A Unique and Fulfilling Destination…

Looking for authenticity and strangerhood 

Marrakech guide tours is the key success

for a really occuring adventure.

​

Marrakech is a city in the grip of a feverish imagination – a thousand year old carnival with its plentiful storytellers and soothsayers, acrobats and water sellers. 

 

making their way through the labyrinth of alleyways and past 100’s of minarets. An enchanted place where time has been suspended, giving you a glimpse of its 

 

rich and remote roots, its ancient past still planted firmly and un-shakingly in the present.

 

There is also a modern Marrakech, with luxury hotels and streets with impatient mopeds and guides, all co-existing seamlessly with the past. It is a Berber rather 

 

than Arab city; the traditional capital of Atlas tribes, Mahgrebis from the plains, Saharan nomads and slaves from beyond the desert. It was founded around 1062 

 

and in 1126 the first circuit of walls were raised from “tabia” – the red mud of the plains.

 

Marrakech is completely magical, a mélange of Islamic green against the bare, brown plain of Haouz with the snowy High Atlas rearing up behind like a tidal wave 

 

towering through the haze. The focus of every approach to the city is the Koutoubia Mosques minaret, Marrakech’s crowning centrepiece with its 203 feet high 

 

tower, the very element of Moslem architecture.

 

Marrakech is one of the most hectic cities on earth, so for many two or three days is enough. We would recommend staying in a Marrakech Riad in the city centre 

 

for a shorter stay, and combine it with staying in the High Atlas Mountains or on the coast.

 

Alternatively, Marrakech is an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding area, so many people stay for 7 nights or longer, and often opt for a boutique 

 

hotel or Maison d’hote outside of the city where it tends to be a little quieter.
