Marrakech Travel Guide Michael Griffiths

Morocco's imperial city of Marrakech is known for its fortified walls which extend around the circumference of the city and is called the rose city because of the red earth from which they were constructed. The city reminds the visitor of centuries past with its snake charmers, belly dancers and traditional bazaars.
