Holiday with friends

Itinerary and tips for a perfect short holiday in Marrakesh.

A great Marrakesh getaway needs a great place to stay — and in my books, you can’t do better than a riad in the Marrakesh medina.

Explore the sights and souks of the medina and kasbah, or old walled town – and eat like a local.

Traditional Moroccan cuisine? A relaxing hammam and massage? In a special package deal? At top-rated operators? What better way to spend a day in Marrakech?

Rocky red peaks above, green terraced valleys below, and traditional Berber villages in between — the Atlas Mountains are only an hour’s drive from Marrakech, but a completely different world.
