You'll likely have read about Marrakesh, seen it on tv or heard about it from friends - but this is a place that needs to be seen to be believed.
This Moroccan city is renowned for its bustling markets, stunning architecture and natural beauty. In the heart of the city, Jemaa el-Fnaa is a dynamic square and marketplace filled with vibrant food stalls, street performers, musicians, and much more. It's a sensory experience and an excellent spot to learn about the local culture and indulge in the flavours of the local cuisine.
Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of twisting streets, lively souks, and breath-taking architecture. While you're there, stop at Bahia Palace, a gorgeous 19th-century palace with picturesque grounds and lovely gardens.
Majorelle Garden, noted for its cobalt blue architecture, exotic flora, and serene ambiance, is a great way to get away from the city. The Atlas Mountains are a 2,500-kilometer-long mountain range located near Marrakesh. The Ouzoud Waterfalls, one of Morocco's most famous natural attractions, are located in the centre of the mountains. It's an excellent location for hiking, swimming, or simply admiring the natural beauty. The Mountains are a great destination during winter when several ski resorts are open.
From the packed souk markets to the traditional Moroccan hammam spas, this capital is a treat for all the senses!
