Morocco’s Red City Shines in NYT’s 7 Great Cities

It is inconceivable for a Moroccan city to be absent when it comes to boasting the most appealing cities around the world. Hence, the Red City “Marrakech” secured the third spot on “Urban Walks, in 7 Great Cities, 7 Great Walks” published by New York Times.
The US daily had already featured Marrakech on previous occasions. This time, the newspaper focused on the Jemaa El Fena as an open-air market, and a hot tourist destination; the old medina and its maze of small pathways; and El Badi Palace- an outstanding and peaceful 16th-century vestige.
The Mellah, the city’s former Jewish neighborhood, was also showcased by the feature.
For gastronomes wishing to visit Marrakech, food markets include a wide variety of local delicacies and a lively, captivating ambiance for visitors. Finally, Rue Bin Lafnadek symbolizes the transition from the local to the international design scene where a rest break at the “Maison de la Photographie de Marrakech” is recommended.
The daily sought writers in cities around the world to suggest routes that would allow guests to immerse themselves and get a full grasp of the traveling experience.
Paris, Zadar, Seoul, Sydney, Saint-Louis, and Rio de Janeiro are the remaining six big cities with amazing walks.
