Review:
Marrakech, Morocco is one of Northern Africa's most gorgeous getaways, known around the world for its stunning preserved mosques, royal imperial palaces, and bustling local marketplaces. The beautiful walled city showcases fortifications dating back to the days of the Berber Empire, home to a densely-populated medina district showcasing attractions like public square Djemaa el-Fna, filled with regional food vendors and traditional street musicians. Historic and contemporary art and artifacts are on display at the lovely Musée de Marrakech, housed within a beautiful former palace. Friends in town for the week can also view landmarks like the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque and the ruins of the 16th-century El Badi Palace or dine at their choice of gourmet and local favorite restaurants serving up Moroccan classics like tagine, muhammara, and pastilla.
