Marrakech City Breaks

Marrakech (Marrakesh) is the second largest city in Morocco. Marrakech is situated in south west Morocco at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. The city is known as the Red City after the magnificent red fortifications that surround it. Marrakech has an exotic traditional atmosphere and is home to the largest square in Africa, namely the “Djemaa al Fna” which comes alive during the day with acrobats, water sellers, dancers and musicians and by night becomes a huge outdoor restaurant, with numerous food stalls selling traditional Moroccan cuisine. In the alleys behind the square are the Souks (market stalls) selling a vast range of merchandise ranging from stringed instruments, brass, copper and leatherwork, to jewellery and clothing.

Places of interest include museums, Saadian Tombs, Bab Agnaou gate (one of the 19 gates of Marrakech built in the 12th century) and the leather tanneries. The Medina of Marrakech is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Marrakech hotels and apartments reflect the country’s historical architecture and offer quality, value for money accommodation. The city is served by Menara International Airport and is a hub for low cost cheap flight airlines; this has brought an increase in popularity for Marrakech city breaks as well as Holidays to Marrakech in general.
