Marrakech

Holidays in Marrakech, Morocco One of Moroccos most important cultural centres, Marrakech is a lively former capital famed for its markets and festivals. Its wildly beating heart is the Place Djemaa el-Fna, a huge square in the old city. Rows of open-air food stalls are set up here and mouth-watering aromas fill the air. Jugglers, storytellers, snake charmers, magicians, acrobats and assorted benign lunatics take over the rest of the space. The souqs (markets) here are among the best in Morocco and a large budget hotel strip makes exploring the old city area cheap and easy. Back   Visa and Foreign Office Information Health Information

Things to do Visit the colourful Majorelle Gardens by horse drawn carraige. The souk of Marrakesh must be one of the most fascinating shopping spots in the world and well worth a visit.
