The essence

A quiet introduction

Marrakech assaults the senses in the most magical way—the call to prayer echoing over terracotta rooftops, the scent of spices wafting through labyrinthine souks, and the sight of snow-capped Atlas Mountains rising beyond the medina walls. This ochre city is Morocco's beating heart.
