Marrakesh

About:

The last stop on the legendary trans-Saharan trade route, Marrakesh has been delighting visitors for centuries. There is now a ‘new’ Marrakesh but the adventure is in the Medina (old city) with its twisting alleys and side streets with seemingly everything for sale and someone there to sell it to you. Head for Djemaa el Fna in the centre to experience the essence of the city or to one of the city’s exquisite riads for a calming break from the bustle.

To Do list:

• Watch the street theatre and live music in the Djemaa el Fna
• Enjoy a cooling drink or mint tea in one of the exquisite riads in the old city
• Haggle for carpets in one of the souqs
• Take a day trip to the high Atlas mountains to enjoy the cool mountain air
• Stroll though the labyrinthine alleyways of the old Medina
