Gueliz is a sharp contrast from the ancient medina: a modern city center that's full of international restaurants, bars, and both mainstream and designer boutiques. If you have time, it's worth spending an afternoon in Gueliz to get a better understanding of the city. In truth, Marrakech is in some ways as contemporary as it is traditional, and it is becoming more cosmopolitan and drawing more attention from the rest of the world every day.
