NOOK version of our illustrated travel guide will take you to Marrakech, Morocco.Marrakech, also known as Marrakesh, is one of the imperial cities of Morocco. It is the third largest city in Morocco after Casablanca and Rabat, and lies near the foothills of the snow capped Atlas Mountains and a few hours away from the foot of the Sahara Desert. Its location and contrasting landscape has made it a enviable destination in Morocco.The city is divided into two distinct parts: the Medina, the historical city, and the new European modern district called Gueliz or Ville Nouvelle. The Medina is full of intertwining narrow passageways and local shops full of character. In contrast, Gueliz plays host to modern restaurants, fast food chains and big brand stores.Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand.
