Marrakech City Breaks

A guide to Marrakech

Only Marrakech offers such a uniquely exotic short holiday destination, so close to home. Even the shortest of breaks will provide a lifetime’s memories: an astonishing sensual profusion of colours, aromas, sounds, sights and sensations in a fabulously evocative medieval walled city, set at the foot of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Explore the souks, watch fire eaters and snake charmers in Jemaa-el-Fna, sample incredible food stalls, dine on romantic rooftop restaurants, sip mint tea in elegant colonial-style cafes and generally soak up the atmosphere. The city brilliantly caters to the needs of 21st century tourists, whilst maintaining its uniquely traditional medieval atmosphere.

Uniquely exotic destination

Short breaks in Marrakech will reveal amazing sights, and an astonishingly different culture from the moment you arrive. Visitors will inevitably focus on the fabulous medieval walled medina: an endlessly fascinating maze of winding streets, beautiful gardens and extraordinary markets, as well as the modern Guéliz area, with its fine colonial Art Deco cafes. Marrakech offers tremendous quality, characterful modern hotel accommodation and excellent service, and are a paradise for all lovers of exotic food and romantic dining

Unforgettable culture, fairy tale atmosphere

Life gravitate around the incredible Jemaa-el-Fna main square, especially after sunset, when it becomes an unforgettably evocative cosmopolitan scene, attracting tourists and locals alike with its hot desert winds, snake charmers, dancers, acrobats, fire-eaters, fortune-tellers, performers and wonderfully atmospheric food stalls. Weekend breaks in Marrakech will also feature the amazing souks: endless evocative markets selling a mind-boggling array of products including spices, carpets, fabrics, metalwork and jewellery. Sunny weather and affordable flights are available all year round, and make Marrakech by far the most popular of Morocco short breaks.
