Marrakech helps you to look into the soul of Morocco. Marrakech is the heart that beats an African, Berber, Jewish, Saharian identity into the complex soul of Morocco. Marrakech is probably the most exotic city in Morocco for the reason that it is the meeting point of cultures and continents. Marrakech has always been the crossroads of cultures since its foundation in the eleventh century. Marrakech is split into two different cities, the walled medina and Gueliz (new town). Medina is of most interest to visitors; its winding markets and historical monuments enclosed within pink walls of sun-baked mud. The Medina can be divided into quarters between north and south of the central square, the Jemaa El Fna. The square has always been at the centre of medina life that charmed visitors from different parts of the world. Marrakech's people, weather, architecture and arts make of it a unique city in Morocco.
