Known as ''The Red City'', Marrakech is an imperial city that is distinctly more African than other cities in Morocco such as Fez, Rabat and Meknes. The setting of the city is stunning, with ochre stucco buildings surrounded by the snow-peaked Atlas Mountains.

Many tourists take a trip from marrakech to visit the valley of the Ourika river in the Atlas Mountains, the valley of the Draa River in the SOuth near the Sahara desert, the Middle Atlas Mountains, the Waterfalls of Beni Mellal or onto Essaouaria on the Atlantic Ocean.

Within the city walls lies the main square, Djemaa el fna. It bustles with traders, entertainers and musicians and is a fantastic place for tourists to immerse themselves in Moroccan culture.

Due to Marrakech's long standing popularity, it has well-established property market resulting in prices tending not to escalate in the same way as other off plan areas in Morocco. However, there are still some exceptional properties in Marrakech that will suit your budget.
