Marrakesh, Morocco 4K

Marrakech, also known as the Red City, is a city of diversity and charm in southern Morocco. The bustling heart of this royal city offers a blend of ancient and modern aspects, rich cultural experiences, natural beauty, and a touch of adventure.

The old town of Marrakech still exudes the authentic old atmosphere, not only through the impressive historical monuments but also through the authentic ambiance that prevails. Marrakech is different and yet so easily accessible, making it the perfect destination for a dream city trip. And here it applies: you don't have to discover everything at once during your first visit, because almost everyone who has experienced Marrakech once, likes to return. As Winston Churchill once said, "The one who has seen Marrakesh will come back."

A central point in the old town is the famous Djemaa-el-Fna square. Here, every evening is a spectacle with artists, mobile food stalls, and atmospheric traditional lighting. Men in white chef's suits promote their dishes, and both local people and foreign tourists sit at long tables to enjoy the delicious Moroccan cuisine. What makes this square so special is that it is not only for tourists but also beloved by the local population. In the evenings, the storytellers stand surrounded by an enthusiastic audience, which has helped to make this cultural tradition a UNESCO monument. You absolutely must experience the unique atmosphere of the square during an evening visit.

During the day, Djemaa-el-Fna offers a completely different experience. Here, you can enjoy stalls with fresh orange juice and local dried fruits such as almonds, dates, figs, and walnuts, all wrapped in traditional paper. It's an opportunity to shop in an old-fashioned yet very hip, packaging-free way. In the evenings, the square turns into a culinary paradise with fragrant food stalls, which are actually 'food trucks' avant la lettre - moved with hand carts every day and carefully built up by hand.
