One of the ancient capitals of Morocco, Marrakech has a long and fabled history. Surrounded by huge red mud walls and just 65km from the towering Atlas Mountains, modern Marrakech has lost none of that charm, with its soul firmly rooted in the Djemaa el-Fna – the huge square at the heart of life here.
Myriad souks lead away from the Djemaa el-Fna (thought to mean ‘assembly of the dead’), and they can keep a wanderer happy for hours. But it is the square itself, with its acrobats, storytellers, snake charmers, boxing matches and food stalls, that provides the main draw for the population of this great city, as well as a great place for people-watching.
Robyn Long Marrakech & the SaharaThis wonderful trip is great for people who want to see more of Morocco. The culture, people and landscapes will be something i won’t forget for a long time.
Joanne Packham Highlights of MoroccoThis tour really had it all in terms of a broad range of experiences that took you from the mountains to the coast to the desert and so much in between. Everyday brought something interesting to experience, photograph and talk about with fellow travellers. There were 13 travellers in our van, and that was a large enough group! Most of the accommodations were fine. We very much enjoyed dinners at the riads and the family home. It was an awesome and inspiring trip that brought a deeper appreciation of a Muslim country. Every sense was engaged! We found the people warm, welcoming, and kind. It is not likely that we will return (given that there are numerous bucket list countries yet to visit), and this trip felt like it truly satisfied our curiosity.
Fran Cohen Highlights of MoroccoTrip was very good—a lot of driving but we got to see a lot of the country.
