The “red city” in south-west Morocco - with its Medina that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985 - embodies the cliché of the Arabian Nights like no other city. Magnificent palaces, winding alleys, exotic gardens, brightly coloured spices and brimming markets - all of this is indeed easy to find within the city walls of Marrakech. However, there is also so much more to discover. During our live city tour, we will look behind the facade of the postcard romance; among other things we want to know: How are the tourist metropolis and its inhabitants doing under the influence of Corona?

The highest building in town, the Koutoubia mosque, is close to the main square Djemaa-el-Fna square, where you will not be able to hear your own word through the bustle of streetfood-stalls, jugglers and snake charmers. From the terraces of the surrounding restaurants, you get the best view of the spectacle in the charming light of the sunset. At least this used to be the vibe of “Kech” - the city that never sleeps – until the pandemic was forcing it to take a break.
These days, it seems, Marrakech is slowly coming back to life. Even if many tourist attractions are still closed and there is an eerie silence in the souks - in the parts of the city that are mainly inhabited by locals, you can hardly tell the difference on the daily vegetable markets.
