Marrakech is in. The city in southwestern Morocco is not only the backdrop for films, including Sex and the City, but also a vacation destination for prominent Americans and Europeans. Reachable from Central Europe in a few hours by plane, the city offers oriental flair and luxurious hotels and restaurants. A major attraction of Marrakech is the medieval marketplace Djemaa el Fna, with its spice stalls, snake charmers, and storytellers. The meeting place for the international jet set in the evenings is the Hotel La Mamounia, where you can experience lavish, luxury-class interiors. Every year in December, the Marrakech Film Festival takes place with many events in the marketplace. Find out about Marrakech, its history, and its peculiarities with this book!.
