In the surrounding areas of Marrakech and the centre of the country, the nature is absolutely spectacular. Sportsmen and adventurers have the opportunity to really enjoy roaming these beautiful landscapes by foot!

Walks in the centre of Morocco

If there is a place that sums up the incredible diversity and richness of the beautiful country of Morocco, it is certainly the countless markets called souks.  You will dive into the unforgettable atmosphere and you will find everything imaginable and more.

Morocco's incredible souks

Today, Morocco has a worldwide reputation for its numerous cultural and principally musical festivals. It's a great occasion to discover the artistic riches of the country during a trip to Morocco.

Morocco is world famous for its imperial cities. Every day, tourists from the four corners of the earth tour round the incredible palaces and gardens in these unique places. A breath taking visit in the heart of Morocco's history.

Morocco's superb imperial cities

It's without doubt the most touristy town in Morocco, thanks to its amazing souk and the immense Jema El Fna Square.

Salaam alaikoum! When we think of Morocco, it is the buzzing and colourful souks, filled with the scent of exotic spices that spring to mind. We conjure up images of magnificent palaces, lush gardens and white, sandy beaches that stretch far into the horizon. But there is more to Morocco; a depth that goes beyond its beauty and colour. There is its soul, a heart that beats not only in the bazaars but also across its lands, all there for you to discover as you immerse yourself in the daily lives of its people. By meeting these people and by enjoying their hospitality during your stay, you will see Morocco and its inhabitants unveil the hidden treasures that lie at the core of their culture. From its four royal cities to the misty ramparts of Essaouira, from hiking and trekking across the countryside (be it in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains or on a camel’s back in the Sahara), wonders await you, no matter what your choice of holiday may be.

I enjoyed Tamegroute's labyrinth of kasbahs. They are connected by rather dark covered passageways. Be careful you don't get lost: consider spreading some pebbles, like Tom Thumb. There's a collective pottery workshop near the kasbahs which I recommend visiting while on holiday in Morocco. There you can admire some of the green pottery which is typical of Tamegroute. The Nassiriya zaouia (religious school) is another of Tamegroute's curiosities. Villagers across the Draa Valley go there frequently because it is believed to cure hypertension and anxiety. Its fame extends all the way to the Dades Valley further north, and to the Anti-Atlas mountain range in the west. While the zaouia is forbidden to non-Muslims, the madrasa is open to all. I loved visiting the library in Nassiriya's madrasa. There you can admire the illuminated Qurans, the oldest one dating back to the eleventh century.
