Combine heady Marrakech with the peaceful Atlas Mountains, including a choice of hotels, an excursion, private transport and return flights
Your journey begins with a stay in the bustling ‘imperial city’ of Marrakech, a place that really stimulates all senses: from the waft of deliciously scented spices that follows you as you stroll around the markets, to haggling with sellers on the stalls and in the souks, and the taste of freshly prepared Moroccan tagine… In the souks of the medina – the old historic part of town – you can shop to your heart's content for colourful souvenirs to take back home, and in Marrakech’s main square, Djemaa el Fna, you will experience total immersion amongst snake charmers, musicians and food stalls – this place truly comes alive after dark and pulsates until the small hours.
After discovering the city, your journey continues to the majestic Atlas Mountains, an altogether more calm and tranquil setting where you can recover from the enchanting labyrinth that is Marrakech. Surrounded by lush nature, peace and quiet reigns here, and you will be able to completely relax and unwind. Breathe in the fresh mountain air, cool off in the pool, and treat yourself to a massage. Can you already feel the warm North African breeze on your skin?
