Marrakech continues to inspire Westerners. And for good reason, the New York Times dedicated an article to him on February 2, soberly titled “36 hours in Marrakech”. From Guéliz to the medina via upscale places in Marrakech, the ocher city is told with poetry.

Marrakech has a “rich culture of new independent museums, galleries, gardens and creative spaces.” Assets that demonstrate “the talent of Moroccans and international artists”.
