Things to do

Atlas Mountains

There’s views and photos aplenty to be found at North Africa’s highest mountain range, including saffron-coloured fields, green forests, river-filled gorges and hazy planes.

Enjoy a mix of valleys; from fertile - the Zat and Mizane - to secluded - Zaouiat Ahansal and Ait Bougmez.

It’s a truly wonderful place to pass through or hike, so you’ve earnt those lazy hours by the pool.

Bahia Palace

With its 50 marble columns and eye-catching architecture, it's easy to see why Marrakech’s Bahia Palace was acclaimed as the most beautiful palace in the world upon completion.

It was first built in the 1860s by Grand Vizier Si Moussa and later expanded by his son, Abu Bou Ahmed, to house his four wives and 24 concubines.

Although housing intricate zouak (painted wood) ceilings, the 1,500 square metre floor of Italian Carrara marble is undoubtedly the highlight of this spectacular palace.

Jemma el-Fnaa Square

It’s hard to know where to look in the main square of Marrakech. Once the sun goes down the festivities begin, with a dazzling display of dancers, musicians, fortune-tellers, snake charmers and street theatre - some incredibly dating back to the 11th century.

It’s a place that exudes Moroccan charm, history and real local life. There’s a reason it was declared a ‘Masterpiece of World Heritage’ by UNESCO almost two decades ago.

Camel trekking

There are few things more archetypal of Morocco than this. A camel trek will allow you to experience the choice of transport for many Moroccans, with a trip into the heart of the famous blazing Sahara Desert.

Kasbahs, sand dunes, oases and distant mountain peaks will pass you on this trail, and if you time it right you’ll experience a desert sunrise or sunset that you’ll never forget.
