Holidays in Marrakech, Morocco

Marvellously Marrakech

Wander the labyrinthine souks – not just to barter for a rainbow of treasures, but to soak up the sights, sounds and smells of the medina, and to spy all the different craftsmen at work. But it’s not a shopping terrain for the faint-hearted: prepare to haggle your heart out. Good buys include leather bags and slippers, pierced metalwork and spices.

 

Don't go home without

… trying a hammam treatment, a traditional bathing ritual in which you are scrubbed with exotically scented savon noir (usually made with olive oil, and sometimes with added cedarwood, eucalyptus or cinnamon) and exfoliated until your skin is as soft as the proverbial new-born baby's.

Getting there

Holidays in Marrakech, Morocco

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
Fly to Ménara International Airport with BA (www.ba.com), Air France, Royal Air Maroc or its budget carrier, Atlas Blue (www.atlas-blue.com) – although it’s not the slickest operation. EasyJet flights from Gatwick are a good option.
Automobiles
There is not much point renting a car: all hotels can organise a pick-up from the airport, and the centre of town is only a 15-minute drive away. If this is your first time in Morocco, navigating can be confusing. Plus the traffic can be somewhat chaotic, what with having to avoid donkeys and horse-drawn carts.
