Marrakech city break

Marrakech View breaks >>

Marrakech is an undeniably exotic resort. An ancient desert trading post and once the cultural centre of the Islamic world, it is now one of the world's most desirable travel destinations. Marrakech is a city to stimulate the senses. Marvel at the serene Islamic and Andalucian architechture of its magnificent palaces and tranquil gardens.

Be hypnotised by ancient storytellers and snake charmers in the main square, against a backdrop of the call to prayer that resounds throughout the day and a soundtrack of traditional gnawa music. The Pink City is named for the hue of its ancient, fortress-like walls that cradle the medina - the medieval centre that both disorientates and captivates.

The chaotic and exotic medina is a world away from the extravagant tourist developments of the New City that are straight out of the 21st century. This is Marrakech at its most modern and site of the largest nightclub in Africa. Of course there is traditional entertainment too. Marrakech is an amazing city.

Koutoubia Mosque

The splendid 12th-century minaret of the Koutoubia mosque towers above the square of Jemma El Fna. Spiritual symbol and city landmark, this mosque is at the religious and physical heart of Marrakech.

Souks

Stretching from the north of Jemma El Fna all the way to Medersa Ben Youssef are these crowded, chaotic market stalls. Deep Aladdin's caves, they are a highlight whether you want to shop or not; just be prepared to get lost, its all part of the fun.

Palais de la Bahia

On the Northern edge of the Mellah, this palace is a cool retreat from the heat of the streets of the Kasbah. Delight in the series of paved courtyards and rooms with high, vaulted ceilings.

Palais El Badi

Originally adorned with marble, onyx and gold, this extravagant palace was built by Saadien ruler Ahmed El Mansour in 1578. It took 25 years to finish, and just half that for conquering sultan, Moulay Ismail, to strip it bare.

Tombeaux Saadiens

For several hundred years, these great Royal tombs remained untouched and they were not re-discovered until 1917. Princesses and children are buried amoung the great rulers of the powerful Saadien dynasty.

Musee d'Art Islamique

The intimate Museum of Islamic Art is in Jacques Majorelle's old painting studio. It now contains Yves Saint-Laurent's personal collection, including Berber jewellery and weapons, as well as some Majorelle paintings.
