Marrakech
Known for its lively markets, namely Jemaa el-Fna (the central souk), Marrakech is a delightful place to visit
for some retail therapy. Gaining popularity are Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, which frame Marrakech and offer
spectacular hiking opportunities to some of the most remote villages in North Africa. Embark on one of the
popular trails in the springtime, while the weather is mild.

Highlights 1 Admire Koutoubia Mosque and its famous minaret, which has become a symbol of Marrakech.
2 Visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum for a deeper insight into the work of the legendary fashion designer.
3 Be pampered at a hammam, with a traditional black soap scrub.
