Marrakech is an easy city to reach by direct flight, and a fascinating city to explore for its vibrant colors and diversity. The old blends harmoniously with the modern. The intense popular life of Jemaa el Fnaa, the old medina and the most important historical attractions contrast with the new city of Gueliz, its shops, cafes and museums.
