Marrakech
Souks & Sahara Short Break
Marrakech, nestled on a large plain at the foot of the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains and surrounded by its original fortified city wall entices you into its midst, allow it to absorb into your soul, even for just a few days and we are sure that, like us, it will become one of your favourite places. Marrakech has much to offer the visitor - the historic and labyrinthine Medina, the majesty of the Palaces, the tranquility of its many gardens and the sophistication of its more modern boulevards and cafes. Today, Marrakech has become a thriving metropolis with chic night spots, top restaurants and a very modern atmosphere in places. All of which emphasises the immense historical context of the Medina and its focal point, the Djemma el Fna. |

| What's included in your Souks & Sahara break? | ||||||
|
Our 'Souks and Sahara' package is ideal for those of you who wish to experience the stunningly beautiful desert region as well as the excitement of Marrakech. The Sahara seems such a long way away that it would not seem possible to get there and back in two days from Marrakech but with Rediscover the World a visit to the real desert of Morocco's deep south is a reality. The nearest section of the Sahara is just a little bit south of Zagora at Erg Lihoudi. En route you will visit the famous (from its film appearances) Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou and the potteries at Tamegroute. A ride through the dunes on the back of a dromedary followed by a night at a Bedouin camp will leave you with incredible and magical memories of the awesome canopy of the starlit heavens and the peacefulness and tranquility of the desert. Whenever you wish to fit it into your schedule we also have one of our regular guides available to provide a half-day city tour of the historic sights including the famous souks of Marrakech. Naturally, all transport is included in this short break and you round off your special break with a memorable evening at one of Marrakech's finest restaurants.
