Trips and Excursions
- A day in the Atlas Mountains - you can visit the Atlas Mountains in just under an hour, a world away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Most day trips pass through the stunning Ourika Valley and take you through traditional Berber villages
- This is your chance to dine at Sir Richard Branson's beautiful kasbah on the outskirts of Marrakech in magnificent surroundings. On the way, you pass through Berber villages and take in a traditional market
- Hamman - There are several hammans (Turkish Baths) around Djemma el Fna, catering for tourists, including scrubs and massages.
- Horse and Carriage rides - there is no shortage of people offering you a horse and carriage ride
- Djemma el Fna - this is the main square where you will find a huge array of stalls, dancers, acrobats, magicians, snake charmers and food stalls, while the adjacent medina is a maze of narrow alleys where you can buy almost anything especially spices, arts and crafts, jewellery, leather, pottery, woodworks, and souvenirs.
- Eat Well - there are some magical restaurants in Marrakech - one of our favourites is the restaurant in La Sultana, with tables places around the pool in the courtyard, and musicians playing in the background
- Following on from this, there is a cafe at one end of Djemma el Fna which has a terrace and the best views in Marrakech - you can't miss it, but it's best to go mid / late afternoon when things start to come to life in the square below.
- Palaces and Gardens - there are several within walking or horse and carriage distance - one favourite of mine is the Majorelle Gardens.
- Full day at Ouarzazate where the scenery is dramatic and many films have been made such as Lawrence of Arabia. Most day trips include a visit to a wonderful 11th century Kasbah called Ait Ben Haddou.
- Horse riding
- Traditional Moroccan Cooking Class at La Maison Arabe
- Marrakech Hot Air Balloon Flight
- Golf - there is actually a fairly decent course at Palmeraie just outside Marrakech, and we can guarantee you tee-off times if you pre-book
- Enjoy mint tea - beautifully made and served in your hotels or riads,

A typical itinerary
A typical holiday length is about 4 nights which gives just about enough time to see the best of Marrakech. So, it could be something like this: DAY 1 - arrive in Marrakech and relax in your riad. In the evening take a walk outside and find a good restaurant. DAY 2 - walk around the medina, the souqs and arrive at Djemma el fna square around late afternoon when everything starts to get going. DAY 3 - Take a trip to the Atlas Mountains, passing through wonderful scenery along the way. Tonight dine on the rooftop of your riad. DAY 4 - Visit some of the palaces and gardens of Marrakech, and perhaps enjoy the Moroccan show in the evening. DAY 5 - unfortunately fly home
Twin and Multi Centres
- The most usual twin centre is to combine Marrakech with a coastal resort such as Agadir or Essaouira. The transfers are approximately 4 hours between the two, and you would normally come back to Marrakech for your flight home.
- There are some very special places to stay just outside Marrakech, where is it a little cooler and certainly more peaceful. For example, Kasbah Tamadot - see http://www.kasbahtamadot.virgin.com/ for details. You could spend a couple of nights here, and a couple in the city.
