MARRAKECH

Marrakech is a city in southwestern Morocco in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and it is known as the "Red City or Al Hamra." It is a town in Morocco built between 1070-1072 by Almoravides. Today it is the fourth biggest city in Morocco with 1 000 000 inhabitants and covering an area of 6.5 km2. We can find a lot of monuments in this town such as the Casbah, monumental doors, gardens etc Marrakech grew quickly and became a cultural and religious center. There are many cultured personnalities in Marrakech, including singers and actors...

I chose to speak of Morocco because I find this country is beautiful and also because the weather is hot, it is on the coast and the landscapes are beautiful.
