Marrakech is known as the Red City thanks to the blush – coloured walls that surround it. Constructed in the 12th century, the bricks are made from tabia, which is a mixture of red mud and water from Hazon plains. But anyone who’s been to the city will know that its nickname doesn’t do it justice. Red is just one colour in Marrakech kaleidoscope.
The fabled Red City of Marrakech will enchant you with sights, sounds and smells.
Its ancient medina is a maze of narrow streets with Djemaa El Fna – arguably Africa’s most famous square – at its center, and a nightly circus of storytellers, snake charmers and musicians.
