Marrakesh Holidays

Embark on a thrilling adventure in one of Africa's most sought-after cities, the "Red City” of Marrakesh, where age-old traditions blend seamlessly with modern delights.

Lose yourself in the enchanting labyrinth of the medina, where vibrant souks offer a treasure trove of handmade crafts, shiny pots, aromatic spices and colourful textiles. Marvel at the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, its towering minaret dominating the skyline, before strolling through the exquisite Jardin Majorelle, a botanical oasis bursting with exotic flora or the stunning Ourika Valley, with its cascading waterfalls and wondrous mountain vistas. Soak up the vivacious atmosphere of Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where snake charmers, storytellers, potion sellers and street performers captivate your senses.

And oh the flamboyant city feasts! Marrakesh lays down the red carpet with fluffy couscous dishes, fragrant hearty tagines with melt in the mouth lamb and delicate pastries in charming rooftop restaurants. With a generous dose of jewel dripping belly dancing, infectious music, trendy nightclubs and velvet cushioned bars you’ll be caught up in the rapture of a very starry night before you know it!

Whether haggling over a golden lamp with the promise of a genie, enjoying a traditional hammam, or hopping into a hot air balloon ride over the mesmerising desert, Marrakesh promises richness in culture, a warmth in hospitality and a hit to the senses that's rivalled by Europe's top tourist destinations.
