Resort's General Description

From humble beginnings as a mere crossroads on the trans-Saharan caravan routes, Marrakech today is the administrative and commercial capital of the Moroccan south, as well as the region's prime tourist destination.

Market/ Suitability

Once the favoured hangout of hippies, it now attracts a wide range of people including many well-off mid-30s middle-class travellers looking for something a bit different. It is a prime choice in terms of winter sun, sports facilities, exotic shopping and dining, street entertainment and fascinating excursions to the home of Morocco's ancient civilisations.

Accommodation

The hotels & Riads, with the full range of categories available, are high quality and good value for money compared with the competition in other popular Mediterranean holiday spots.

Eating Out

Again, the most exotic place to eat is the Place Jemaa el Fna, where improvised tent restaurants are set up in the evening, offering everything from fried fish to traditional Moroccan dishes like cous cous, tagine and pastilla (pigeon pie). The French influence here is reflected in the high cooking standards in most of the hotels and restaurants.

Entertainment

The storybook Place Jemaa el Fna with dancers, storytellers, troupes of acrobats, snake-charmers and musicians; the Koutoubia Mosque, dating from 1147 with its 220-ft minaret; the 16th-century Sa'adi Mausoleum; 18th-century Dar el-Beida Palace. A hop on/hop off open-top double-decker bus links some of the main sights.

Shopping

The souk of Marrakech must be one of the most fascinating shopping spots in the world, offering visitors a mind-boggling array of handicrafts, rugs, perfumes and spices, exotic fashions and fabrics. Berber blankets, jewellery, wrought iron, leather goods, ceramics and hammered copper and brass are of particularly good value and quality.
