The city is famous with many interesting sights and was ranked as top tourist destination for 2015 according to the tourist site Trip Advisor. It is called “the Pearl of Africa”, and in one of the Berberian dialects the name “Marrakesh” means “The land of God”. Many Bulgarian geodesists, engineers and technicians have worked in this city. The world cinema festivals take place here. This year the First congress of the Union of the Mediterranean geodesists (UMG) took place, accompanied by a remarkable exhibition, where geodetic instruments were shown, as well as geodetic software and different geodetic products. Here in 1994 the World Trade Organization was established. Some of the sights are the historical part of the town – Medina, the “Jemaa el-Fnaa” square, where tourist can see performances by conjurers, acrobats, jugglers, snake handlers, story-tellers and musicians, adding medieval spirit to the night air, the botanical garden “Jardin Majorelle”, the “Koutoubia” mosque, the “Bahia” palace, the “Dar Si Said” museum with the wonderful collection of Morrocan handicraft articles, the fortress walls of the city.
