Marrakech
Arriving in Marrakech is like stepping back in time. Wandering through the picturesque alleys of the old town, the medina, it is easy to imagine the caravan drivers loading their dromedaries with foodstuffs, tools and traditional handicrafts. The souks offer everything the traveller expects: colour, atmosphere, exotic fragrances and smiling, welcoming faces. And in the famous Jemaa El Fna Square, a truly medieval atmosphere awaits you night and day: storytellers, craftsmen and snake charmers compete for the attention of the passers-by. Everywhere the eye is drawn to the city’s famous landmark: the splendid minaret of the Koutoubia mosque. With a car, you can discover the mountain villages of the Atlas, the splendours of Essaouira, the mysteries of Fez, the Khasbahs of the Dadès or the Draâ or the sand desert at Zagora.
