Marrakesh is enchantingly situated at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains, snow-capped for much of the year in contrast to the desert heat of the city. Summers can be hot, but winter is bright and crisp. Autumn brings delicious fresh produce into the markets and every spring, the Atlas Mountains are covered in flowers. Here, hospitality has been the hallmark of everyday life for centuries. A host of famous Moroccan landmarks are nestled within and protected by the long red ochre walls of Marrakesh.
