Located inland, Marrakech is a lively and colourful African resort full of unmistakable charm and instant attraction. Surrounded by city walls and set at the meeting point of the Sahara and the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is as mystical and intriguing as it is diverse.
Take a camel ride into the Sahara and feel the warm desert breeze on your face, trek into the Atlas Mountains to see the snow topped peaks, then head into the city to explore the lively souks and bazaars. Haggle with the locals and walk away with some great deals and unique keepsakes.
As Morocco 's third largest city, Marrakech has no shortage of shops and is home to the country's most colourful and organised souks. A few hours wandering its stalls is definitely time well spent.
Likewise, restaurants and cafés are very easy to come by, where you can choose to indulge in the local treats and specialities, or play it safe with more international eateries. Come nightfall, the restaurants are a popular place to spend the evening, as is the resort's main square. Here you are entertained by snake charmers, fireaters and fortune-tellers, while you munch on a kebab or tajine sold from one of the numerous open-air stalls.
Marrakech is a true delight for the senses and is ideal for anyone looking to embrace the Moroccan culture to the full.
Transfers from Marrakech International Airport take between 20 and 45 minutes.
