Marrakech is brimming with lush colors, intricate architecture, and bustling excitement, so it’s no wonder the city has long been a sought-after travel destination. Often called “the red city,” Marrakech is filled with clay-covered buildings that line the streets and meet at the city’s center— a vibrant marketplace where you can find any number of items from spices and local cuisine to tapestries, textiles, and more.
The city is nestled in a valley surrounded by a palm grove and the regal High Atlas Mountains, with the desert nearby. It’s a unique intersection of history and natural beauty that designers and travelers alike love. Here’s what your exterior design needs to transport you to your own private Moroccan-inspired resort.
