Marrakesh known as the "Pearl of the South,"
is a city in southwestern Morocco in the
foothills of the Atlas ... all » Mountains.
Marrakech is a Berber word; it could mean the
country of God (murt 'n akush), but this is

interpretations [citation needed]. Marrakech

Marrakech has the largest traditional market
(souk) in Morocco and also hosts the busiest

Like many North African and Middle Eastern

old city (médina) and the modern city.
