(MOROCCO) Marrakech the Red City


Marrakech , nicknamed the Red City or ocher City is a city in Morocco, in the interior, at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.
Its the Morocco's fourth largest city after Casablanca, Fez and Meknes. The city is divided into two distinct parts: the medina or historic (ten kilometers pregnant) and the new city whose principal districts are called Gueliz and Hivernage, Askar Douar Sidi Youssef Ben Ali, M'hamid Daoudiat. Guéliz is now the commercial city center. It was founded by the French during the Protectorate. The Hivernage contains many hotel complexes. In recent years, the city expanded in the periphery, especially to the west with the appearance of new residential neighborhoods like the Targa region and the extension of the Mohammed VI Avenue or north Tamansourt.

The city is a tourist mecca, more than two million tourists each year. It is also the starting point for many excursions for hikers willing to browse the Atlas or the desert to the south.

Also, the city has become a favorite destination of "dental tourism" since the quality of dental care has increased dramatically in recent years as their cost is relatively low [disputed relevance].

The city is now focusing on luxury tourism. Marrakech has indeed become a favorite destination for French celebrities who love her very well preserved charm which combines luxury, refinement and authenticity. The city has been described as a "dream Miles-one nights" by Arielle Dombasle which invests in France to raise awareness of this city of the French. 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 Marrakech and its acquisition in 1980 of Majorelle Garden. Marrakech becomes a place renowned for its culture, arts, traditions and architectural heritage that gradually attracted many famous artists. However, it is only since the 2000s that tourism has grown considerably.
