Jemaa el-Fnaa square_

Marrakech is a major city in the northwest African nation of Morocco. It is the fourth largest city in the country after Casablanca, Rabat and Fes, and is the capital of the mid-southwestern region of Marrakesh-Tensift-El Haouz.  Marrakesh is possibly the most important of Morocco's four former imperial cities (cities that were built by Moroccan Berber empires). The red walls of the city have given the city the nickname of the "Red City". Marrakesh grew rapidly and established itself as a cultural, religious, and trading centre for the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa; Jemaa el-Fnaa is the busiest square in Africa.

Another beautiful view from the Kasbah du Toubkal's terrace in the High Atlas Mountains. This is truly a unique location and an excellent place to stay if you are keen on trekking to the Toubkal, the tallest peak in Northern Africa.
