An age-old trading post, Marrakech is easily accessible from Europe. The city has an almost mythical quality, its pink ramparts dramatically backed by the purple peaks of the Atlas Mountains, while the spiced air of labyrinthine alleys lends an aura of magic and mystery. With DK Eyewitness Top 10 Marrakech, this vibrant city is yours to explore.
At the heart of the medieval walled Medina is Jemaa el Fna, a vast plaza filled with mesmerizing sights, from musicians and acrobats to fragrant street food stalls. It is the ideal spot from which to start exploring. To the south is the Kasbah, an area rich with palaces and tombs; to the north are the bustling souks, where almost anything can be bought, from herbal remedies to kaftans and carpets.
Outside the fortified gates, the New City districts of Guliz and Hivernage offer orange-tree-lined avenues with a wealth of chic dining, drinking and shopping spots as well as cultural experiences. One of the areas unexpected delights is discovering the lush and colourful gardens, notably the Majorelle Gardens. Marrakech makes a splendid base for exploring southern Morocco. Hop on a bus or hire a car to experience the blue-and-white charms of the Atlantic port of Essaouira. Alternatively, head south to the mountains and to the desert beyond for imposing tribal fortresses, oasis villages, dune seas and a centre of international cinema.
Whether youre coming for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything Marrakech has to offer. The guide has useful tips throughout, from seeking out whats free to places off the beaten track, plus eight easy-to-follow itineraries designed to tie together a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and youve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Marrakech.
Marrakech may be low on museums and monuments, but a visit here is all about soaking up the atmosphere and culture. Even so, there are a handful of places that should not be missed. Four days allows you to see the best of the city and gives you time to make a day trip south into the mountains.

The Medinas central square means Assembly of the Dead, a reference to a time when the heads of executed criminals would be displayed here on spikes. Although nothing so gruesome is on view today, the square is still populated with some extraordinary sights, including acrobats and colourfully costumed water sellers. Despite efforts to clean up and organize Jemaa el Fna with neat paving and ornamental barrows, the place remains endearingly chaotic.

- In addition to Caf de France there are many other cafs with terraces overlooking the square, including Chez Chegrouni.
- Snake charmers weave their way through the market stalls. Some will try to put the reptile around your neck and then charge you for the privilege, so it is best to steer clear.
Sellers of freshly squeezed orange juice, with brightly painted barrows are the first to appear on the square every morning.
