5 Things You Didn't Know About the Marrakech

Your Morocco adventure begins in the vibrant city of Fez. Settle in for three nights at the striking and authentic Dar Roumana hotel where mosaic walls and marble floors abound. Spend your first evening taking in the panoramic views of the Medina on the sun-drenched terrace whilst sipping a Moroccan mint tea. As the sun rises over the Atlas Mountains, you’ll be awoken by the smell of freshly baked pastries and artisan coffee. Fuelled up with these delicious treats you’ll be ready to explore the Medina. Spend half a day with a private guide, weaving through the fragrant spice markets, admiring the handmade Berber rug stalls and bartering for embroidered slippers.

After another peaceful evening overlooking Fez, it’s time to immerse yourself in Morocco’s artistic and historic architecture. A day spent in Meknes, Volubilis and Moulay Idriss will expose you to Holy Mosques and ancient city ruins all with a story to tell. Stand back and marvel at the deserted beauty which once was a thriving community

MOVING TO MARRAKECH

After three days in Fez’s labyrinthine Medina, it’s time to pack up and make your way to Marrakech. Cruise along the Saharan desert whilst spotting the jagged Atlas Mountains in your chauffeured vehicle. Yes, the journey from Fez to Marrakech is long, but the trip itself is beautiful. After a day passing through stunning scenery, stretch your legs and take in your first views of Marrakech as dusk begins to set in. Your first experience of the diving swallows, the red skies and the calls to prayer that echo through Marrakech’s streets will be one you never forget. After the long journey, you’ll be thankful for your Riad’s traditional Hammam. Stroll down to the marble spa and relax with the help of authentic Moroccan oils and fragrant aromas.
