Red City,
Cinnamon City, Pearl of the South... over the near-thousand years
since its foundation, Marrakech has known more
than it’s fair share of nicknames.
From its very beginnings and thanks to the magical natural surroundings
where it is set on a plain - embraced by the formidable Atlas mountains
to the East and South - this place has harboured the dreams and fantasies
of Heads of states, travellers of all breeds, movies stars and artists
alike.

All at once welcoming, mysterious, enchanting, this first great city
north of the Sahara exercises a power of seduction which makes it an
irresistible magnet for an increasing number of holidaymakers and one
of the top world-destination for anyone in search of exoticism.
A walk
in the Medina (the old town) will take you through a fantastic maze
of narrow streets and alleyways, where every corner seems to hold the
promise of a new curiosity and the senses are teased by an swirl of
colours, fragrances, sights and sounds.
Find for yourself how the locals,
a fine and subtle human mix of Arabs, Amazighes (original inhabitants),
Jews and Europeans live up to their well-deserved reputation as a most
welcoming people. This unique human blend make up the complex soul
of this African city, each and everyone sharing one common feature:
an outstanding sense of hospitality.

Close enough for a long weekend, ideal for a few days before or after
a trek in the Atlas or a trip to the desert. Or combined with a visit
to one of the other Imperial cities of Morocco or a stay on the coast.
Or just stay, explore and chill...
