MarraKEch cITy Tour<br />
Thursday, 5 January, <strong>2012</strong><br />
15:00 - 18:00<br />
known as “the red city” or as “the<br />
Pearl <strong>of</strong> the South,” marrakech is a<br />
fascinating city.<br />
marrakech brings the most outlandish<br />
travelers’ tales to life. the city is well<br />
known for the Jemaa al Fna square, its<br />
snake charmers, magic potions, glorious<br />
cuisine and hidden palaces. But it now<br />
carries an international brand <strong>of</strong> magic resulting<br />
from the spectacular ryads, courtyard<br />
guesthouses renovated by international<br />
designers. Due to its geographical<br />
position in the middle <strong>of</strong> the desert but<br />
surrounded by snow cap mountains and<br />
with its cultural diversity, mixing african,<br />
Berber and arabic, marrakech remains<br />
a place <strong>of</strong> fascination for hedonists and<br />
idealists.<br />
Visitors will find it bewitching, with its<br />
contrasting colours - the ochre sandstone<br />
<strong>of</strong> its buildings, the green <strong>of</strong> its countless<br />
palm trees and the white <strong>of</strong> its snowcapped<br />
atlas mountains - as well as its<br />
remarkable monuments and immense<br />
gardens. See the menara Park, the royal<br />
theatre, the congress centre plus many<br />
other sights on this magical tour.<br />
a basic itinerary for this tour is provided<br />
