Geography School Trips to Morocco
The name ‘Marrakech’ originates from the meaning ‘Land of God’. The city is divided into two distinct parts: the Medina, the historical city, and the new European modern district. Outside the city, desert landscapes, enchanted gorges, high waterfalls, and 400-million-year-old fossil graveyards complete the various landscapes and their fascinating geological origins.
