Marrakech is an ancient capital under the rule of the * * * dynasty in Morocco, one of the four Dahuang City Site sites, known as Nandu, and also a tourist attraction in Morocco. Morocco's name also comes from this capital. This colorful place is the most popular tourist city in Morocco. The air here is filled with a mixture of * * *, France, Portugal and Spain. It's a four-hour journey from Casablanca to Marrakech. Entering the inland of North Africa along the highway, you can see that the top of Atlas, the highest mountain in North Africa, has been covered with snow, and the air is beginning to smell of roast mutton. When tourists come here, they must not miss Djemaa el Fna Square, which is surrounded by small shops of leather handicrafts and clothing. This is the life stage for all kinds of Jianghu artists, and there are snake monkey performances, folk music, dancers, masons and photo album vendors everywhere. They spare no effort to attract customers, and the competition is fierce and interesting. At night, the style of the square is very different, and it has become a modern night market with many famous Moroccan dishes. Visitors can visit historic sites, taste French coffee or mint tea, and add delicious Moroccan dishes, which is very interesting.

Marrakech was built in 1062 under the rule of Muwaheidu dynasty, and it has a history of more than 900 years. The famous "Red City" (the building color is reddish brown) was built in 1070, which is considered as pure architectural art. The famous building in the city, Kutubia Mosque, was built in 1 157. Its steeple is made of red stone and 77 meters high. It was the tallest building in North Africa at that time. It could be seen from any angle of the city, and it was like a "lighthouse" for tourists. There are nearly 654.38 million date palm trees scattered in the suburbs, and the scenery is very spectacular.

From12nd century to16th century, there were some famous historical figures in Marrakech, who were called "Seven Saints". Some people still say that going to the Seven Saints is going to Marrakech.

Marrakech is a red city. Whether it is the imperial palace, the old city where the poor live, or the hotel where Europeans spend their holidays, the color of the exterior wall is mud red. In the cold winter, this pottery red makes people feel warm more easily. However, there is probably only so much warmth that tourists can feel in Marrakech. Because from the moment you are ready to approach the city, it has become the goal pursued by some people.

Not * * *, you are not allowed to enter the * * * temple. The market in the old city is not far from the * * * Temple, with a huge square in the middle. In the square, jugglers, hand-painted, fortune tellers and so on gather together. New arrivals can't help but raise their cameras frequently. People who think you filmed him will reach out and ask you for money.

Djemaa el Fna Square is full of vitality, where you can find first-class Babouches (Moroccan traditional slippers) and high-quality jellaba (Moroccan traditional costumes). Divided into shopping areas according to clothing, leather goods, carpets, shoes and hats, you will still get lost if you are careful when walking in a small street. From sunrise to late at night, Djemaa el Fna Square never sleeps. You can see Indian snake dancers, people selling fragrant tea, Moroccan old people telling stories and fortune telling, various street performances, and countless stalls selling food, drinks, clothing, carpets, decorations, leather and handicrafts. Just like Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong and Xintiandi in Shanghai, it's all because of Djemaa.

Marrakech's huge market is specially designed for tourists, occupying the periphery of the old city. The goods in the shop are nothing more than pottery, leather goods, jewelry, wrought iron, carpets and so on. And it's overwhelming and beautiful. Adhere to the principle of origin shopping, I'm just wandering around here, and the store is entangled and goes straight. One or two pots of flowers and plants in front of someone's window deep in the alley have added a lot of vitality to some dirty and dilapidated old cities.

In addition, in Marrakech, the phenomenon of killing tourists is very serious, and tourists are often overcharged under various excuses. On the morning of leaving Marrakech, Ma, who came back from the market alone, said that she finally knew the price of the local people, only one third! Tipping is a must in Morocco, especially in Marrakech. The waiter decides whether to smile or provide consulting service according to the tip. It can be seen that the waiter in a coffee shop is probably very dissatisfied with the tip of 10 dirham. When the horse asked for directions, it deliberately pointed in the opposite direction.

There are 14 main ancient city gates in Marrakech, which were built by Ali ibn-Yusuf, king of Almolavid dynasty, in 1 126. There are many palaces and ancient tombs in the city, but the most famous one is Gemaa El-Funa Square, which attracts tourists from all over the world.

Most tourists to Marrakech are French and German tourists. In the eyes of many Europeans, Morocco is inextricably linked with drugs, especially Tangier, where Europeans like to enjoy the sunny beach. Marrakech is another colorful place, and it is preparing to develop itself into a tourist and business conference center.

It is hot from June to September, especially in the Sahara desert. The temperature difference between the desert and the mountains is quite large in the morning and evening.

Currency: the local currency is Moroccan dirham, which is basically equivalent to RMB; Dollar to Moroccan dirham 1: 10, the average monthly salary of Moroccans is between 750 and 900, which is about half of that of big cities in China.

No.95 gasoline is about 0.92 Euro/liter, which is more expensive than the oil price in Spain. The price of decent hotels has caught up with that of major European cities.
