Marrakesh is known as the red city and centres on the medina and square of Jemaa-el-Fna. The Koutoubia Mosque is the main place of worship and entry is forbidden to non-Muslims. However, the architecture can be appreciated from the grounds, which are open to everyone. The numerous souks offer the chance to become fully involved in city life, elevating shopping to an attraction in its own right. The airport is 6km from the city centre.
