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.

Ourika Valley is an excursion you must go on during a stay in Morocco. I find that the place has a wild charm with its clay villages clinging to the sides of the mountains and its crops set out in a checked pattern: a huge variety of fruit and vegetables brighten up the valley like a carpet of greenery with apple trees, cherry trees, almond trees and wildflowers. In winter and spring, it is even possible to see the snow-covered summits of the Atlas Mountains and the shadow of the jebel Toubkal. The coolness of the valley is appreciated during the summer heatwave. What a joy to sit on the banks of the Ourika wadi, with its poplar trees and weeping willows that shade the prairies: a pastoral landscape in the middle of southern Morocco! But if the weather forecast is for a thunderstorm, be careful of the rising water levels of the wadi. To make the most of the local market, choose to go on Monday for Tnine Ourika with its famous aromatic products.
