The Medina of Marrakesh, the city’s historic heart, on a handy size, well-presented & very detailed, double-sided street plan from Medinacarte with a wealth of tourist information, including locations of main hotels, individual souks annotated to show what types of goods are sold there, etc. Unlike other maps of Marrakesh, this plan names not only the main streets within the Medina but also smaller ones, including over 400 derb passages. Colouring differentiates between buildings of traditional or modern architecture, indicates public parks or gardens, street markets, etc. Symbols mark various facilities: main hotels, cafes & restaurants, banks, ranks for taxis or horse drawn carriages, public phones & internet cafes, medical help, etc. The route of the cross-Medina bus line is shown with stops. Streets with souks & markets are highlighted, indicating what goods are sold there & where appropriate, doors which are locked at night. The plan is accompanied by an index of streets & derbs, a list of main hotels marked on it, plus a list of GPS coordinates for 36 important buildings & locations within the area. On the back cover of the map there are two at-a-glance plans highlighting locations of main points of interest & of the Medina’s gates & districts. The twelve main points of interest are pictured, with brief description, opening hours & position on the map. Map legend & accompanying text are in French & English. Whilst the main map covers the Medina area of Marrakesh, accompanying insert shows mains streets in the centre of Gueliz
- the new town, indicating selected facilities.PLEASE NOTE. Medinacarte also publish a larger size street plan of the Medina, which in addition shows locations of over 600 hotels & guesthouses.
