Marrakech is much more than a thousand-year-old city with a rich and eventful past. For Marrakech has an incomparable aura and, above all, a unique atmosphere that offers a real delight to the senses. What particularly characterizes the city is the pungent scent of spices rising from the souk. And the hurly-burly of people pressing their way through the streets and alleys of the medina, seemingly imprisoned between the walls of clay and straw, which are the colour of the setting sun and have given Marrakech the sonorous nickname 'El Hamra', the Red City.
In El Hamra people gladly cast aside all kinds of rules and conventions, and the city receives with open arms all those who do not shirk a challenge and are prepared to share its beauty with others: architects, interior decorators and designers, or the inspired individual who for a shorter or longer period can call himself 'Marrakechi' - resident of Marrakech - and make a long-cherished, personal dream come true. Those who fall for the magical charm of Marrakech find a neglected riad or abandoned palace, and have the courage to rescue it from the ravages of time. They reinvest the buildings with their former glory and in so doing rediscover long-forgotten materials and methods. It is partly thanks to these committed people that we have been able to evoke in this book, using both text and images, the enchanting character of Marrakech.

Het magische karakter van Marrakesh, in tekst en beeld.
Wat de stad vooral kenmerkt, is de prikkelende geur van kruiden die uit de soeks opstijgt. De wirwar van een mensenmassa die zich door de straten en stegen van de medina perst en als het ware gevangenzit tussen muren van leem en stro die de kleur hebben van de ondergaande zon en Marrakesh hebben verrijkt met de ronkende bijnaam El Hamra, de Rode Stad.
In El Hamra ontdoet men zich graag van allerlei regels en conventies, en de stad ontvangt met open armen al diegenen die niet terugdeinzen voor een uitdaging en bereid zijn haar schoonheid met anderen te delen: architecten, decorateurs en designers, of de bevlogen enkeling die zich voor korte of langere tijd Marrakshi, inwoner van Marrakesh, mag noemen en hier een lang gekoesterde, hoogstpersoonlijke droom waarmaakt. Degenen die gevallen zijn voor de betoverende charme van Marrakesh hebben een vervallen riad of verlaten paleis bemachtigd en de moed weten op te brengen deze te onttrekken aan de tand des tijds. Ze hebben de gebouwen weer hun luister van weleer teruggegeven en daarbij materialen gebruikt die men reeds lang verloren waande. Ze zijn het zout in pap van ons bestaan. Mede dankzij deze liefhebbers is het ons gelukt het magische karakter van Marrakesh in dit boek met tekst en beeld weer te geven.
