Morocco holidays offer an enchanted glimpse of an ancient way of life

In Marrakesh, nomads, Berbers, Arabs, mountain people and Western tourists all mingle together to create an intoxicating blend of different cultures. Every conceivable commodity is for sale in the stalls, shops and souks, all of which nestle beneath the nearby snow-capped peaks of the stunning Atlas Mountains. Morocco holidays in Marrakech have it all!

We offer a choice of two luxury riads in Marrakech

If you're looking for a riad, Marrakech (an ancient caravan trading post) is the best place to start your search. Retaining its traditional atmosphere as a place of activity, trade and rest, you can pop into a hammam – a traditional North African bath – or try a spot of camel riding in the desert. If you fancy a change, why not take a trip to the seaside at Essourira, or trek high up in the Atlas mountains?

You can taste sizzling Moroccan delicacies, buy almost any commodity you could wish for in the souks, and then retire to one of our stunning, air-conditioned luxury Marrakech hotels (riads) to refresh and recoup after a magical day out in Morocco.
