Marrakech or Marakesh (Murrakush), known as the "Red City or Al Hamra," is a city in southwestern Morocco in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.
Like many North African and Middle Eastern cities, Marrakech has two main divisions: the old city (médina) and the modern city. Marrakech is served by Ménara International Airport- RAK is the code for the city. The city is called "Marrakech" in French, "Marrakesh" in English, and "Marrakesch" in German.
Yusuf ibn Tashfin, member of the Almoravides dynasty, founded the city in 1062. Prior to the reign of Moulay Ismail, Marrakech was the capital of Morocco. After his reign, his grandson moved the capital back to Marrakech from Meknès.
Many tourists take a trip from Marrakesh to visit the valley of the Ourika River in the Atlas Mountains or the valley of the Draa River in the south near the Sahara desert, but also to Middle Atlas Mountains: Waterfalls of Beni Mellal, and to the Essaouira on the Atlantic ocean.
