If people want to experience the exotic Middle East, the best place to do it is in Marrakesh. The city offers contrasting attractions and activities for the visiting traveler.
Travelers will be kept busy with sounds and sights at the Djemaa el Fna which is Marrakesh's bustling, central square. Here, tourists can shop at souks, enjoy the music musicians, have their fortunes read, or be entertained by acrobats, snake charmers and fire eaters. Tourists can also enjoy Marrakesh up in the air with the ballooning activities available in the city. Artists and culinary enthusiasts are also welcome in Marrakesh. Available in the city is the Dar Liqama Culinary Course which is more than just a culinary course but rather a luxury holiday complete with excursions and pampering. Artists can also learn and enjoy famous watercolor paintings in Marrakesh.
It is not only hustle and bustle that occurs in Marrakesh. There is also a more serious side to this city. There is a section of the Medina, south of Djemaa el Fna that contains a concentration of the city's mosques, tombs, and traditional as well as historical architecture.
