Marrakech is a cultural experience for all the senses; take in the colours of the ‘Red City’, the smell of exotic spices and the taste of traditional Moroccan tagine as you discover a new world. The former imperial city sits in western Morocco and is filled to the brim with different sights and sounds, you’ll find mosques, gardens and souks around every corner, just waiting to be discovered.
Delight at the rich landscape that surrounds Marrakech, from huge sand dunes, the Dadès Gorges and the Atlas Mountains. The city is also home to an oasis of plant life, for example, in the Menara gardens at the foot of the mountains you’ll see orchards of orange trees and olive groves. No city better represents its country than Marrakech; a vibrant hub offering plenty for holidaymakers.
Wander around the maze that is Marrakech’s medina, an old town lined with high walls that holds much of the city’s rich history. Within this medieval quarter, visitors can find the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in the city with a tall tower as its focal point, dominating over its surroundings. Close by is Jemaa el-Fnaa, the main square in Marrakech which is used by locals and tourists alike. Here, you will discover market stalls selling a variety of items from food and drink to traditional medicines.
There are a large number of souks scattered throughout Marrakech and it would not be a proper holiday here if you did not explore one. You’ll find local tradespeople selling everything but the kitchen sink, so stock up on souvenirs like pottery, delicate jewellery or leather goods and of course, choose from the colourful array of spices on offer, a well-known image of markets in Morocco.
Staying only 15 minutes from the centre, you can easily explore this vibrant city on our 4 Star All Inclusive Marrakech holiday. Take the shuttle from your hotel straight into town, where you can spend the day soaking up Morrocan culture. Sitting at the edge of the medina, visitors can make the trip to the famous Bahia Palace to admire its beauty and wander through the extensive gardens. The palace’s name means ‘brilliance’, and it is certainly one of the greatest in the city, housing decorative Moroccan and Islamic style ceilings, floors and lush gardens.
Ensure you leave Morocco feeling revitalised and renewed by visiting one of Marrakech’s hammams, a public bath experience where you can relax while your body and mind are cleansed in the Moroccan steam rooms. If you visit a private hammam, you’ll often find that they have even more spa treatments to choose from.
Exploring Marrakech can still be enjoyable at a slower pace. As you head away from the bustling city centre, wander past beautiful riads showing off gorgeous traditional Moroccan architecture, before visiting the Majorelle Garden, a two and half acre botanical garden filled with a collection of natural flora and fauna alongside ornamental lakes. The french quarter of the city, Gueliz, is home to many upmarket Moroccan and European restaurants, chic bars, shops and art galleries, perfect for a quieter afternoon.

You’ll stay at the Eden Andalou Aquapark & Spa, one of the most beautiful 5 stars hotels in Marrakech. With a view of the Atlas Mountains, you can relax and unwind here after your days out spent exploring this exciting city.
