Marrakech prevails over other Moroccan cities as the unofficial cultural center thanks to the winding alleys of its vast medina, contrasted with the modern malls and restaurants of the Nouvelle Ville.

Golfing destination
Marrakech is becoming one of the leading golfing destinations. It offers more than 12 golf courses and has received many awards since 2015.
