Nestled amidst the foothills of the High Atlas, the town is centred around the bustling Jamaa el Fna, the first market square set deep within the medieval medina. As the sun sets, the city comes as alive as locals, and tourists flock to enjoy the entertainment provided by the resident acrobats, story-tellers, snake-charmers and dancers.

When the temperature rises, you can seek shelter in the colourful bars and restaurants or relax in the picturesque Menara and Majorelle Gardens.
