Marrakech 2024.
I went to Marrakech in June 2024 for a short break with my friend Lisa.
Marrakech is the fourth-largest city in Morocco. It is one of Morocco's four imperial cities and the capital of the Marrakech–Safi region. The city lies west of the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.
The city was founded in 1070 by Emir Abu Bakr ibn Umar as the capital of the Almoravid dynasty. The Almoravids established the first major structures in the city and shaped its layout for centuries to come. The red walls of the city, built by Ali ibn Yusuf in 1122–1123, and various buildings constructed in red sandstone afterwards have given the city the nickname of the "Red City" or "Ochre City". Marrakech grew rapidly and became a cultural, religious, and trading centre.
Today, I flew to Marrakech for my short stay in the Moroccan city.
