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.

Rachel Sadler Highlights of MoroccoThis was an amazing trip. We packed a lot in to 2wks. Cities, mosques, kasbahs, medinas, countryside, desert camping (including camels!), mountain villages, hikes, a fishing port. Oh, and some shopping! There were some long travel days, but they didn’t feel long… the bus was comfortable (and our driver Hassan was excellent!), with frequent stops for sights / loo breaks. Also, the scenery was interesting. Our guide Mohamed was superb, one of the best we’ve ever had (and we’ve been lucky with Exodus to always have excellent guides, so the standard is high). One example… We had an unexpected issue with the bus on about day 3 which wasn’t fixable locally, and we all assumed the itinerary for that day might need to change, or at least that we’d be delayed for a while. But thanks to Mohamed’s organisational skills, enough taxis turned up within 20mins to take us all on to our next scheduled stop, with Mohamed following once he’d sorted a replacement bus.
