Tour Plan

Day 1

Marrakech has long been Morocco's top destination, attracting visitors who come to soak up its vibrant culture and be dazzled by its rich history and bustling atmosphere. Stroll through the labyrinthine medina and shop for traditional wares, sample local food at the Jemaa el-Fna square and marvel at the imposing Koutoubia Mosque and the ornate Bahia Palace, you won't be disappointed. The exotic Jardin Majorelle is also worth the visit, and Marrakech makes an excellent base for expeditions to the Sahara Desert and the nearby Atlas mountains.

Additional Information

The name Marrakech originates from the Amazigh (Berber) words mur (n) wakush, which means "Land of God". It is the third largest city in Morocco after Casablanca and Rabat, and lies near the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and a few hours away from the foot of the Sahara Desert. Its location and contrasting landscape has made it an enviable destination in Morocco.

The city is divided into two parts: the Medina, the historical city, and the new European modern district called Gueliz or Ville Nouvelle. The Medina is full of intertwining narrow passageways and local shops full of character; it also contains the large square Djemaa El-Fna, where many hotels are located and tourists, locals and vendors congregate. In contrast, Gueliz plays host to modern restaurants, fast food chains and big brand stores.

Marrakech is the main tourist destination in Morocco and thus it is also a place where many Moroccans try to become rich fast by ripping off tourists. This mentality is so widespread that even Moroccans are now ripped off whenever possible so that they call the city "Marrakech, Arnakech" - which rhymes in Arabic and translates to "Marrakech, Mafia". See the Scam section for more information.
