About Marrakesh - Morocco
Marrakesh is known as the Red City or Al Hamra and comprises both an old fortified city (the Medina) and an adjacent modern city (called Gueliz). It is served by Ménara International Airport. Marrakech is the second largest city in the country and is situated in central Morocco near to the Atlas Mountains. Now a center for international conferences of all kinds, and as such resolutely modern, the city has, at the same time, retained a remarkable local color and atmosphere unique in the country. It is also well situated for excursions either to the desert, the Atlas Mountains and the sea. It is within easy distance (by car, bus, train or plane) from typical towns such as Ouarzazate, Taroudant, Essaouira (ex-Mogador), and Casablanca (where it is possible to visit the new Mosque, the biggest in the world after Mecca).
