the thousand and one nights of an imperial city

Marrakech, imperial city millennium, the Holy City to seven marabouts opens the door of southern Morocco and lovers of night life

It is a city of contrasts, where trendy spots, trendy restaurants, major hotels and oversized projects alongside a medina that has preserved its traditions and medieval atmosphere.

Tourist sites abound, historical, cultural or festive. Palaces, museums, gardens or riads and its colorful souks where various trades grouped by sector offer the fruit of the work of many craftsmen of the medina, all combine to surprise and delight the visitor's eye.

Jemaa el Fna Square in the heart of the historic city near the souks, seduced by his drunkenness both human and theatrical excitement and the imprint of a still recent past where the word, storytelling, fables and epic resonated within it. His incessant expansion turns into a huge open-air restaurant at the end of the afternoon, and late into the night.

Like a lighthouse, the Koutoubia eve of its top 70 m of the Imperial City.

The remote palm center houses a number of hotels and upscale restaurants. 70 km north of Marrakech, the High Atlas, the waterfalls in the valley of Ourika welcome people of Marrakech in the heart of the hot summer. Near the snow-capped Oukaïmedene in winter Marrakchis thousand resources practice skiing on its steep slopes.

Activities abound, sports of all kinds, golf courses, spas, high quality, excursions to the peaks of the High Atlas and beyond, barely more than two hours away, the sea. Essaouira deploys its charms, its colors and crisp air.
