Marrakech was once an impressive Imperial city in Western Morocco and today is an important economic hub and popular tourist attraction. The medina is the name of the densely packed city center that is contained within medieval walls. This part of town dates to the Berber empire and features winding alleys and marketplaces selling traditional goods and jewelry. There are a number of mosques, with the most prominent being the Koutoubia Mosque, which you can see from miles away. March and April are the best times of year to visit the city. It is considered the shoulder season when the weather is milder and the hotel rates are relatively low. Map
