The city of Marrakesh (or Marrakech) in Morocco, Northern Africa, imaged by the Copernicus EU Sentinel-2A satellite in 2016. Marrakesh is not Morocco’s capital (that’s Rabat), nor the country’s largest city (that’s Casablanca). It’s not even the oldest Moroccan city (that’s Fes). Nevertheless, Marrakech is the unofficial cultural centre of Morocco and its Medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
