Marrakesh

Welcome to Marrakech! More and more travelers are charmed by the atmosphere, the rich culture and flavors of a trip to Marrakech. The home is a real skill in this destination, where visitors barely out of the airport are pampered.

Marrakech is one of the destinations that do more than ever dream ... even if his old lovers swear not recognize today their "Pearl of the South." This changing city can not be ignored.
A steady stream of visitors, stalls full of junk; a periphery changing with the construction of dozens of hotels and palaces promising total dream; the creation of a new city on the road to Safi, 7 miles away; a mégastade, the first in the kingdom, in preparation for the African Football Cup held in Morocco in 2015 ... So many things that tend to make Marrakech a city scarred by tourism ... And yet, open your eyes, let yourself be carried away by the colors, the smells, the undeniable charm of Marrakech, this bewitching and fascinating city!

The huge Jemaa el Fna and agitation (day and night!) Alone are worth the trip. It is also lost in the colorful souks and noisy, probably the richest, most diverse, the most fascinating countries. Thousand small businesses are everywhere. Tourism, often maligned, has greatly promoted the rediscovery of a flourishing craft today, and the rehabilitation of Marrakech architecture. Hammams neighborhood glibness sellers of everything and nothing added to the thrill of an unforgettable spell.
To understand and appreciate Marrakech, we have to stay a bit. So this imperial city appears like a jewel set in the natural setting that is not far, the High Atlas Mountains.

It must be said that in four days, a traveler can spend around 850 €, the equivalent of three to four months' salary for a Moroccan: we understand that each visitor is treated like a VIP. The people of Marrakech, nicknamed bahja (happy people) are always ready to spend quality time with those they receive. For nearly a century, tourists enjoy the enchantment of the Djemaa el Fna. In steam and riads, these built around a patio that earned the medina to be registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site traditional houses, guests are treated like royalty.

The attack in 2011 on the Djemaa el Fna shocked the public and all lovers of Marrakech. But when you have it survived as the vagaries of history preserving its power than its beautiful pink walls, you do not let down as well: drying her tears, Marrakech has recovered quickly and returned to the fire tea mint welcome.
