Koutoubia Mosque And Minaret

Built in 1120 and standing at 70m, this is the spiritual landmark of Marrakech.

The pulsing heart of the medina where Marakshi life is at its most colourful and vibrant, particularly when dusk falls on another balmy day.

Built in the 16th century and reputed to have been one of the most beautiful palaces in the world.

The Royal tombs of the Saadian dynasty are beautifully adorned with domed ceilings, intricate carvings and ornate plasterwork.

Wonderfully tranquil location set amidst olive groves and with the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains.

Wander around the labyrinth-like market and let your senses be assaulted by the sights, smells and sounds.

Watch in amazement as the hides are stretched, dyed and dried.

Take a romantic tour of the Medina and the city’s ramparts aboard a caleche (horse drawn cart) - best at dusk.

A visit to the bathhouse is a "must do" experience to wash away the stresses and strains of daily life.
