Marrakech, Essaouira
1 / 4
Whenever anyone comes back from Marrakesh they always mention two things they loved the most; the people and the food. There’s much more to Marrakesh of course, but it’s the energy of the people and their lifestyle in this buzzing city that’s truly captivating. A wonderful sight-seeing city from lively markets, palaces, bohemian houses, modern quarter, museums and galleries - you can easily spend a few days here.
Step into the rich tapestry of Marrakesh, where ancient red walls envelop the historic medina, revealing a labyrinth of bustling souks and artisan workshops. Immerse yourself in the sensory delights of fragrant spices, handcrafted leather, exquisite jewelry, Berber carpets, textiles, and more. At the heart of it all, Jemaa el-Fnaa beckons with its vibrant market square, hosting nightly spectacles of storytellers, musicians, and performers.
Discover a world within the walls, where centuries-old riads have been transformed into charming hotels, offering peaceful retreats amidst the energetic city. Venture beyond the medina to Gueliz, home to lavish palaces showcasing Berber design and craftsmanship. Explore enchanting gardens like Yves Saint Laurent's Jardin Majorelle and the sprawling Menara gardens against the Atlas Mountains.
For those seeking modern luxury, upscale resorts inspired by Marrakesh's allure await just a short distance from the medina. While losing yourself in the maze of alleys is part of Marrakesh's charm, our expert private guides ensure you uncover the city's authentic gems, guiding you to hidden boutiques, skilled craftspeople, and dynamic galleries from a local's perspective. Experience Marrakesh like never before with our curated insights and personalized guidance.
Discover the unmatched beauty of the High Atlas Mountains, where snow-capped peaks adorn winter skies, and summers unveil a rugged, rocky landscape. Traverse winding roads through green valleys, adorned with Berber villages and wadis on the Sahara's edge. Hikers, from beginners to experts, can explore well-worn trails and craggy peaks that demand crampons. Witness an arid landscape turn into a ski resort from November to April. Escape the northern city heat with the refreshing allure of the High Atlas, an ideal stopover on your journey from cities to the desert.
On Morocco's Atlantic coast, approximately three hours west of Marrakesh, Essaouira beckons as a relaxed port town, embraced by the refreshing alizés trade winds from the ocean.
Formerly Mogador, the town adopted its present name from the 18th-century medina. 'Souira,' translating to a small fortress, defines the medina with its crenelated walls, enveloping palm-lined avenues and interconnecting atmospheric alleys. Explore the coastal charm of Essaouira, where history and tranquility converge, and let the alizés guide you through this unique Moroccan gem.
A mass of blue fishing boats undulate in the protected harbour whose catch can be found grilled on open air stands, while the planned streets of the medina contain restaurants, galleries, boutiques and an altogether more relaxed place to browse.
