, Andalusian, and French cultures. Its medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, ancient souks, historic riads, and bustling squares like the famous Jamaa El Fna, where storytellers, musicians, and food vendors fill the air with energy day and night.
This map has been specially designed to help you navigate the complexity and beauty of Marrakech. From the winding streets of the medina to the broad boulevards of the modern Gueliz district, from tranquil gardens to luxurious palaces and lively markets, every pin on this map tells a story. You can zoom in to explore neighborhoods like Kasbah, Mellah, Bab Doukkala, and Hivernage, each offering a unique atmosphere, architecture, and set of experiences.
