Roaming the streets of the Moroccan city of Marrakech arouses the senses from bustling markets & alluring aromas of rich spice to colourful commodities and centuries old architecture tinged red from desert winds.

Marrakech features within TripAdvisor’s Top 3 Top Destinations in the World and also plays host to the Travellers Choice (2016) Top Landmark in all of Africa. In the old part of the city, the medina quarter, Jemaa el-Fnaa, attracts locals and tourists alike to the 11th Century main square and symbolic souk (marketplace). Here visitors are enticed with an array of food stalls, hand-made leather crafts, acrobats and snake charmers, all wishing to attract a buyer’s eye.

The Residence Amina offers classic Moroccan style décor with intricate mosaics, carved ceramic tiles and wooden ornaments, along with colourful potted plants in the entrance and gardens.

Red City – Marrakech

For thousands of years, travellers, visitors and pilgrims scoured the “salmon pink painted” alleyways of Marrakech to listen to storytellers, barter a bargain or simply absorb the unique atmosphere of the “Red City” or “Jewel of Morocco”. Browsing around a labyrinth of cobbled streets the sounds of tradesmen calling out and the distinctive songs of “call for prayer” echo from the mosques, creating an unforgettable memory.

Travellers are invited to discover and experience the history of this marvellous city. The best way to explore Marrakech is to take a guided tour to the most spectacular sights. Over 6,000 TripAdvisor travellers highly recommended visiting the magnificent Ben Youssef Madrasa.

Admire the incredible architecture, multi-coloured mosaic walls and discover the fascinating history behind the 15th Century “Medersa” college run by Ali Ben Youssef between 1448-1458. As you pass the entrance take a glance up at the inscription above the doorway, it reads, ‘You who enter my door, may your highest hopes be exceeded’.

Discover the real Morocco by booking an exciting tour with the “Certificate of Excellence” awarded, “Morocco Active Adventure”. The specialist team offer unique and safe excursions. Try camel or horseback riding to the Zagora desert. On this two-day trip, experience the stunning views as you cross the Atlas Mountains before stopping in small oasis village for some food before heading towards the borders of the Sahara Desert. Overnight, absorb the atmosphere around a campfire as you gaze up towards the almost reachable stars as your guides sing a traditional tune.

Heading back to the cultural life of Marrakech, there is so much to discover and learn about this city as it constantly changes throughout the day and night. At the first light of day the locals rush to prepare the stalls to sell their produce, the sounds from the mosques are heard through the alleyways. As night time approaches the air is filled with mouth-watering smells from a wide range of food stalls and the street entertainers present amazing shows. This unique place will never cease to amaze all visitors with its diversity and changing colours.
