Marrakech
Marrakesh is an imperial city known as the Pearl of the South, it is one of the cities that attracts a big number of tourists in Morocco and is the starting point for many excursions for those who wish to browse the Atlas or the desert a little further to the south.

The city is now focusing on luxury tourism, thanks to the massive investments by the Europeans, especially French people. Marrakesh has indeed became a favourite destination for French celebrities who love its very well preserved charm which combines luxury, elegance and authenticity. Many French stars have already bought their private "riad" in the heart of the Medina. The appearance of this luxury tourism dates back to 1967 with the arrival of Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakesh and his acquisition in 1980 of the Majorelle garden. Marrakesh is a place known for its culture, arts, traditions and architectural heritage which gradually attracted many artists. However, it is only since the 2000s that tourism in this city has grown considerably.

So if you are visiting Morocco for the first time, it is the best city to begin with...
