The medina quarter of Marrakesh, Morocco, is characterized by its winding, maze-like streets. Since the intricately connected honeycomb of alleyways narrows to less than a meter (about 3 feet) wide in certain spots, the area is generally free from car traffic. Thousands gathered in Marrakesh’s central square today to watch Morocco become the first African nation to advance to the FIFA World Cup semifinals.—31.633083°, -7.986167°
