HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Small, immaculately restored Riads > Exploring the legendary souqs > The Djemaa el-Fna at dusk

Just over three hours from the UK, yet seemingly part of another world, Marrakech is an assault on the senses. A day spent meandering through the kasbah, medina and souqs of Marrakech leaves an indelible imprint on the memory. With brightly coloured carpets hanging from roofs, the smell of spices in the air and the sound of vendors selling their wares in the Djemaa el-Fna market square, Marrakech captures the imagination like no other city.

With the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, and framed by the red desert, Marrakech is a city that time seems to have forgotten. Wandering around the huge Djemaa el-Fna market at dusk feels almost medieval, as soothsayers, apothecaries, musicians, and acrobats entertain the huge crowds of locals and tourists alike, and foodstalls miraculously spring out of nowhere to sell everything from fresh orange juice to rich tagines.

Original Travel has selected some of the finest properties in Marrakech for you to choose from:

Inside the old city (medina) stay at one of several immaculate riads that provide oases of tranquility from the busy streets outside. Lovingly restored traditional buidings, riads often have a pool and roof terrace, and offer excellent levels of service and genuine hospitality. Our favourites are Jardins de la Medina, Villa des Orangers, Riad el Fenn, Riad el Arsat and Riad Farnatchi.

Alternatively, just outside the city, and away from the hustle and bustle, are two luxurious hotels: the Amanjena, a member of the renowned Aman Group of hotels, and Jnane Tamsna, a stylish boutique hotel. Both are located in the Palmeraie - an extensive oasis of palm trees and olive groves, and offer peaceful seclusion, first class accommodation and excellent facilities.
