Descrizione
Marrakesh has always had a mystique about it. A city of immense beauty – low, red and tentlike below the dramatic peaks of the High Atlas mountains – its narrow alleys beg discovery while its bustling thoroughfares infuse the visitor with the city’s excitement and vitality. Arguably the last outpost of the Mediterranean before the Sahara, Marrakesh is still steeped in nomadic and West African influences. Nowhere is this fact more evident than among the crowds and performers of the Jemaa el Fna, the main square at the heart of the old town. Here you’ll find a constant reminder that Marrakesh was once the entrepot for goods (gold, ivory and slaves) brought by caravan across the desert.
