Marrakesh - Morocco
The city of Marrakech is the first tourist destination of Morocco. It combines tradition, history, great atmosphere and a beautiful sun. It is located in southern Morocco at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. It is nicknamed the Red City in reference to the red color of the walls of its buildings and houses and also the color of the city walls.
It is one of the historic capitals of Morocco under the reign of several dynasties. The city was founded in 1071 by Youssef Ibn Tachfin, at the head of the Berber empire of the Almoravids. In the past, Morocco was known in the East as Marrakech (still relevant in Iran); the name Morocco comes from the deformation of the Portuguese pronunciation of Marrakech: Marrocos.
Marrakech is the fourth largest city in the kingdom after Casablanca, Rabat and Fez. It is located 327 km south of the capital Rabat and 239 km south of Casablanca.
