Marrakech

Marrakech - Morocco's city of entertainment

Marrakech is truly the city of entertainment in Morocco, set in a spectacular beachfront location at the foot of the peaks of the Atlas mountains.

Visit the beautifully decorated palace of Dar Si Said, now a museum, and marvel at the intricate tilework, Andalusian Garden and displays of Moorish jewellery, ceramics and weaponry. Truly a treasure trove of design that reflects the unique qualities of Morocco.

The world famous square, Jemaa el Fna, is home to a host of entertainers such as acrobats, pipe musicians, drummers and dancers… and you might even spot the odd snake charmer! Lose yourself in the labyrinth of light and shade as you wander around the interesting alleys and small squares which are dedicated to a host of local crafts, where you can bargain for your goods in true Moroccan style.

There is plenty of choice for meals, including the spectacle of the Jemaa el Fna food stalls, many inexpensive cafés and restaurants, and a number of upmarket restaurants which offer Morocco’s traditional cuisine at its very best. Take afternoon tea at La Mamounia Hotel, whose grandeur has been enjoyed by the likes of Winston Churchill, Orson Wells and Richard Nixon.

Marrakech offers a city break experience that is both unique and exciting, a combination of tradition and truly mystical colour and sights.
