Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Marrakesh

    Red walls, palm trees and the white peaks of the High Atlas on the horizon: that is the first impression of Marrakesh, and on a clear winter morning, with snow on the mountains to the south, it is unforgettable. The city stands on the Haouz plain in central Morocco, a sprawling, noisy, beautiful place of nearly a million people, built around a walled medina that has been a centre of trade and power for close to a thousand years.
