Since ancient times, travellers have been going to Marrakech, the second imperial city of Morocco, and the capital of the south. The Jema El-fna , is the most famous square in Africa which comes to life in the evening as story tellers, snake charmers, acrobats musicians , pipe players, dancers and fortune tellers gather to entertain vast crowds.
Marrakesh is also rich in culture and great places of interest that are a testimony to the country's long history.
The Saadian Tombs, an ornate sixteenth-century mausoleum, is one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in Morocco.
Even a short Marrakech City break is guaranteed to reveal many delights; perhaps just a view glimpsed through a doorway; the galleried ancient caravanserai; the distinctive Jewish quarter; the ramparts changing from ochre to rust in the changing light or simply the storks nesting on the rooftops. Anything feels possible exploring Marrakech, it's such a unique and timeless place.
The Atlas Mountains, a mere 30km south of Marrakesh and the greatest mountain range in North Africa, forms a dramatic backdrop to the City.
