Enveloped in an aura of mysteriousness and drama, exotic Marrakech offers tourists with a true taste of Moroccan existence. Set to the backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains increasing majestically from the Sahara, it is very the gateway to Morocco's red desert plus the base for the High Atlas area. Here, African, Berber and Arab Morocco come together in the clanging and banging of everyday living. Founded in 1062 and one of Morocco's four imperial cities, Marrakech Meteo is rife with splendid landscapes, famous landmarks and breathtaking old building - proof to the city's fascinating background. Start out in the maze of narrow streets and walkways leading to the city's souks, found near Djemaa el Fna, the city's main square. Below, regional providers tout every imaginable ware - from spices and regional create to pottery, metalworks, jewelry and rugs. Friendly providers usually gladly offer you a glass of mint tea, a traditional custom while you're expected to deal for their products. Whenever the cacophony becomes too much, take refuge in a rooftop cafe, from where you can observe the unfolding drama below. The middle of traditional Marrakech Meteo, the Dejmaa el Fna, comes to existence at sunset when story tellers, musicians, snake charmers, witch doctors, fire-eaters and acrobats ply their investments because locals clamor around. In sharp comparison to the Dejmaa el Fan, to the south lies a relaxing region of the Medina, with its several splendid monuments depicting the city's fascinating background. Marrakech is equally famous due to its plush and breathtaking gardens. The Agdal and Menara gardens are set amidst a dream landscape of orchids and olive groves. The Jardins Majorelle, first produced by a French painter and today owned by Yves Saint Laurent, are smaller in size but spectacular with their lily and cactus pool plus the beautiful pavilion housing the Islamic Art Museum. Marrakech is equally a perfect base for adventure travel throughout southern Morocco. On the west, mystical Essaouira sits about the Atlantic shoreline and has a beautiful seaside location. To the east, Ourzazate with its dramatic desert scenery starts the gateway to the Sahara. While sustaining a powerful bond to its background, Marrakech Meteo, with its spectacular location and bustling atmosphere is rooted in the current. This beautiful, mysterious city makes a perfect short city break from the several adventure destinations Morocco has to offer. It is a city imbued with the places, sounds and tastes of Morocco; it is very rather simply, a feast for the senses!
