Introducing holidays in Marrakech

Discover a Marrakech holiday. A mixture of sensuous luxury and aesthetic simplicity, the historic Moroccan city of Marrakech attracts a fashionable crowd of winter sun seekers. The 'old city', is a pink-walled Medina and boasts a greater density of boutique accommodations than anywhere else in the world and the multitude of emporia will keep shopaholics busy for days. Even non-shoppers will be amazed by the diversity, colour and vibrancy surrounding the souks. A combination of fantastic nightclubs, buzzing streets and delicious Moroccan food make this the most fasinating place to be.

Well planned visits off the beaten track to a variety of sites will allow you to discover the true depth of this city.

You must take a trip through the medina or a stroll to Place Jemaa El Fna. It will be the beginning of your adventure through time. Your reference points will change as you go back in time. You are no longer interested in the number of miles travelled. The past suddenly appears in the form of interesting characters, storytellers, street performers, snake charmers and magicians dispensing secret potions and medicines.

Much of Marrakech's secrets are hidden away, such as the famous riads (riad, garden). Riads are houses, built around a central patio, whose outside walls are entirely closed. They are often converted into restaurants or guesthouses and are a symbol of the Moroccan art of fine living
